Books don't go out of date. You can still play 2E. Obviously FFG didn't want to publish just another typical fantasy role playing game, a market that is dominated by D&D, and saturated even more by the release of Pathfinder. I applaud their approach and their attempt to apply a new angle. If 3E was just an update to 2E, it would have been lost in the fog to D&D and PF for sure. At least now they have a better chance of gaining more notice.
Absolutly true, everyone of You who don't like the idea of WFRP 3 can still play Wfrp 2. Give us all, who like the idea of wfrp 3 a breake.
FFG YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB! JAY LITTLE YOUR A GREAT DESIGNER SO KEEP UP THIS GOOD WORK. YOUR WFRP 3ED WILL BE GREAT. I HOPE I WILL SEE IT THIS CHRISTMAS!

Those who deemed it necessary to lie to us, thereby telling us that it will not be important if we trust them (which is directly tied in to whether we might choose to buy products from them), thereby collectively giving us the finger.
I'm not sure that's not being a wee bit overdramatic to be honest. I think that they feel they are giving players a new and exciting way to experience a roleplaying game. FFG are always quite secretive about new products it seems to me and this new edition of WFRP is no exception. Again though, I can say for certain that this new direction does not appeal to me personally. I would rather they kept the amount of play components down to a minimum as I like games that I can play without requiring a table, and I'm quite happy with 2nd edition thanks very much. I hardly feel hard done by though, because I have all the 2nd edition stuff I'll ever need.
I feel you misunderstood me there. I absolutely do not mind the new edition. I really don't, especially if it gives people something they can have a good time with. I also definitely will take a look at it. All i am angry about is the delivery of this whole thing, that's it.

Take a breath and reread this thread. Then you see that people here are not saying 3e sucks but that the anger (on this this thread) is mostly directed at FFG and the way they have handled the situation.

Holy crap! I have never seen a larger bunch of whiney assholes! The presumptiousness and sense of entitlement is so thick here, that you have to wipe it away with toilet paper.
Given that we are all "whiney assholes" I take it you will not be joining our WFRP community. Oh well not gaining someone who insults every other fan of WFRP regardless of their individual opinions in his first post is hardly a loss to the community.
I think the word you are looking for is TROLL :)

I don't see how FFG could have kept everybody happy here.
SoE was already in the works at BI, if I recall, so it was logical to get it out.
Career compendium maybe had some writing done already also, who knows ? With corresponding expenses pending.
So in order not to lose money, they had to publish CC also.
Now when they started planning v3, they could have disclosed the project, but then they would have been swamped with fanmail wanting more info.
And FFG isn't a very large company. So if you want your head clear, you better not disclose at all. Unless you have some money to hire somebody to take care of the fans.
Personally, I would have liked a preview, a designer interview, something ! Just so we'd know something is in the works when no new products were announced for v2 for so long. But that's disclosing.
Also, as a company, I guess FFG wanted to make sure the new approach to RPG rules (ie the dice) would be novelty and unique at GenCon. So better keep your mouth shut until then. Now that GenCon is past and that the disclosure is done, we may expect more info from FFG.
This said, FFG are not too intense on web based marketing, I think. They have all these mini-sites that are really just store windows, and the blog and news that do provide some info, but spread these over so many games, that doesn't make the flow for any one game very intense. Lastly, they rarely come on the forums at all.
I say that is good management. Posting and responding to customers up close can be a real time waster. The FFG website knows what it is first and foremost, a store. It's not there to cater for a "community". I respect that. The community has to cater for itself and the WFRP community is a vibrant one.
I don't understand why people get angry against FFG because in the end, I think they took sound business decisions and if they wrote a great game, that's what we expect of a games company. That's the most important aspect. And we cannot discuss yet, because we know nothing of the true nature of WFRP v3.
