Hey! I found another thing to complain about! Theese boxes. We need boxes to keep our characters in? This is UNBELIEVABLY unpractical! In 2nd i only needed 2 sheets of paper. So if we want to play anywhere else we need to carry around these BOXES? AAARGH!!!

ok, please, tell me this was just sarcastic...

i mean supposely when you go around to play with 2ed you take a bag or a backpack right?

with 3ed nothing stops you from leaving home all the carreer cards and other stuff you do not need, and i really don't think the stuff you'll have to take with you will take more space than all the books and other stuff you already have to carry with 2ed...

Today I've found new reasons to mock 4th edition D&D and good news about 3rd edition WFRP.

*tents fingers, smiles evil GM smile*

 

Excellent.

Are YOU being sarcastic? All you need to carry around in 2nd edition is a book, a few peces of paper, a pen and some dice. Other books are optional, and that's all there is. A giant box full of cards is QUITE a bit more to carry around.

And not to mention that you could never play this game without a table. My party doesn't have a table within reach at all times, and this is forcing all the players to be gathered around one with this "party pool" and whatever.

You do realize the amaount of space needed is the same right? I mean, they're not table-size cards, they're just the size of normal playcards... i bet they'll take more or less the same amount of space as your normal pieces of paper... more than that what do you have to carry? the custom dices? you already carry dices with you, you just have to replace your normal ones with the custom. The books? somewhere has been said they'll be between 98 and 120 pages, not a big deal in space taken imho...

Miore than this you have nothing, the "Character Boxee" are just somethin you can use, you are not forced to use them...

About the ABSOLUTE NEED of a table you can go on doing exactly as you have done so far, since you do not have miniatures or a board to use... the "party pool" can be just held by one of the players or by the GM... i really do not see the tragedy...

I do not what to seem someone who has to defend this game from every attach, but these are just poor objection...

 

Everything is just in my opinion, i would like to point this out really well, i do not speak of unquestionable thruth...

As long as I don't have to have all mini's painted in order to play, I'm probably good ;)

This sounds really cool - nice to get a really good summary of the seminars - my confidence in the new approach is rising steadily.

As asked in an earlier discussion; question is, can you make a band of let's say 4 Witch Hunters or are the cards to specific for this?

 

I don't hope that FFG has added in restrictions like this unawares...

Four: every character has a "Stance" track with a conservative side and a reckless side to it that affects all their abilities and spells that they use based on which side of the track they are currently choosing to be on (and yes you can change which stance you are in often - usually every round). Different careers have different amounts of conservative vs reckless on their track and how far out on on one side or the other you currently are will have a greater affect on how things work out. It should be noted that all abilities and all spells have both a conservative and an aggressive version which have their own bnefits and drawbacks and they are handily summarized on opposite sides of their cards.

This mechanic sounds an awful lot like Arkham, where you have to set all your points every turn.

Seven: The reason the careers are on cards is so that as more careers are added you just slip them in the career deck and have them all in one place rather than scattered over multiple books and supplements. Ditto for ability cards and spell cards.

So are they not in the books? that's my question.  better hope we don't lose a card.

Get used to it.  Previous threads have essentially stated that all releases planned at the moment are boxed sets.

I imagine a campaign box would have a few new careers, a whole slew of NPC career cards, Monster cards, new spell and skill cards, maybe some new dice.

Seriously, how many decks are there to keep track of now.  Has anybody played Descent Road to Legend?  Fun game, but the card decks are out of control.  Its a matter of time, I tell you.
