They are not in print becouse there are no reprints of the core set or gm vault. FFG is selling those out. And You can buy those for half of the price or cheaper - if you give it a good try and are lucky.

I really don't get it why people ae getting so nervous about it? Fans of WFRP 2e were unhappy when FFG announced 3e, now fans of the 3e are nervouse becouse there is a chance, not officialy confirmed, that would release 3.5e or 4e of WFRP. I don't get t people should be happy that the game is evolves and You are still getting more options in it and every edition is trying to be better then previous. The truth is that every WFRP was different and You can choose which one is the best for You. And with so much prevoius material You can create an endless adventure.

So for me the lack of dice and announcment would mean that FFG is preparing a new edition. But that's just my opinion,

Cheers and happy gaming

What on earth would lead you to conclude that FFG is releasing a new edition of Warhammer Fantasy?  It seems obvious that they've moved onto the Star Wars RPG with the Core Mechanic, and that this edition is at least starting to wind down.  But why would you think they'd make another edition of a game if they are cancelling this one due to slow sales?

- lack of dice

- lack of announcments (no new expansions)

- low sales

- big christmas sale

It all looks like the sytuation that happened to WFRP 2e it's very similar. I don't say it has to be a new edition but maybe a revised? Something to let players customise the game the way they want - so to play without cards (not the Lite version that is horrible). So a new/revised edition with backward capability with 3e would have a chance to win back some of WFRP 1e & 2e fans. Besides the game must make money to stay on the market and WFRP 3e is not making to much of it now. Thetre are other reasons but I don't want to write donw once more all of it.

cheers

Hoping to win back 1e/2e fans with a "liter" version of 3e would be a major gamble. It would be much safer to improve upon the percentile mechanics, which they already know those fans will use.

Wouldn't all of those things point to the game's cancelation, not a new edition?  Why would they want to make a new edition of a game that isn't selling well?

+1. I don't foresee any new editions for this game in the near future. I expect a few more PoD's and that's about it.

Their outstanding (not) level of communication really helps things too. 

Another thing to consider of course is that the translations of foreign editions are just coming on line, so they are lazily sitting on that as well, but of course if anyone comes to these forums for information, all they're going to see is that we're complaining about lack of dice :)
