I haven't touched WFRP 3e. The buy-in cost alone puts me off, and it's full of cards and pieces and other table clutter. Does not appeal to the Von demographic.
Yes, the buy-in cost. I'm pretty sure that you could get a WFRP1e rulebook and the whole Enemy Within Campaign for under £100. And if you didn't fancy Empire in Flames, and many don't, for much less than that.
When I say 'could get', I'm not talking about the past - when you could get a good bag of sweets for 10p. I mean you *can* get that kind of WFRP1e bundle now, on eBay, in decent nick, if you wanted to.
2000AD was 20p in 1984, so comics and a good bag of sweets for 30p! Those days were so different from today, what with unmployment rising to an all time high...
But we can recapture that early 1980s feeling - my contract runs out in September, so I'll likely have plenty of time to play Old School RPGs.
My group has it and a number of supplements, but we've never played it. We did play a brief WFRP campaign, but we used the second edition.

ReplyDeleteNow all I really want is a 10p mix from 1984!
