Tias posted:I can't recall having watched any good heist movies https://bladesinthedark.com/downloads The rules summary sheet and the player playbooks are like 80% of the rules, so you can certainly get the flavor. The base setting is basically Dishonored but spooky, and it is incredibly easy to refluff to be anything. The flashback mechanic especially is perfect for capturing the feel of heists.

I mean I am doing it in the sense that this is a campaign that I am actually running right now. The system is so narrative that the only mechanical work that has to happen is a list of Gangs and their level. The Leech is a Rogue tech priest, the Whisper is an orphan who hears voices, and the Lurk is a Window Washer. gently caress it is fun.

Infinity has a similar system for how damage dice work. 1 is 1, 2 is 2, and then a 6 is a special effect that isn't just "more damage". Seems to work pretty well. I don't know what to think about this system though. I have already played a ton of White Wolf games already so this system doesn't really have anything exciting. I am glad that the Old World rpg is sticking with the old system.

I really hope the new system plays well. Having all the FFG books, it is really going to have to be an improvement to make me switch over. Which is definitely possible, as something more streamlined would be a huge benefit.

That magic preview is great. I always liked wizards in 2nd edition but maybe the Lores will be a little more balanced now. Having more generic spells is a really good idea.

WFRP 4th is so good so far. I really hope I can get a game of it going sometime. Just the fact that your damage is based on how successfully you rolled and not a random d10 is a change I particularly like.

Dre2Dee2 posted:That being said I'm probably going to play Warhammer 4th more (which hopefully doesnt suck) As someone who played a lot of 2nd edition, 4th is a big improvement across the board. Just the fact that they have rules for upgrading stats that are outside your current class is a fantastic improvement, and the new magic rules seem way more manageable. I loved the extreme danger of the old magic system but you were always one roll away from ending your carefully crafted campaign with some "lol miscast. Time to roll new guys"

MonsterEnvy posted:Cublice 7 apparently was in the middle of relocating to Ireland during all of this and have just gotten settled. They have also expanded the team and hired a guy whose purpose is communicating with the fans. It's people are now joining Discords and talking about upcoming stuff, playtests and some of their current stuff. Oh that is great to hear. With the book staying high on the best sellers list at Drive-thru I assumed it was a big success. I have everything they have produced so far and the quality is fantastic.

JcDent posted:Smells of the kind of meh blandness that Wrath and Glory reeks of. This is exactly why I am excited that Cubicle 7 is doing this and not Ulysses Spiel. Everything from Cubicle 7 that I have I have enjoyed, and I am pretty sure that a "dice pool" is a common enough mechanic that it shouldn't raise any red flags. I will say a campaign about a Fyreslayer, a Skink Priest, and a Stormcast traveling to another dimension to overthrow and evil Chaos Lord with a massive army is way more sensible here than the same plot with a Space Marine, an Ork and a normal IG soldier.

JcDent posted:It helps that dorfs, Skinks and Sigmarines are of the same faction. Would you feel the same about a Sigmarine, an Orc and a Freeguild Soldier doing the same? It would not be ideal, but still way more sensible than it would be in 40k. At least with AoS the leaders of the factions were allies in some Age of the World. Space Marines have a divine mandate to purge all non-humans. Sure, buddy.  If you are willing to believe that a game about Non Ironic Heroic Genocide Soldier has no relationship to fascism, well that is sure A Thing.

It is a big shame. I love 4E a lot so far, but just being a corebook is tough when I have all my 2nd Edition books just sitting there ready to go. Still, the system being updated was a really nice thing and I will be buying anything else they put out in the Old World.

I imagine you could convert monsters and NPCs fairly easily, especially since you already have some converted already which you can use as benchmarks. Really easy.

Yeah, WHRP 4th is a beautiful product so this is definitely a good move. It will still need a big jump in flavor to get me to play WanG over Black Crusade or Rogue Trader but I am definitely much more interested in the line now. Just give me the Fall of the Eldar book and archetypes for more aspect warriors and I am there.

Oh for sure. The One Ring books are great at capturing the flavor of the books, so I am sure it is in better hands. I don't love the base system in WanG but not to the point that I wouldn't play it.

I always had a lot of fun with Black Crusade. It is basically Rogue Trader with Space Marines. I actually like that you have to make an effort to be devoted to a particular God and can't just take all the optimal stuff. I get why people wouldn't like it, but it does add flavor. If you are really serving one God for the sweet bonuses and cost reductions it makes the out of God purchases more meaningful too. But I would never mix CSM and humans unless you know there is no way for them to be balanced in combat. My most successful campaign was all CSM except the one human who played the ship captain who drove everyone around.

Relevant Tangent posted:New RPGs even ones with established IP fail more often than they succeed. Money is tight as hell at any rpg company, so when you release a sloppy mess that has to compete with a pre existing game in the same setting that is an extra barrier. Your book looking like poo poo and getting a lukewarm reception at launch is death to any game. I personally thought the game looks really bland and unfocused, so I was really counting on things like the Eldar source book to really provide what I wanted to actually run a campaign. Because that never happened and no other real supporting material came out I just put this whole system out of my mind. At the same time WHFB 4th came out, and looked and played extremely well. I was much more uncertain about upgrading my beloved 2nd editon but they won me over with good mechanical upgrades and a beautiful presentation. In summary, mixed campaigns are garbage for idiots and basing your company on the premise literally causes you to fail.

Yeah, hopefully we will get more soon but at least they are pretty active on their blogs and things. There are so many little things I like about the system that just really work well. The downtime actions stuff I like a ton. Let's you have a campaign where the party can actually have sensible breaks and a life outside of killing Beastmen or dying in the sewers, and it also helps with Elves being a superior race. Just smart stuff all over.
