I'm a huge fan of the Warhammer system that this one seems to emulate, so if any of you guys pick it up and have time, could you post a little review for me? I'm thinking of shelling out some bucks for this.

That's a great way to frame it.

I think I came off as antagonistic above and I didn't mean to. I am genuinely curious why it seems some people who have run the game are hesitant to let players narrate their advantages. Even though I think that contradicts the rules, I don't think it's necessarily wrong.

It's all about the gaming group you have. Many groups consist of friends that have the same ideas of what makes these games fun and therefore cooperative storytelling isn't a huge deal. Other groups have players who only show up to "win" every encounter and do things like lie about their die rolls and such. If you're lucky enough to have a group like the former, this type of system is a lot of fun (I play WFRPG 3rd edition w/ my group) but if you are for whatever reason stuck with the latter, it can be a hassle to constantly have to fight against your players.

I'm sure this is just the honeymoon phase; I hope it holds up on repeat plays!

If it's any consolation, I've been playing various tabletop RPGs for about 20 years and the Warhammer 3rd Edition system that I started last year has become my all-time favorite mainly because of the dice system.
