So just ignore the bugger. By posting what you did you brought more attention to his post than it deserved.

Since it was brought up more than once (including myself) that the WFRP dice are out of stock in the FFG shop, I thought I should post what customer service told me:

[quote]As noted we are currently sold out of the item, but fear not there is a reprint right around the corner! It's on the docket and will be back in stock shortly![/quote]

A reprint? Of dice?

WOW!!!   This brings up 2 VERY LARGE OMG's!!! 

1. OMG!!!  THAT is GREAT news !!!

2. OMG!!! WHY CAN'T FFG PUT THIS INFO SOMEWHERE ON THEIR WEBSITE!!! 

I mean,. what is going on over there?!?  I think they have gotten a hold of some of that Goblin Fungus. <megaphone voice>  "Put the mushrooms down and step away from the punchbowl ! "  

Yes, heaven flipping forbid they ACTUALLY communicate with their customers without having to be asked.…and B) I don't believe anything that customer service says.  So, I call B.S., just to string the base along a little longer.  If and when they get their associate person, maybe something will happen…again, maybe it's the same customer service that said a couple years back, "No, 2e isn't being cancelled.  Where did you hear such a silly rumor?"   ;). If they do reproduce the dice, it sure would be a good chance for them  to show that they're not in a coma about this game.

jh

I just sent an e-mail to support, asking if the dice pack is returning. Yeah, I should use that in a standup routing, except the only people who get it would just weep.

I've searched the web for 2nd and 3rd edition comparisons and found this thread instead. And it looks like hysteria to me.

Even if FFG decides Enemy Within is their last product in WFRP line - that doesn't scare me a bit, and that is because they have ALREADY done work of titanic proportions. Having all the 3rd edition books and expansions means having everything you need to run adventures in the Old World till the end of millenium, considering the amount of material from previous editions which can be easily translated into 3rd edition play system.

Got all those 3rd edition books already? completed all printed adventures and campaigns? Well you must be hell of a player or GM to me, and you must know all the rules and cards by heart. With such experience you can design your own components and campaigns.

Or course if someone just craves 'attention'  and  thinks that FFG must communicate with them on regular basis, eat a pill and relax, you are being hysterical, cause trying to attract atention for attention's sake is just that - hysterical.

Please, try not to think about FFG income or their policies instead of simply playing the game. The only case in which wfrp3e is being kicked off - is you personally not playing it at that particular moment.

First off — This not dead yet?

Ok with that said, there are plenty of FLGS' that have them in stock, Orc's Nest is one, so I don't think we have to yell DICEPOCALYPSE! Just yet. I'm sure we'll see plenty more books, the line is selling well (so are all the warhammer rpgs) and the lisence isn't running out.

That they focus on the Star Wars IP right now is pretty obvious and understandable, it's a massive land and it would have cost FFG a lot of money and they will need to make that money back, fast. I don't think we'll see a new WFRP box for the next 6 months, but I'm pretty sure we'll see a few of the new bigger PoD's.

Sorry to disillusion you, but I for one and my group have done all the adventures they have produced for 3rd edition and a sizeable number of those for 1st edition as well. The reason we have not done everything yet is because one or more of us have already done them to the 1st or 2nd edition rules already. Also for reference sake, some of us have written for FFG WFRP products, play tested for them, and have written new material or are writing new mterial for Liber Fanatica. And that includes a product that is longer than anything FFG have produced so far for WFRP.

As to craving constant communication, it would just be nice to know if or when we might be able to get some more dice without having to buy the Core set again. Not much to ask. As to reassurances about WFRP, FFG have form on that one. Compared with what Black Industries produced for 2nd edition, FFG have barely started.

At the moment we are not playing WFRP because we did not like what we saw of The Enemy Within and have got a ittle tired, with busy lives and all that, of constantly having to rejig 1st or 2nd edition adventures. As it is,I am trying to rejig Pathes of the Damned for 3rd edition.

If you and your group have such profound experience and played averything 3 editions have to offer - have you considered designing your own campaign - you have all the material and skill needed for that. When I started playng  pen and paper rpgs, we didn't have any rules or modules or designed adventures at all, so we created everything ourselves. Wanna play in Lustria, Araby or Cathay (maybe even Nippon) - you got a hell of a background information you can use from real world history AND all the cards and dice and stuff you ever need if you bought all those 3e expansions.

Already doing that so that it can be published on LF, but not everybody has the time to do that.

As to the communication problem, when FFG will not communicate with successful freelancers that they have used before, despite repeated requests, you know there IS a communication problem

They don't have them online, so I'd say the dicepocalypse has started :)

This system is not dead but dying and it's not Dying In The Light ;p. FFG just slowly stops to support it.

And about reprints of dice or anything to WFRP3e - I send a messege to one of the FFG distribution companies in Europe and they said that they contacted FFG and got an negative anwser. That in the near future there will be no reprints for WFRP 3e system - so no dice packa or any expansions. 

All this sytuation reminds of what happend to WFRP 2e. Fans also asked FFG to not drop the line, do not close it. And FFG said ok will still support it and then come Shades Of The Empire and Career Compendium and that was the end of 2e. That's just a thought but if I were You I would prepare myself for the comming end.

Cheers

PS. The W40k lines are selling well so I think FFG will not drop the licence and still support them, especialy Only War which is new. But W40k line are a lot more popular the WFRP. So the main reason for a change of WFRP system would be - the game is not selling that well. I got a proof for that seeing many shop that I know are selling WFRP products for half of the price just to get rip of them. Sorry but the truth is that I don't see a future for this game as it is now. It's need changes, some Tzeentch blessings, so that it could come back to the top bestselling  RPGs.

So the only way to get dice packs is via the core then or make your own, drat wish I bought the game when it first came out, was plenty of dice packs back then.

Apart from the dice, what is in the core pack that be any use to anyone?  That you havent already got from the expansions.

There are so many products people are seeking, you think they get those out the way first before they closed shop.

All I can think off the top of my head is source material for the races/creatures for Wood/High elves, lustria, etc. The missing higher level careers.
