GhostWolf69,

 

I agree with you, with some other "I DON'T THINK" additions.

I think that, perhaps, I'll buy it just to check in, but sure I'm not going buying expansions or "kits" that will just overburden my table.

 

I'm just beginning to using PDFs and laptop to speedup play and improve the sessions with musics, photos, images and the like that the idea of cluttering my gaming table with some odditties (and dice) isn't looking right anymore.

 

But... new games are interesting. Still 100$ is a very steep price for something that isn't prospected as something that I'm going to play.

 

About the Box Format question... in all honesty this Boxed Version isn't so appealing to me but... who knows. Just in case it turns out to be something playable.

A few things to consider though: 

- While WFRP 3e may only have one more dice type than D&D (7 vs 6), it looks like it will have more dice over all.  For me, this makes it less attractive than D&D, and I don't particularly care for D&D.  WFRP 1e was attractive to me in that it only required, what, two dice types - d10 and d6, and 2e went even further, meaning I only need d10s. 

- most gamers I know all like to have their own dice that are distinctive from the dice of the player's around them.  Going to be hard to do that with this edition, since the colors of the dice are so integral to the game system.

- some gamers, including myself, and several others I've gamed with, like dice enough that we like to buy seperate dice for each game, and sometimes even for each army for wargames, and for each PCs.  Every PC I play has their own set of dice - it's part of their "character".  Yeah, I know, for the most part, one set of dice is just like another, but for me, seeing the distinctive dice for a particular PC in front of me tells me immediately what character I'm playing, and helps keep me in character.

 

I like that you embellish to create a flavor to with character, and I totally understand the obsessive fascination with dice (since my wife owns 5 different sets because each one is pretty). However, you'd hate playing at some gaming cons or my table because there are GMs that frown on DTMD! (don't touch my dice!) behavior. It can be fairly disruptive and aggravating when people start accusing each other of messing with their dice. My solution to that problem in my group was if you roll a perfect 20 (or 10), everyone passes a d20 or d10 of theirs to the guy on the right. That pretty much ended the entire "YOU SCREWED UP MY KARMA, MAN!" accusation period.

I mean, there are entire comics (think Dork Tower and KoTDT) that make fun of obsessive dice fondling by PC Golems.

I'd challenge you to wear a different hat, or use a stylish sheet.

And without an edit function, I realize I missed the core of my argument, and thus, must make the dreaded Double Post:

I'm looking forward to these new dice, because they allow me the GM to legally interpret the outcome to my desire so I can stare down that obnoxious player that bickers constantly about the margin of successes/failures.

How come you can't edit your posts when I can edit mine?

hint: At the header of your post it will say: "Edit | Reply #48 | Published on 15 September 2009"

Funny thing, but I have the same issue.
I checked to be absolutely sure, no edit button anywhere on/above/under or in any of my posts/topics.

Looks like, you are more privilaged than we are.

@Edit
LOL
And it's evem more funny, because I see (and can use as you see) an edit button on this one post.
But when I check the other posts (and topics I made)... still no edit button on them...
Anyone know how it works ??

But it's all subject to Change ^^

The edit option is time-sensitive. I don't know how long you're given to edit posts, but eventually the edit button disappears.

Ok, I understand, thank you for your answer.
I will have to keep that in mind.

 If you want to edit your post after the time limit expires (about 5 minutes iirc) then click the "Report to Moderator" button and change the word "reportar" in the URL it gives you to "editar". The function is always there, only the link is removed.

In answer to GhostWolf's final point, RPGs in box form are 15% more expensive than RPGs in book form due to VAT. So no, not all that excited.

15% more Dollars to get 100% more Nostalgia?

I'd say its a bargain.
