The rules are quite generic, though the <i>illustrations</i> in both, particularly the Grindhouse Edition, convey a slightly more early modern (16th-17th century) feel to them than, say, the pseudo-medieval default of <i>D&D</i>. <br /><br />I will be talking about this in my review certainly, but I wanted to make it clear here that LotFP WFRP is still very much a "generic" fantasy RPG, no different than any edition of <i>D&D</i>.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-18953173966632891172011-04-29T15:26:31.769-04:002011-04-29T15:26:31.769-04:00James, you're probably already planning on inc...James, you're probably already planning on including this in your reviews but, just in case, would it be possible for you to address how much setting vs. game system is in the new LotFP?<br /><br />I like Raggi's stuff but personally I'm more interested in his scenarios, ideas of what WF is, the atmosphere he creates, etc. <br /><br />Thanks.Osskorreihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408780872015323307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-32191591822338895602011-04-28T16:30:02.929-04:002011-04-28T16:30:02.929-04:00Color me jealous.

I have to agree about Vornheim reading the PDF I've been very impressed with how Zak taught the old city supplement dog some very cool new tricks. Also looking forward to second edition of LotFP, as I missed out on the first, though I'm currently on a Runequest/BRP jag so that will go on the back burner for nonce.GrayPumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776658442266878498noreply@blogger.com
