4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Impressive Update, 5 April 2005
I came to this second edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay with a certain amount of trepidation. WFRP 1st edition was the first role playing game that I bought and played, and over the years I have maintained a considerable affection for it. However, I am pleased to say that this second edition more than lives up to its predecessor. The rules seem to have been streamlined thoughtfully, especially in terms of character generation and magic; the careers system, one of the great highlights of WFRP1, has been maintained and indeed improved; the background material is good; and the entire thing has been produced as an attractive hardback book, printed on glossy paper with lots of colour illustrations. The dark atmosphere of the original game seems in many ways to have been maintained. I have held back one star on the review as, despite all of this, it still feels a little insubstantial compared to WFRP1 at about 60% of the original page count. However, it's still a very impressive update and I look forward to future volumes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hardly indispensible, 24 Nov 2007
By C. J. Hutchins "jabbathehutts_lovechild" (Sheffield UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Character Record Pack: The Indispensible Aid to Help Players Create Mighty Heroes (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay) (Paperback)
The character pad is certainly a very handy investment and includes enough sheets to keep you going for several campaigns. Unless you kill your players an awful lot.
The rest of the information is so-so. The name generator is great for NPC names, especially mid-game, but all but the most unimaginative players will probably prefer to come up with their own.
The rest of the tables provide random generators for a selection of pointless information. Not exactly something you really need. And the character 'portraits', though nice, aren't really very useful. They are printed on the inside of the cover sleeve which tends to get damaged quite easily.
Basically, buy this if you want a bunch a character sheets - expect something 'indispensible' and you will be dissapointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars A grim world indeed!, 17 July 2007
By S. Connolly - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was really glad to see that Warhammer had been rereleased once more especially by such a credible group as Ronin/Black industries who have been responsible for some of the best supplements recently.It aslo is at a good prce for a core rulebook if purchased from amazon. I have 'happy' memories of the Death on the Reik campaign when I was younger roleplayer though I never semed to fiunish it- I think we got up to Power behind the Throne.The system seems to have been streamlined so that only D10 are used which in the current campaign I'm reffing has worked extremely well(most if them being vampire players!). The system for magic is good though I think they could have provided more spells/items etc especially on the Chaos front.

Character creation is easy and good fun and a wise GM may allow some players to reoll. However non humans are still overpowered in creation and this needs to be looked at. In my current campaign all players are human so it doesn;t become an issue.

I suppose the only real gripes is experience stinginess and the newish setting of the storm of Chaos. In the old version it was too easy to get experience in this version it seems too tight.However a ref can always alter this.Fortune points are a good addtion though in many cases especially in the published campaign this stacks things too much in the players favour.I find the new setting slightly confusing especially when playing the set campapign.All the most important people in the country are fighting off Archaon - when do they come back, whats the result? Perhaps this will be a later campaign adventure.

The criticals system is good and always makes the players laugh(or wince).

Overall a good system especially if you favour a simple system easy to run set up with a realistic-ish edge.I can only hope that some one will release Death on the REIK!
