Getting home from the pub I saw that RebelDave posted that the new WFRP has been announced. This is the link:
I am drunk, so I can’t make a coherent statement as of yet, so I’ll get back to this piece of news tomorrow!
Although I must say that this piece of marketing speak is awful:
Stances provide characters a unique venue to reference their approach
Seriously, what the fuck? But it seems cool, so I’ll keep an open mind.

Color me confused as I delve deeper into this mystery product. It’s evidently set in Altdorf, which could be cool, or frustrating, depending on if the designers deigned to use my map as part of their research. If they didn’t, well then I’ll just have to see what they’ve done and adjust to that.
EDIT: found the forum and a PDF flier of the Daily Altdorfer giving more background. If this is something akin to Space Hulk, I’ll be pleased as punch. Although I get apprehensive to read a lot about Altdorf …

But then this little mortar bounced into my vicintity:
Blog entry revealing playtest of WFRPv3.
The important bit is the following:
A coupe (sic) of weeks ago, our regular roleplaying group was privileged enough to playtest 3rd Edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.
Normally, that wouldn’t fly with me, but Graham McNeill is a writer for the Black Library, so it makes the source more legit than what is normally the case in these situations. And mr. McNeill will probably get a rather sharply worded e-mail from FFG. Jeez man, that’s one way to spill the beans, I guess.
Read the entry. I am not happy with what I’m reading, but I will reserve judgment until I hear more detail from the horse’s mouth. It could be that the game described could be just what WFRP needs to break into the mainstream. My adoption will depend largely on if this hypothetical game is compatible with WFRPv2 or not …
Nah, who am I kidding? If it’s got “Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay” on it, I’ll play it.
