Alright, here's the thing: I'm looking for electronic copies of the new Warhammer Fantasty Role Playing 2nd Edition books. I've already bought paper-copies of all of the published books to date, but I am really trying to get some electronic copies so that I can work on modules and other game-related stuff at the office. Can you imagine that my boss doesn't like walking by my cubicle and seeing 5 books spread out on my desk all having to do with the Old World??? What a prick. Anyway, if any of you can help me out with this, I would appreciate it.

ROFL.

As a side note: I love painting miniatures, and the first time I tried it, I discovered I was a natural.  I got the shadows, the details, the highlights, and the overall color scheme just perfect on my first piece, which I still remember -- it was an evil cleric in a grim reaper robe with a scythe.

I can't do Warhammer, though.  I'd love to, but it's just too much to handle with the fairly high prices and the long painting times... and the terrain can really take quite a while to prepare.  I find I get a better payoff playing excellent boxed strategy games such as Memoir '44 or Hybrid[/b].  Still, I use minis for traditional RPGs, and I love those large foam terrain hexes that some GW games use (you cut out 2"W x 1"H or so foam hexes, primer them, put a bit {or a lot} of model terrain on the top, insert a magnet to hold the miniatures during play, and repeat a dozen or so times for a rockin' , 3-D, professional-looking game board you can put together on the fly).

[Ruski]

Yea. Use to use thoes old hex maps from battletech all the time.
the warhammer ones are a bit over the top for me. (don't have the time or the money to put into them like that) but I'm still impressed with thoes who do.

for me, i'd just buy the biggest baddest 6' tall mo-fo out there, dip him in blue primer, and say "he fell in a lake. he's all wet, and he's on his own; so he gets the squad bonus for common paint theames."
LOL

but that's just me trying to cheat the system.

(oh, and I wouldn't really buy a figure, i'd just dip my brother in primer, and tell him to stand still.)

It would be cool, at just the right moments, I could have him reach down and eat the other game peaces.

Hoi Ruski,

Thanks for the help, but no, none of those are the books I am looking for. Those are for 40K, not the role-playing game. S bummer for me for the time being I guess.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

I got a couple more places I can check, that's just an easy one to hit up from work.

ahh... fun with IRC.

so gabe, you're gonna try and run somehting agian? and what do you think of the updated rules? I think they did a great job at cleaning things up and slowing down progression so you won't be 3rd career by session friggen 2.

[Gabriel]

Actually, chummer, I've already run some games with this system. I have to agree about them slowing down the progression, although it may be a bit too slow. However, I think it balances A LOT better this way. We've gone through several games, and we are maybe, half way to two thirds of the way through career #1. And since I am the only mage in teh group, it's going to be even slower for me later on. Of course getting access to ALL of the spells at second career helps, but with no way to cast the really big ones, I'll still have to progress to even try, which is good.

Of course, I'm still looking for PDF files ont eh rule books. I've gotten all of them in hard copy accept Karak Azgul, so I don't concider it piracy in the slightest.

Gabriel

[Jester]

lol awesome! you got Tony and Mona in the group? or is it some new people?

[Gabriel]

Tony, Mona, Sarah, Josh (Tony's little brother on trial membership) and me. Personally, I would like to play more than once a month, but Tony has become a drama king and gotten himself a family. That bum. But oh well. I still have fun when we get to play. Of course, I'm STILL looking for a PDF of that book...

And since I am the only mage in teh group, it's going to be even slower for me later on.

Yeah, a bit, but nothing like what it was in ye Olde Gayme (of Warhammer). I think there are actually more expensive careers than magicians now.

[Gabriel]

That whole thing about being a specialist wozard in 1st edition was just ridiculous. Who could afford 800Xp to TRY to learn a 4th level spell??? That was ludicrous.

Gabriel

[Jester]

heh, you should look at vampire hunter, ee gad

[Gabriel]

Actually, I have, but it's been a while. The thing I like about the basic careers now is that you have to spend about 800XP per career to get going. That evens things out and makes it much more fair for starting PC's. For example, I had 2 PC in WFRP1, an Alchemist's Apprentice and a Mercenary. Guess which one took me 6 months to get out of a basic career???
