The art's pretty good, but they look uncomfortably like mid-nineties gamers to me.

Really? Mine were also kinda pasty, but they weren't so ripped.

Anyway,

Thanks for posting these pics Erik. IMO they have really got the look right. I was a bit worried because I assumed only GW artist could do the setting justice...obviously I was wrong

Iw as really interested in this game until I found out how they were releasing it.

You mean, because it's coming out in three installments? I think it's a brilliant plan, and I wish it had been applied to WFRP2E.

What don't you like about it?

The order of release? The fact that it's three games? The focus on the Imperium?

I'm stoked. I'm waiting to see the rules demo before I decide if 40KRP's going to disappoint. This batch of images makes me think that I might devote my next 20 years of gaming to it.

I think it's an idea as stupid as it is unnecessary as it is commercial. There is no need for it at all.

The fact that it's three games. I'll still check them out when they hit the stores, but I'm no longer wanting to pre-order it.

Maybe the fact that they're swindling you with three crippled half-games that try to force you to play the way the designers think you should instead of one complete one where you can play however the fuck you want?

I honestly don't mind three different books focusing on different aspects of the setting. It was something I was going to do in my homebrew anyway.

If you don't like the approach that's being taken, given BI's resources* how would you go about developing a 40K RPG?

*Maybe this means, "given Green Ronin."

That seems like a rather silly way to frame the question, given that it would consume far less resources to produce a single complete hardback like they have already done just fine with WFRP.

RPGPundit · June 21, 2007, 11:51:25 PM

Yup, that's exactly it, my solution, radical as it may sound to some, would have been to have made a single complete RPG.

A single complete rpg and sourcebooks, right? It seems to me that there's a lot of ground to cover. Of course when they do finally publish all the books and the pertinent info from all three could be fit in one rpg book - then of course it's online bitching time.
