Im a newcomer to Warhammer fantasy coming from the pc games vermintide (400 hrs) and total war (2000hrs). I've got 3 old world armies on the tabletop, and looking to get into the new RP.
So I guess I don't have a favourite edition yet lol maybe this new old world RP haha
4th edition is my current favorite but is only slightly beating 2nd edition.
My longest campaign was in 2nd edition as GM. What do you get when you have a zealot, a halfling barber-surgeon, a dwarf coachman, an elf thief, and a marine?
1st edition will always have a special place too since it the first version as a player.
I would definitely say my favourite is first ed WFRP simply because I am a creature of nostalgia, and I love anything embodies that late 80s, early 90s feel.
New subscriber here, thanks for spreading your luck forward! as of now, 4th edition is my favorite simply becuase it is the only version I've played! was a long time player of DND, but jumped ship a few years back to other systems. Currently running Enemy Within - just about to start book 2
I'm currently playing 4th edition WFRP with some friends, and it's been an amazing break from D&D. We love how helpful narratively the system and character creation has been so far. The starter set is also fantastic, you get so much value. As the GM I was able to spread it out over quite a few sessions and then it comes with another 10 or so hooks to create more adventures in Ubersreik. I'm very curious about the Old World RPG so I hope I get a chance to dive into it!
On another note, I found your substack through reddit, glad to have found it, going to go read some of your previous work now!
I suppose WFRP 4th Edition is my favorite by default, because it's the only one I've been able to play. I'd really like to try 2nd edition sometime as well as some of the other titles.
Only RPG system i have played with a group setting is a Deathwatch which I really enjoyed, sadly the campaign was short lived. Lately I have been loving Owlcats Rogue Trader (can that count as a favorite?), from that I picked up the PDFs. Currently trying to get my head around the system and set up a game for my table.
WFRP 4th Edition is my favourite! While I like and find their own benefits each in 1st, 2nd and even 3rd (in a board-game-night sense), WFRP4 has it all for me and seems like the best balance and combination of things I and my players like. Best of all, adventures write themselves as long as there are enough ”toys” in each scene, and character creation really breathes life into the PCs.
Great article....helps me plan my spending! (How many hate comments didn't read to the end about the "loss of product") Big Fan of IM and Voll Adventures is a great book with beautiful art and some unique adventures that aren't just rehashs. Warhammer RPG is still so good!!!
My favorite versions of wfrp are 4e for the system improvements, and 1e for the old school vibe. I always leaned closer to the content from warpstone magazine because it was slightly more seperated from warhammer fantasy battle.
My favourite edition?

I love how the adventures almost write themselves. As a GM, “what event would bring all these people together” is a terrific jumping-off point.

My favourite so far has absolutely been WFRP4e due to how intimate and simulationist it is - but I truly hope that TOW RPG changes that.
Here's my humble entry to the giveaway!

So far I've only played Old World (as a player, online), but I'm loving it!
By hearth i would say 2nd edition ruleset.
But after 20 years of practicing 4ed on fou dry as my preference
I haven't had a chance to play but im excited for this to be my opportunity!
2nd edition is my favorite, but currently I am playing 4th

I’m a fan of 4e. Complex systems. And a huge range of supporting books. The foundry modules are fantastic too!
Though I’ll confess I miss the sheer weirdness of the 2e career system.
