Hey guys
Just checking on the interest level of a WFRP, 2nd edition campaign.
Starting small, maybe the intro adventure or something similar, then see where the fates take us? I have a rough idea of what I want to run, but it also depends on the groups' preferences/choices. I have all of the 1st and 2nd edition resources, so many , many options.
I'd love to get characters 2 or 3 or more careers in, see what higher level WFRP play is like.
What say you?

Waves at scranford and Black Dow. I knew you two would most likely respond :) Wasn't sure how many others of the WFRP diehards were still around.
Karma, from my experience there's not a whole lot of difference between 2nd and 4th, except 4th introduces some newer mechanics such as the between adventures optional rules. They also made advancements more complicated, in my opinion.
But, my preference for 2nd edition really comes down to the feel of the older rules....I like them better! :)
Critzible, you're more than welcome. In case you're not too familiar with the Warhammer system, it's grimdark low fantasy. Characters have careers instead of classes. Characters don't level up, they advance/increase their stats/skills. It's a different feel from dnd or pathfinder.
Here's a comparison I found recently online:
20ft fall in DnD/Pathfinder, after about 4th or 5th level: I can take it (either enough HP, or some skill can mitigate it).
20ft fall in WH, with 2000+XP: Hmm . . . that could break a leg, who's got the rope and can tie knots? No one? Let's find another way down . . .
Four is enough for a campaign, I think, if you're all willing.
If anyone needs access to the core rule book, PM me and I'll send you a link.

Ah, man! I missed it!
pinvendor is actually my very first character ever played in WFRP 1st edition.
Lol, ironically I just commented in another thread about never seeing WFRP on Paizo boards.
I used to know the WFRP 2E rules backwards and forwards. Not a rules lawyer myself since I let the GM decide everything, but if anyone ever challenged a ruling, I was the living encyclopedia the table turned to if they didn't feel like trying to find chapter and verse in the various rulebooks. :P
If you find yourself needing any replacement players, shoot me a PM!
