Far from perfect, but at least Warhammer Fantasy hasn't been entirely squatted. Hopefully it returns one day.

Now GW can stand back and watch how you handle an IP.
WFB GETS ANOTHER ROLEPLAYING GAME AND NOTHING FOR AOS
ITS NOT FAIR
FUCK
So what the fuck do we know about Cubicle7? I've seen some of their books on digital shelves but never a brick and mortar store.
Are they one of those companies that tries to cram everything into one universal system they have copyrighted like Modiphius? Do they write unique mechanics for each game so the system targets the fluff and intended feel? Do they spam us with sourcebooks or stick to fewer but bigger hardcovers?
I need information before I decide to be excite or depressed. All I really know is they were rumoured to get the license back in January so they've probably been writing for about 5 months now and a 2017 release date seems likely.
>>53414378
It's AoS roleplay
>>53418435
Did you bother to read the link, desu?
I'm so fucking excited. My two favorite franchises get new tabletop games this year.
I just hope my 2e books stay relevant if the game's good. I discovered my favorite game after it was oop and paid a lot.
>>53414378
So who supposed to be audience of this RPG?
>>53419550
The people who like the Old World and play the other editions of WHFRP?
>>53419550
People who like the old world but not the older rpgs
>>53419603
>>53419634
Yeah surely they are all such cucks that will run to buy it.
>>53419648
Third edition was pretty bad. Wouldn't be surprised if this sells well.
>>53419648
>What's the audience of dnd 5e? Noone who likes kitchen sink fantasy will check it out.
U rn.
>>53419698
>Wouldn't be surprised if this sells well.
Again who will buy it?
>>53419603
But we already get Zweihänder.
>>53414378
Say what you want about rules or edition preference, but the Old World is 100% a better setting than AoS. Glad to see them keeping it around
>>53421477
Not officially Warhammer, not well marketed, and nothing special mechanically to encourage people to get it over 2e. If Cubicle can do well (I've heard good things about The One Ring and The Laundry, haven't played either) then there is a market to scoop into.
>>53421648
>Not officially Warhammer,
So what? it have all charm of Old World.
>>53421449
Pen and paper games are more visible, and have a broader appeal, than ever before. Pair that with how well its flavor of Total War has been received and it's almost certainly going to find an audience.
>>53414378
lol. wargaming people who moved to AoS won't buy it, wargaming people still sour about AoS won't buy it because they're grognards with all the previous books, and with WFB no more, there will be very few outside people interested in it, who the fuck is the target audience here?
>>53421663
Sorry slav, but name brands exist for a reason. 'Kinda like warhammer but different' isn't a great selling point against 'actual Warhammer that can use all the names and history and intwresting quirks you want'. Why did D&D5e sell well, when there are better games that do what it does?
>>53421736
>RPG from Literally-who-Devs
>good sells
pick one
>but name brands exist for a reason
That's why all Warhammer games except DoW had a shit sells?
>>53421955
I'll take 'What is TW:WH?' for 500
>>53421955
Total War Warhammer sold better than any other total war game.
>>53422146
>>53422160
Oh yeah another AAA game from good devs and budget.
Any words about Chaos Gates, Rites of War, Final Liberation, Fire Warrior, Space Marine, Mushrooms vs Gay CSM, Carnage?
>>53422185
Oooops, almost forgot about other examples:
Vermintide, BFG, Eternal Crusade, Deathwing
So, back on topic,
Is anything from these no-name cunts any good?
What can we expect from this orgy Morpheus?
Why the hell is GW selling square bases still? I'd literally suck someone's dick to get WFB back.
>>53422221
Vermintiee is still getting updates
Unlike AoS
>>53422619
>Vermintiee is still getting updates
yeh because devs are almost bunkrupt
>Unlike AoS
Top kek
>>53422669
>>53422619
>>53422221
vermintide is shite desu
just a worse left 4 dead
>>53414378
mite b cool
>>53422847
Vermintide has better melee
>>53414378
>>cubicle 7
It's worse than lost, It's now hipster.
>>53416442
It's actually pretty fair.
>>53414378
They say they'll get back to the roots of 1st and 2nd edition. Let's see how they'll either nail it or fuck up horribly
