Re: Thought this was interesting...

Its going to be 'Roleplaying For Powergamers and People Who Dont Want
Anything Bad To Happen To Them In Their Games.'.

I can see the advert now...

"Why play a mere Imperial citizen when you can play a fully decked out
monster planet striding Inquisitor? Thats right folks, take the hassle
out of roleplaying with our system thats tailored to our current
ideology of 'minimum input, maximum output'!
Our panel of leading powergaming experts wanted a game more suited to
their needs. So we've created a system that does away with those
niggly aspects of building a character up through hard, sometimes
grinding slog.
Our £25 thirty individual book enchancments (stretching over six
years) will eventually supply you with all those brutally
hard-as-nails characters that you've always wanted to use!
However if you want to play these characters in the meantime or any
archetypes we dont list, you'll just have to wait.".

... lol Not that I don't think they're just in it for the money, but the WHFRP is actually kinda brutal when it comes to combat. I mean, I dislike the system...

... I have to say I disagree. I've been lucky enough to play a game of 40K roleplay (pre-inquistor, we used homebrew AD&D rules) with a mix of Wargamers and...

I suppose any 40k roleplay game will only be as successful as the back history and knowledge of the players participating. Another important factor is actually...

They are treating pirates, marines, and aliens as supplemental character types. Along, most likely, with other characters of this type and nature. These are...

... True, but they aren't compulsory archetypes. They're just alternatives to playing an Inquisitor and his or her retinue. Imperium would work just as well...
