BluesPixie Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hi everyone. I emailed c7 today and was reassured that news regarding developt of the RPG would be out by the end of the year, after whf 4 drops fully. I suspect very little dev has been done so far. I'm interested to hear what everyone's hopes and thoughts are for this new system. Personally I can't wait, I like to play my wargames with heavily RPG influenced elements anyway, and look forward to blending both worlds. I would like to see the game setting tiered in power (like ffg and star wars), with the starter set dealing with gritty low level PCs, and later sets introducing more far out dracoth riding immortals etc. Thoughts?

michu Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I can't wait! I already have many ideas for adventures (I'll try to post them on this forum). Sheer vastness of the Mortal Realms means we can let our imagination run wild. I hope that core book will let us create adventure parties with PCs of different Grand Alliances, e.g. mercenary band consisting of Fyreslayer, Gutbuster and Ghoul (I'm sorry, bounty hunter from noble kingdom). I also hope for some supplements in the style of old Realm of Chaos books - AoS is a perfect place for Chaos warbands consisting of three-leged and horned mutants.

BobbyB Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Yeah not sure if I'll ever get to play it but really keen to get my hands on it. But I've kind of given up waiting, when it comes it comes, wfrp is obviously pretty delayed and I get the impression this hasn't even been started in earnest yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 WFRP is already finished so they can get back to working on AoS RPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccentricCircle Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Very much looking forward to this. I've not see the new WFRP yet, so don't know what to expect, but cubicle seven make very good products, I love their Lord of the Rings books. I'm far more of an RPG player than a Wargamer, so will be very keen to try this out. There is a lot of untapped potential in the mortal realms, so it will be good to see it developed through an actual RPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnelian Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I doubt I'll ever play it but will enjoy reading it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesPixie Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 The line in the response email concerning AoS RPG was "Ah, Age of Sigmar......hopefully there will be news by the end of the year - once we've got Fourth Edition sorted and caught our breath! " So yeaaah... pretty sure they will be starting from scratch, end of 2019, if we are lucky. Until then I might try a few test games in the setting using Fate Accelerated, good for high octane one shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmanphill Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I'm of course excited but in all reality I won't get to play it. It's hard enough to get a standard game of AoS here nevermind a roleplaying session. I'll read it for the background I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it sounds like you'll have an easier time playing the RPG: roll20 means you can join players all over the world, anytime, for free! Hugely popular these days! ?

EccentricCircle Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I can recommend Roll20, it is a really good means of staying in touch with scattered gaming groups. I've not tried playing actual warhammer using it, but I actually don't see why it wouldn't work. It is designed for RPGs, so would be a good tool for playing either WFRP or the AoS game when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingwalnut Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I can't wait. No, literally, I can't wait. Planning a Pathfinder game in the Mortal Realms now. Will definitely look into the official AoS book when it comes out, but like others have said, until I hear otherwise it is...gonna be a while.

MacDuff Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Creating an RPG for AOS is going to be a tall order, and I could see it being split up over several books. Now that 2.0 is out, some of the Realms have exploded with locations, thanks to the maps and new history. Toss in an explosion of magic, including for each Realm, and all kinds of new artifacts, with more incoming from GHB18 and each new Battletome, and that's even before you dig into the lives of common folk, an ever-expanding bestiary of mentioned exotic critters, and several Realms that so far are only a page deep in 2.0. That's why I could see several books, with the undeveloped Realms coming much later as GW reveals more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
