Or maybe what I mean is the wait between core book and starter set. I would love to buy a preorder bundle that includes both because I intend to get EVERYTHING for this game but I'll need a good starter set to get my group of pure D&D players into it. We'll be talking about the starter set more soon, but for now it will follow a similar line to WFRP: an adventure book, a region/city guide, premade characters, handouts etc. We're hoping to launch it very soon after the release of the corebook 1 hour ago, HorticulusTGA said: Oh, yeah, then I hope so !

Similar to the maps in some of your other RPGs The map will be highly detailed and will allow you to zoom in to see these kinds of elements yes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Ogor Mercenaries, at least in Fantasy, were known for fighting alongside other factions as mercenaries. I would love to see an official army of this guys being part of the Order Grand Alliance. Same with the old Tomb Kings.

It's perfect. I'm sorry if I sounded too negative above, I just WANT IT ALL. Don't worry, I'll wait and gladly get 8 Realms supplements, if they are as good as your WFRP 4th books (between what you showed us of your work so far, and the implications of @JReynolds, David Guymer, Clint L Werner and Johan Grenier, I'm sure it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I know (and believe me I love ogres, I even played one in a campaign a long while back) but regardless I wouldn't expect to see them here. Ogres as mercenaries alongside more civilized races is more an Old World thing as you say. I'm not even sure it's still a canon thing in AOS - they seem to have made ogres even dumber and more savage in AOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if indeed, as far as we can tell, Ogors are not in the Mercenary business any more (because Ghur-savages-Gorkamorka) at least in their majority (notably, some Beastclaw Riders worked for Archaon, but that's not reflected in the rules), AOS is wide enough a setting to still have Maneaters equivalents. Also, in a recent (c. AOS2) short stories, there was a city with ORRUK MERCHANTS. So Maneaters are still totally possible in the lare scope of the Mortal Realms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah as said above the setting have room for such combinaison and its great, but in terms of rules it kinda clash with the grand alliance system (like the Archaon serving Beastclaw Raiders I mentioned). But which book does the Freeguild Ogors come from, I don't remember ? One of those Mannfred Realmgates Wars stories ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to play an Ogor mercenary, why not ask your GM. It shouldn't be too difficult to adapt the system to suit. That's the beauty of role-playing - anything is possible ( especially in 9 almost infinite Realms ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, one of my most memorable role-playing experiences was playing Call of Cthuhlu which did involve going to another realm for the Grand Finale and did end up with my character going horribly insane and being deliberately left there for all eternity by the rest of the party.

JPjr Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) I think post-'Plague Garden' there are now enterprising Azyrite tour operators organising weekend city breaks to the Realm of Chaos. You might need to check your insurance coverage but it's certainly not a guaranteed one-way trip...

I just hope the people of the Mortal Realms doesn't try to regularly and casually enter the Realm of Chaos ... stories like Gardus' should remain exceptional to mark the heroism and dangerousness of such a deed. But as a GM I'd love to try to world-build a non Euclidian space to explore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think role-playing in the Realm of Chaos is best left for the individual GM to decide rather than having a game supplement, as that would, again paradoxically, only restrict the imagination. I would say go for it! (You only have your sanity to lose ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maneaters are specifically stated to be the Mercenary Ogor faction. I'm also interested to know where the current, AOS2-updated fluff, is about the Flamescar Plateau. In AOS1 Firestorm, the whole plateau belongs to the Agloraxi magocracy. In AOS2 Core Book, the region is fragmented and only the fallen (literally) city of Ahramentia is said to be Aglorxian territory. And yeah about Ogors, I was talking in terms of rules. There is currently no rules to represent ORDER Maneaters, even if they are there in the fluff. The point being that the RPG will (at first) only allows for ORDER characters...

But in Firestorm all the locations belonged to that long-dead empire. In the Core Book (and other post AOS2 fictions, including the Malign Portents campaigns IIRC) its different. But that fluff was quite cool so I'd like to know what its the current situation, I hope the RPG answers that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
