Warhammer Online: Dark Age of Reckoning n Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy RPG?

o so its like D&D..............if not like table top then.....PC game...........board game.........?

[IBBoard]

Paper, pencils and books...like Dungeons and Dragons. No boards, no table, no PC, just classic RPG stuff. Hence why it's in Black Industries and not the main Games Workshop website.

xWildsidex seems to have never played some "real" RPG ala D&D

[IBBoard]

Yeah, I'm kinda getting that impression

[Cloak Raider]

I'm confused. So it isn't a computer game? Its just a tabletop game?
I play Warhammer and I don't have a clue what is going on.

[IBBoard]

It isn't a computer game, it isn't a tabletop game, it's an RPG, just like the old Dungeons and Dragons game from the 70s/80s.

Basically, Games Workshop used to have Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay as well as Warhammer Fantasy Battle, then WFRP dropped in to the background, then it pretty much vanished, now they've brought back WFRP (but not in official shops, it's made by one of their offshoot companies) and the Roleplay rules (i.e. non-table top and non-computer games rules) have been used to make a 40K RPG.

If anyone else is still confused, Wikipedia has an article on WFRP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_Fantasy_Roleplay

In a way, that kind of RPG is quite good. It involves far more thought and imagination and is a completely different challenge. I've played a couple of hours of one of Vampire: Masquerade (or something like that), but I just don't have the time to do much of it.
