Re: WFRP - favourite edition?
90s? Probably 1st edition.
1986 (1st edition)
2005 (2nd edition)
2009 (3rd edition [Fantasy Flight Games Version])
Warhammer Quest was an expandable board game, the "DM" built the board based on a series of quests pre-written in a book. It was like a simplified dungeon crawler, and the characters leveled-up using a custom set of cards.
1st was neat. don't get me wrong. When I first got my hands on it, I loved it.
2nd, rewrote magic. Made some cleaner divisions amongst the jobs (added a few). And really fleshed-out some of the bad guys (namely the Skaven.)
It's like comparing AD&D 2nd, to AD&D + SKills and Powers. Without the latter.. you're saying, "hey this is neat." With the second, you're saying, "hey, this feels complete."
