I'm always a sucker for games taking place in the same universe and following the same rules (kinda). I was more of a Warhammer 40000 player, but then Warhammer Total War and Warhammer Vermintides came out, and I fell in love with the whole idea of playing a halberdier in Vermintides (technically Vermintides 2, the first game had no halberd, and technically, it's a shorter poleaxe, but details), and then hopping on Total War and recruit 120 of them in a single go.
Then I tried the dwarfs and I really started to love their lore. I love that, from afar, they sound ridiculous, declaring grudges against mountains, being stubborn to the point of obsession and so on, but when you get into their lore and understand their point of view, even their hatred of modern technology makes sense.
Then, one day, out of curiosity, I checked out the Warhammer RPG, and I was blasted away.
The supplements add an insane, autistic amount of details to the armies, with a dozen different knight orders (the one with red armors and two swords is a blast), but the basic game isn't about great heroes or adventurers or anything cool like in DnD or FFXIV, it's literally just everyday people that end up in bad situation and have to use their normal skills to survive it.
Can't suddenly remember a pact with a fey or a demon, can't use the power of the Voice or anything like that, no. You are just used to bullshitting your customers, so time to do the same to that cultist who'd really like to sacrifice you. Remember your used cars bullshit, and use it to save your bacon.
Or remember the way you put your back in your hits from your mining days, and do the same, but to that goblin's head.
Oh, I fucking love the RPG.
The fluff fulfill my autism, and the crunch makes it sound so very fun because it's a tabletop game where you don't really want to fight. And it sounds like the antithesis to everything else I know.
