Just pointing out the only reason Humans are so widespread in the Empire is because Dwarves mostly stay in their mountain cities, Halflings are a minor race that latch onto human populations, and Elves are big isolationists.

Possible explanation to 19:58:

Rule book, page 234: "Chaos
spells are those practiced by those who’ve lost their souls to Chaos."

So in my opinion chaos spells doesnt give any corruption points, because they are used only by people, who already have fallen to chaos, they are corrupted 100%. They are chaos controlled npc-s, or pc-s who just lost to chaos, and they can cast chaos spells only because of this. I think pc-s which are not fallen to chaos and are still controlled by the players cant use them. So a player's character cannot use chaos spells until not fallen to chaos and slipped out of players controll by it (becoming a chaos controlled npc).

Supplement:

Rule book, Page 184:
"Corruption Limits
A soul can only withstand so much corruption before it
collapses upon itself, leaving a mutated, gibbering mess. Should you survive long enough to gain more mutations than your Toughness Bonus, or more mental corruptions than your Willpower Bonus, you have fallen to Chaos, your soul completely lost to the uncaring Chaos Gods. At this point, it’s time to create a new character. Your current one is now damned, becoming an NPC controlled by the GM, meaning you may well see the wretched creature again…"

Man I LOVE how in depth you get on these reviews!! So informative!

[ElwoodShort]

This is going to be a perfect way to introduce my players to the system, you have done a great job of explains the major mechanics in sufficient detail, and summarised stuff such as religion and magic really well. Any new player watching this should have a good idea of how things work, and what options are available to them. [cubicle 7 are doing a good job producing support material for this as well, great quality adventure modules and campaign settings, some of it available free as downloads] WFRP was always my favourite fantasy game, great to see a revitalised edition, that truly captures the spirit of the original, whilst streamlining some of the mechanics.

.... Eh, it's not that humans have won out in the setting, it's that the core setting takes place in the human lands

Nonhumans are the absolute majority in other parts of the world

[dnaseb]

None-humans are rare in the setting because you play in the Empire who is a human nation. And the none-humans are travelers from distant lands. Warhammer isnt like DnD, there is no melting pot of races, they all live in seperate kingdoms, often slaying without mercy if the others try to traspass (wood-elves).

You killed it again, your video's make me want to play this game, wield your power wisely sir.

Great overview of the game. Moo Man created a sanctioned module for Foundry VTT, so he is to be commended. I love this game, although it is crunchy compared to some simpler RPGs. Like you, I enjoy the careers - they offer a unique take and open up new areas for roleplay. Lastly, a kind word for Cubicle 7 - I'm impressed with their commitment to the players. I had to contact them a couple of times and they have always been extremely thoughtful and helpful. I highly recommend the game and setting.

Great vid! I enjoy how detailed you are with these reviews. Thanks!

[darvidoba]

Great Video, but you missed the armour in the traits of the rat ogre :D. Dying is also likely because of bleeding or poison.

[wylde_hunter]

One of my favourite roleplaying games of all time. The 4E combat is a bit clunky. I love playing characters such as Witchhunters and ratcatchers! The scenarios are well-written too.

[Christophecj]

Probably the best RPG review and description I've ever watched on Youtube! I will defo use it to intrduce the game mechanics to my players. Thanks and congrats!

[babissarris]

Amazing videos!!!! Thank you very much! I haven t seen any other RPG reviews that are so exciting! Your channel deserves to grow! And it will!! Wish you the best!

[jameswight]

Fantastic review! Thanks.
That combat system sounds like it would take a while to properly get the hang of at the table!

[dzable]

Any chance you plan to do a Zweihander video? I literally cannot find a Zweihander overview video that is close to the quality of your videos.

[Ptaku]

so, so much crunch, it's unbelievable

[Adamon]

this is so great, thank you for the work you put into it. will start as a GM for the first time in this setting and you helped me a lot to understand the system.

[CesarIsaacPerez]

Cool video. I'm really interested in playing but decided on ordering the started set first.

[antilogic]

This is a tremendously informative video, thank you!

[markbrantingham]

Great review! Very helpful and well done video. Informative, concise and detailed.
