My players when I mixed Iron Kingdoms and Eberron in 3.5. I didn't have to houserule too much, and everyone loved their characters and abilities. I STILL TO THIS DAY have a friend who begs to play a fell caller again. I guess I'm special I made that 3.5 stuff work for me.

It's an idea that I had to wrap my head around too when I started playing Savage Worlds, but one thing I've found is that it actually adapts itself really well to any other combat mapping system you want to use. Hex/Square maps are pretty simple, and for cinematic combat you just need to keep in mind what the scale is.

I have been waiting years for this!

I'm not sure interested in the game, but I really liked this video. It's neat to see RPG companies use social networking, multimedia, etc., to advertise their products. - John

1)No one implies you do. 2)Good for you! 3)Thank you very much, am not native english speaker. 4)IK always had a lot of interresting enemies to face, some being huge and overpowered, others comming at you like swarms of tiny critters (the green hungry furrballs that is), everyone having their strong and weak points, whole art of combat in Warmachine was to outsmar, outmaneuver your enemies, hitting him where it hurts most. This kind of gameplay demands to use ye'head and thats good! :)

Dang I wish we had gotten that final book.

[DamonBlackpool]

I will buy all the books. Day One. No exception. I missed out on the original and will not let this one slip by.

[BigIrishGod]

Sounds good guys, can't wait to see what you have come up with.

Warmahordes+RPG=No more sunlight for me and my mates.

AWWWW YEEEEAAAH

[BrokenSplinter]

I don't play alot of RPGs as much as I want to, This feels like might be easy to get into with me knowing how to play Warmachine already. I await it's arrival

[YuriPRIMErpg]

Also Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is a great example where you can have narrative based gameplay, no real need for wargame conventions, but still you use same principles. You don't use battlemaps to playout complexity of battle, but you need system that apreciates taking care of details of characters choices more than fixed character stats. Which d20 failed to do.

Your party travel along when you suddenly faced with a Colossal. You Die, and you, you too, and crushes you last.... FUN? :P

@thevampiredio

if the 1st edition is a base...no, Warjacks in general are NPC your fight, or have as a NPC companion, a very expensive companion.

[drewvolker]

@TheMjstech Chances are you're going to be able to play a full blown warcaster with a heavy jack eventually.

[steampoweredtv]

I can't wait. I It will be a great way to get my non-wargamer friends to experience the setting.

[MrReki]

Can you guys do some more in-depth videos on the game mechanics and contents of each book?

[Crosis]

@Lordhat Do you mean the Witchfire Trilogy, Locked and Loaded, or one of the five other books?:->

[OusanYmon]

See, now I'm glad I decided to go with Cryx as my faction. I won't have to worry about picking up any more models for use as enemies (or I have a completely viable excuse to buy more minis! Hahahaahaha!)

[sillyrabbit]

wow looks awesome but got rather nervous when he mentioned "...and then the fourth book will contain..." My bookshelf can't support many more systems but this one does look amazing.

[PsionNovastar]

And yet Starship Troopers was originally a book published in the 1950's, Heinlein's first book (and arguably his only shitty one, ) where the mobile infantry boys ARE ESSENTIALLY the same OP supermen you just described (and the d20 game was outright BILLED as being faithful to the books, not the campy ass movies by the way.) Second... command? positions? Those are war game conventions, not role-play conventions. If PP is smart, you're not going to see most of those in this edition either.
