ok, this thing has been out for a while now. I looked into the TWG archives and couldn't find a review of it. Has TWG reviewed this product or is there still nothing? I would really like to know something about it.

I've never bothered to try and get it. I'm very wary of any rpg based on a video game.

A friend of mine has the 2 core books for it. He likes it, but he, uh, is a videogamer. He regards RPGs as slightly different videogames at times. Thus, i'd have to take a look myself to tell you what they are like.

I will say, however, that the art isn't that bad.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I was negotiating with WW to get this back in August when I got laid off, and in the confusion never got back with them. I'll jump on it again and see what I can do.

I don't play it, but I DO own all three main warcraft books and I enjoy it a lot.  Instead of good vs. evil or humans and their ilk vs. orcs, it has more of a barbarians vs. civilized lands type of flavor.  Each culture is both good and evil in it's views, depending on which side of the fence you are on.  I will come out and say that I am not a video game person and don't know a thing about the Warcraft console game, but the books are very well put together, have an interesting concept and world background, and are just incredible to look at from an artistic perspective.  If you like cinematic sword and sorcery and find your daily dose of fantasy comes from Conan and the Grey Mouser rather than Frodo and Elric, this might be a good game to check out.
