This is a no-brainer. You want this if you have the game. I love the rat-catcher and his "small but vicious dog".
Great suppliment for warhammer fantasy roleplay February 10, 2010

This is a great product, includes some new options for players to choose with regard to careers as well as some additional cards for different kinds of actions and some new talents for character advancement. The follower rules for the rat catcher's pet dog are implemented very well!! Plus the small sized box is perfect for organizing the cards for the game and holding dice or tokens during play.
A solid expansion for a great new game January 8, 2010

First, I must say that the packaging is first rate. The box is small, a little larger than a thick trade paperback, but it's sturdy and has a similar design to the main Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Core Set. The box is intended for use to store a player's cards, character sheets, career, etc.
There's a lot packed into this small box: a fresh pad of full color character sheets, 4 new party cards, more of the basic cardboard tokens (fatigue/stress, stance/progress track, etc.), many new cards (small and large, including another set of "basic" action cards to accommodate another player), 10 new careers, and stand-ups.
Among the new cards, you get many new actions, talents, and ability cards to support the new careers. There are also new condition cards for new conditions like "intoxicated". You also get 6 new wound cards. There's a career-sized card for the Ratcatcher's Small But Vicious Dog along with some "trick" talent cards which can be slotted to the dog's card. Two new item cards are included: Gromril Armour for ironbreakers, and a Greatsword of Hoeth for sword masters.
Many of the new careers are as interesting as the best offerings from the core set. Here's the list of new careers you get: Bailiff, Bounty Hunter, Dockhand, Ironbreaker, Pit Fighter, Ratcatcher, Scribe, Smuggler, Sword Master, and Wardancer.
The new party cards are: Glory Hounds, Defiant Scoundrels, Diplomatic Entourage, and Outhbound.
The Amazon price is reasonable, but the MSRP on this item is a bit steep. For the MSRP, I would have appreciated some extra dice. That's really my only complaint.
 A good buy, but no Halflings December 20, 2009

TLDR version : A good buy for a WFRP3 fan, but this product isn't going to change the minds of those who are not drinking the kool-aid.
Something that RPG buyers need to remember with WFRP3 is that you are not buying a book. So do not compare it to a 30 dollar RPG book, because if you are counting words/mechanics, the WFRP3 supplement will lose. You will also gain, at minimum, two insanity effects (see what I did there?.)
That being said, here are my impressions of the product.
Good :
* Interesting careers, with new mechanics for some. For example, the swordmaster and ironbreaker have career specific items that they come with. Like the trappings of old. Also, the rat catcher has a very compelling mechanic with the small but vicious dog. Should have they been included in the original set? Sure. But not everything is going to fit in one release, either.
* Action cards. There are some really neat new cards, esp. for melee oriented careers, along with more intelligence based ones. In addition, there are more duplicates of commonly used cards.
* The rest of the cards. All good stuff as I can tell. Nothing seems amazingly under/over powered.
Bad :
* No Halflings. Bummer. Perhaps FFG cannot find a way to make them mechanically viable.
* I personally do not care for more cardboard chits and the like. I would have preferred more cards. Or Hobbits.
* Not really a bad, but I would like to have some kind of clue what will appear in the future, as far as upcoming WFRP3 releases go.
Bottom line : You should get this if you like what WFRP3 has to offer. If you are having difficulty appreciating what WFRP3 is and expect a big book, then stay away.
 Good Expansion but a bit thin for the msrp December 19, 2009

Ok picked this up when I bought the core box set. Not a bad supplement but for the msrp of $30 I would feel a bit ripped off for what you get in the box. It includes 10 new careers including a Dwarven Ironbreaker, High Elf Swordmaster, Wood Elf Wardancer, Bounty Hunter, Rat Catcher amoung others. It also includes new action, wound, talent cards etc... all usful and all but for $30 it all seems a bit underwhelming. On the other hand I do like the new careers and options so for me it was a worthwhile buy. At 30% on Amazon however it seems like a more reasonable purchuse.
