Very good start, Splat, I think you've got the summary of the basics there. What an honour to have a separate section for W@RF.
Yeah, all new RPers are welcome at the thread!
I've been browsing through the old RPG section in the Archives. I must say, the gameplay has changed a lot. I don't know if that's true or not, but some of the rules came from the time when I started v.1 of W@RF (like the use of 'Character's Thoughts' and making detailed character profiles). The stats also died out, though there were a few efforts to restore the stat system.
