Your Guide to the Wrath & Glory Pre-Sale
The pre-sale for Wrath & Glory: Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay is almost here! We know that you’re excited to find out all about our plans, and we are thrilled to share them with you!
First, let’s talk about a few key products. The most important one is certainly the Wrath & Glory Core Rules.
This book has over 400 pages and acts as your complete rules reference for Wrath & Glory. It includes extensive character creation options, gamemastering advice, and so much more!
The Wrath & Glory Core Rules are the perfect way to get into the game!
Wrath & Glory: Dark Tides is the first full adventure module in the Wrath & Glory line!
The ocean world of Charybdion seethes with discontent and a growing sense of danger. Charybdion’s planetary governor has gone missing, and his councilors struggle to select a suitable heir. Meanwhile, mysterious murders, nightmares, and other dangers threaten to cast this planet into anarchy and despair.
Dark Tides is an anthology of five linked adventures that bring your heroes face-to-face with the dangerous villains responsible for Charybdion’s troubles. Can your heroes confront the vile forces spreading insanity and corruption? The fate of this planet is in your characters’ hands—if they can survive what lurks beneath the dark tides.
These are two of the most important products in the pre-sale, but there’s plenty more to see! We’ll be examining more of the individual products throughout the pre-sale itself. Meanwhile, let’s take a quick look at the full list…

I really want some pictures. I'd rather not go "all-in" because that's a pretty painful price mark for a system I may or may not convince other people to try, so I hope we'll be able to buy some of that stuff separated at a later date.

What? Card decks?
No, no, no, no...
I think it's those extra cards you may or not buy like you can for D&D or Pathfinder just to make it easier to manage the game, like these:

Yeah, I'm a card whore and I can "deal" with optional cards to make things easier - but requiring extraneous items beyond a rulebook is a huge turn off for an RPG to me.

I've not gone through the whole thread so forgive me if this has already been discussed but has anyone else signed up for the free RPG day and/or have any more information beyond there will be a model to follow?
Also I'm expecting those cards will be optional extras, if not I'll be peeved.

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.
Oh my! I absolutely love those covers! The characters are so vibrant and full of color when compared to the background. Love the cybernetic aquillas too, quite a different take on the typical Imperium symbol!

I'm pretty sure they are. They'll be very helpful or pointless depending on the type of person you are. I bought the gear and spell cards for Shadowrun...hope they are a bit more helpful than those. Still nice to have little representatives of your important stuff.

What was wrong with the Shadowrun versions? That's (for this day and age) a very crunchy ruleset that you'd think would benefit from handy dandy reminder cards.
We actually agree on a lot of things. Our disagreements are overblown. Plus, I can't help it if occasionally you're wrong about things.
Anyway, I suspect that these cards are just player aids or GM aids (like the psychic cards for 40K), rather than an actual rules expansion that cannot be used without the cards (like X-Wing).
Even so, this is the first print run of this game and it's bound to be riddled with mistakes, so the idea of having cards that will be immediately outdated the second the first errata gets published makes me move away from them instantly.

I hope the prices change, because if I read this right, that $100 is for a paperback copy, with the option to upgrade to hardcover, Collectors, and Limited Editions.

While I agree that the language is poorly chosen, I think the $100 starting point includes the hardcover. The "collectors" then have the choice to upgrade to the various special faux and real leather versions. Still... $100 for a core hardback is too much to ask IMO since I don't value highly the other bits and bobs they're including in the bundle. YMMV. I'll wait for the regular book to hit the shelves and order it at a discount with free shipping.

Depends on who you ask. Some people didn't like that the gear card's focus is an image and the crunchy bits are smaller text. Some complained they didn't have all the rules/stats. The spell cards are stark and rules forward, but incomprehensible unless you know all the one letter types. I'd say the gear cards are good for beginners and if you can decipher the spell cards you probably don't need them as you probably have memorized all the stuff on the cards.
Also poker cards are kind of small to get all that would be useful on them. Now tarot sized cards...
