Hey /tg/.
So there new Warcraft movie has revitalized my interest in the Warcraft setting and franchise, despite that I could never get into wow. (But I did enjoy Warcraft 1,2,3, and always found the setting to be interesting.)
Are there any good options you guys can think of for running a Warcraft campaign aside from the old 3.5 derivative? Perhaps something where the character abilities more closely represent the abilities / magical talents / skills the characters in the various games have?
Have you attempted it in another system? How did it go?
What would you use if you were to run a Warcraft game?
If you would use the 3.5 Warcraft, is there somewhere with classes closer to what characters can do in the various videogames/novels and less of a slight reflavoring on d&d 3.5 classes?

Tweak Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd edition to be more survivable and a bit more epic fantasy and it will be very ez to learn. Replace flavor names like Ulric's Fury with proper ones.

But it's garbage and you can't.

Tweak whfrp.
The amount of tweaking you'd need to get it to Warcraft per levels; it would be scarcely recognizable. You might as well be starting with call of Cthulhu.

You can always use the very real Warcraft RPG, which is based on the d20 system.

Ooops, disregard what I just said. But the current RPG is completely servicable in doing its job in spite of the canon being outdated. 4th Ed. more closely emulate's WoW's gameplay, but I'm not sure if there are any conversions yet.

sorry

The issue I had with it was the classes drew most of their abilities from 3.x rather than representing what the characters in the RTS or MMO or fiction could do. I didn't think the character abilities and classes were adapted d20 well.
The 3.x core mechanics are basically perfect for a Warcraft RPG: gear is half the character, crazy power curve for numbers such that 50 lowbies can't take on a single veteran.
But I'd feel like I had to redesign a ton of classes to make it work, and that would be incredibly tedious, hence my question if anyone had made some other kind of adaptation already to make it easier.
4e on the other hand plays too much like Disgaea, and feels too much like a wargame and not enough like a Tabletop RPG.

Sorry why?

Try the Log Horizon RPG
Literally made to be a tabletop RPG that emulatesa an MMORPG

Huh. Yeah that could work.
