Title says it all.

I can get a set for about $20-30 cheaper than the FLGS could likely sell it but I'm wondering if its worth it and does it play well? I dont even play RPGs often and I'm stuck a ways from home but is it smooth and easy to explain and teach? What are the pro's and cons of the system?

First question is "Which Edition of WRFP?"

There's the 2nd edition by Black Industries (mostly) that's in standard RPG book format.

Then there's the newer 3rd edition box 'rpg' by Fantasy Flight Games.

Knowing which one you're looking at will help us provide you with suitable answers.

I went out and did some Homework on this and found these

and from D20's own Rodney Thompson (Surprisingly)

Not sure on this one... I think the money will stay in my pocket. If I was back in an enviroment where I have regular RPG play opportunities I'd maybe err on the other side.

I think I am going to stay with 2nd ed for now. Most of the books can be found fairly cheaply now, and some of the ones that are rarer and more expensive can be found in .pdf format.
