To be honest I've never played Warhammer, but the idea of a looking at a fantasy world that has evolved from its "medievel" time setting seems very interesting. Ive always wondered what part technology might play in a universe where sorcery has most of the answers.
It seems that the wielders of magic would try to suppress technology to keep their craft valuable while scientist would be constantly proving the world operates on the concepts of physics and that wonderous things are available to anyone with a good head on their shoulders. And then there would be those in-between.
Also throw in the different types humans and demi-humans and you could have something fairly different.
On it being simple, Draco is not really kiddy reading. I think a lot of younger readers might even find it a bit of a pain (I was kinda expecting it to be as you thought Thoran). Though I do agree. When I read most D&D stuff now I find it a bit lacking, though it can still be entertaining. I really picked Draco because it is a series and that leaves room for a story to actually go somewhere. If it were just a stand alone novel I wouldn't even bother.
All in all Draco isn't a wash. I just find it a bit on the slow side. It may actually pick up, but right now I'm still waiting for it to kick into gear.
Just my 2.
