I wanted to spend a bit of time as a player in WFRP because I talk a good game about it but have never actually seen it from a players perspective - which I think is bad for any DM. I'm the only one who really wants to DM the game out of all my groups, because it requires some VTT set up for...

Rather than answering what the game should be, I'd answer your questions with a question... ... Why do you play the game? What do you actually want to get out of it?

If you want to simplify just use Group Advantage. We have one player who tracks it for the group. There’s only one number to remember and it takes the pressure off me.

It’s an interesting idea. I actually thought about converting it to Imperium Maladictum but there are so many beautiful handouts, NPC portraits and location details it seems a shame to lose all that stuff. My Skull and Shackles campaign set in Lustria is going really well and fits WFRP...

I think I’ve mentioned I’m converting several D&D adventures to WFRP 4e for a mash up heist campaign. I’ll have to create a thread with some monster conversions Im doing. I think the right kind of D&D adventure converts really well.

I’ve messed up there. I meant Imperial zoo. Old World Bestiary is the 2e equivalent of Imperial Zoo.

Bonuses to but generally come from outnumbering for melee; range distance for ranger; and talents for everything. The range and outnumbering ones are pretty darn chunky. Quite a few talents will give bonuses to a specific type of test but it really is on the player to remember these. In...

Or Generation Sex as The Divine Comedy would call us.

Yeah the Enemy Within part was always about teaching the rules and getting the players to Bogenhafen by hook or by crook. You definitely need buy in from the players. Even more so in Death on the Reik that has even more travelling… but also some really cool elements. Wittgendorf onwards is...

Plenty of Gen Z love retro clothes and play vinyl records. Owning the older is a way of asserting yourself in a world dominated by people 20-40 years older than you.

Group advantage is a game changer! If you’ve played Silver Tower, Ulfenkarn or Blackstone Fortress board games then the shared pool will be a recognizable thing. I find it makes combat very tactical - for me as DM as well as the players. How have you found Enemy in Shadows? I’ve ran it four...

Okay, so in my opinion combat is amazing and much better than 2e for a couple of reasons. In the interest of fairness I’ll give some counter arguments. In 2e I have to pass an attack roll, then the opponent may well parry or dodge, then I have to roll damage and penetrate armour and toughness...

The Silver Order (The Holy Order of the Templars of Sigmar) Not every sorcerer joined the colleges. Some had no interest in going to war for the Empire and others wished to actively hasten its destruction. Others had little motivation to give up old ways and fight for people who had persecuted...

Someone has to be on the cover. It’s a pretty picture. Why not have someone on it we recognize. I can’t believe folks are so jaded that they can’t bear to see something familiar. It goes back to the tyranny of novelty I’ve mentioned a few times now. The constant drive to be original and new...

Love the cover. Hits all the spots I’m looking for. Amazes me what people find to moan about.

You’re right and I don’t think describing layouts and facts about a place is pre-scripting. You’re probably good at making that seem dynamic and responsive and making decisions about what would happen based on those descriptions. So don’t need any extra text. For those that think pre-scripting...

The Amethyst Academy (The Amethyst College) One of the Five Factions in Dungeons of Drakenheim is the Amethyst Academy and the Old World conveniently holds an Amethyst College of Magic. The Colleges of Magic were founded by Magnus of Nuln (later Magnus the Pious) at the conclusion of the Great...

Location and Timeline In the official timeline the City of Mordheim was struck by a twin tailed comet at midnight at the start of the year 2,000. A play on the Y2K fears that were around when the first box was released in 1999. Unfortunately it was also razed to the ground on the orders of the...
