The Dying of the Light (WFRP/Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play)

Gripping Adventure - loses coherency in the last bit...
I Gm for two different gaming groups and have run this with both now (and played it once as a player - my introduction into WFRP). Playing the adventure, I thought it was exciting and intriguing - things are not handed to players, and they really have to work to put the pieces together. However, my GM modified the adventure a fair amount (I realized once I started to run it myself), and I have ...

An RPG in the B-R-O-A-D-E-S-T sense of the word...but still fun.
Actually, not as much an RPG as a party game, this book is written "in character," as if the good Baron is relating the rules to you. The game goes thusly: you and your colleagues assume the roles of Munchausen-esque characters. You challenge each other to spin brief tall-tales of your exploits, (e.g., "Tell me, Contessa, of the time you managed to fight off an enraged bear with naught ...

The High Point of an Amazing Campaign
When it was first released in the 80s, The Enemy Within campaign was an amazing accomplishment in what was a "hack 'n' slash" era of RPGs. It boasted fully-developed non-player characters (NPCs), political intrigue, moral dilemmas, and the chance for players to expand their roles beyond the requisite magical armor and damage bonuses. Power Behind the Throne was (and is) the high point of ...

GM Screen and Reference Pack

The GM screen is seriously indispensible for GMs for WFRP
The WFRP GM screen is indispensible for GM's in WFRP. It helps very much to be able not to review the rulebook at many instances, and to use the rulebook not for quick reference, but to look up specific instances of rules. In addition, the added crit tables are very useful, especially in unlikely combat situations that are brought up using the standard combat crit tables.

Apocrypha Now (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay/WFRP) (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay)

Hogshead Publishing, Ltd., 1995

A useful collection of interesting articles for WFRP
This book is mostly a collection of previously published material either from Games Workshop's out of print supplements or White Dwarf magazine. If you have both the Restless Dead and Warhammer Companion supplements, you will probably find that most of material here is lifted from the two books. For the new converts to the game, the contents are interesting and the varied mix of articles (from ...

Hogshead Publishing, Ltd., 1999

Great Book!
The book describes the city, her quarters, habitants, history, gods, dangers and "stars" in a soberb way. The adventure with happens in a market chash is very good too. The ONLY drawback of the book in my oppinion are the pictures who are inferior to Warhammer FRP standards. Anyway the book surely worth the price.

Not for kids, and not for playing
First off, let me make it clear if you haven't figured it out yet - this game ain't for kids. Barring that, this is a hysterical book, if you're a gamer and have the right mindset. If you even think you'll be offended by it, you will be. However, if you can look at yourself and laugh, and realize the whole point of it, you'll be surprised both by the humor involved and the thinking that ...

Challenger for Power Behind the Throne!
This adventure is not recommended for players who like only hack and slash. SOB is lighter version of Power behind the throne. Player characters are drawn to Bögenhafen by a mistake. There they are faced by a great threat of Chaos. One of the very high persons in Bögenhafen is corrupted and players are to find out who it is. Guilty one is found out quite easily, but problem is: How to find ...
