Does anyone remember Games Workshop’s Dungeon Floor Plans series?
Reminiscent of that great series, Stephen Cranston and Simon Lloyd have designed some beautiful prints, so that your players may visualize the place where they lose all their Fate Points.
Cranston & Lloyd’s floorplans can be found in the Maps section. They are free to download, but are not to be redistributed or sold. An example of what you can do with the floorplans is below the fold.
From time to time I get emails about WFRP sites or come across them while trawling the web, but this one stands out. Kalevala Hammer is a fantastic site with a detailed, high-resolution map of Norsca, articles with rules and bestiary expansions, and an exhaustively-researched timeline culled from a broad array of Warhammer sources. In addition, it may have the most extensive WFRP-related links page I’ve ever seen.
I added it to my Resources list to the right. It’s worth checking out for the map of Norsca alone.
Last week I received an email about a WFRP name generator site. I liked it — I especially liked that you could choose between Elvish, Nordic, Orcish, German, and English-sounding names — but I wanted the names to sound more Imperial, more WFRPish. So I emailed them back with a few sites that had actual tax records from Germanic villages in the 15th century — these are the sites that I relied on for names used in Noblesse Oblige and Dead Ringer.
Amazingly, they spent the weekend coding in the new names. So, if you’re looking for a great resource to name your Orcs, Elves, and Imperials, look no further than Fantasy Names Generator.
Josef is at it again, working on an amazingly detailed reworking of his Critical Hits, including revised entries on injuries and healing. It really has to be seen to be believed, with descriptions of normal anatomy (suitable for the layman) as a basis for how badly things can go wrong, and how to fix the problem when they inevitably do.
When he’s finished, the results will be posted here, but while he’s working, I’m sure he’d appreciate any feedback you’d like to give. So head on over to his thread at the FFG forums and let him know what you think.
Things move fast in the roleplaying world. A few days ago, GW announced that the license to WFRP (and WH40k) has passed to Fantasy Flight Games. I don’t know anything about FFG, but what I’ve read seems promising.
The fact that WFRP will continue to be officially supported in any capacity is excellent news for all of us. I wish FFG the best of luck, and congratulations. I can’t wait to see what they come up with.
