There are various reviews up on YT, but this is the one I watched. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BchUHgtVY3E As a WFRP completist, I'm getting this anyway. Regardless of era, regardless of rules, I just see this as another resource for WFRP of any edition. The true test of any ruleset is actual pl...

Thanks for doing this. It's such a time capsule into the 90s, so much nostalgia. My pleasure, I'm very happy to do it. I wasn't involved with Warpstone until it was well-established, but I remain immensely proud of having become part of the team. I still think Warpstone is one of the most exciting ...

Issue Six The cover illo is by Steve Punter and is re-used from last issue’s mummy scenario, but is worthy of being a cover illo. The subtitle this issue, I notice, is ‘Reports from the heart of corruption’ (with the ‘the’ removed). But actually, looking back it was issue three which was changed fir...

I've neglected this a bit, so I thought I'd catch up... Issue Five The spring 1997 issue format stays the same, with the same sort of cover in the same layout, the cover illo is of an armoured fantasy warrior, perhaps a Chaos Marauder, on an armoured horse, by Stephen Jones. And the quote is, ‘We ow...

Issue Number four, Winter 1996/97 This is the ‘Horror and Supernatural Special.’ and has the quote, ‘Listen to the children of the night, what music they make.’ which is from the 1931 Dracula movie. The cover has an Ulrican style warrior, with a big hammer, fighting four zombies in front of a precip...

Issue Three The third issue is A4 size, with a stiffer card cover, in white, and now 32 stapled pages. It suddenly looks much more professional. The logo is the same (but bigger) but doesn’t suffer from the pixelation of the earlier issues, and it has the same sub titles. The cover art, by Steven Pu...

I have all the Warpstones except the first 4 issues. It’s interesting finally getting a peek at what I’ve been missing for the past few decades. I'm just missing one and two. I had a couple of others missing until last year. I'm using the other Gideon's read-through to motive my own reread. I've be...

(I have nothing to comment, but I read with interest. Thank you very much.) Thanks for replying. I'll keep going! Issue Two This is dated the Summer of 1996. The same Warpstone graphic is used, and it is actually quite pixelated. It still says For Warhammer RPG and Reports from the heart of the cor...

So, quite a lot of views, but no comments.

Do I continue with this, or not? Is there any interest?

Robin

So, over on RPGnet, the other Gideon (not the one behind the brilliant Awesome Lies blog) is currently posting a read through of Warpstone from issue one onwards. He's posting it bit by bit as he reads sections of each issue, but I've got his permission to assemble the bits and post them here. The r...

Glad folks are liking the suggestions. Might want to do some play testing for optimisation it, though. You could make it really unpleasant if the attacker got the Very Easy +60% and the surprised defender got the Very Hard -30% to their rolls. Ideally, you'd keep it as simple as possible, but specif...

You could either:

1) Still make the opposed roll, but any success on the part of the surprised character is treated as a fail, albeit with zero success levels for the attacker.

2) Make it Very Easy (+60%) for the attacker, perhaps?

Additionally, a very different version of gnomes for WFRP was created by Green Ronin in their tips for incorporating Freeport into the Old World: https://greenronin.com/freeport/2007/11/14/grim_and_perilous_freeport/ I've never seen this before - thanks for posting. I've long considered Freeport my...

There was a Gnome themed issue of Warpstone (semi-official) that I think was during the 2nd ed' period. It wasn't pro-Gnome if I recall correctly. I wrote an article called 'Shelter from the Storm', which appeared in Warpstone 30. It was very pro-Gnome, though it was mostly concerned with why Gnome...

I started writing this back in the Warpstone days. After Warpstone passed into the Aethyr I couldn't find the motivation to finish it, but happily Dave Allen and C7 thought it might make a good Geheimnisnacht scenario... and here we are. Just wanted to say that's awesome they did that. It was great...

I was originally thinking that maybe straight after the Horned Rat with a slight juggling of the timing of Heinrich's intervention. Partly because it's a bit non-stopping train from the mid point of The Horned Rat to the end of Empire in Ruins but also because having a few more scenarios that can b...

I suppose I should warn of very minor spoilers... I picked it up yesterday and it looks nice from scanning over it. I noticed it's played out Sylvania, but do you think adapting it to drop into TEW is easy? That's a fair question. As written, Spider Holt is on the Stirland-Ostermark border - I imagi...

Thank-you! I hope you enjoy reading it. If you have any questions afterwards, please ask.

Utterly shameless promotion time here I'm afraid, but C7 has just released my latest scenario, Feast of Blood , with a wonderfully gruesome cover! https://www.cubicle7games.com/product/warhammer-fantasy-roleplay-feast-of-blood/ https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/305324/WFRP-Feast-of-Blood?src=fp_u...

The correct plural of dwarf (the regular continuation of Old English dweorg) is dwarrows (from dweorgas), later levelled down to "dwarfs" (probably under the influence of the French and Latin accusative plurals, which are commonly in -s ). The latter, "dwarfs", is the plural use...
