Re: Brainstorming how to adapt a one-shot.

The short question is how to adapt the concept of Walkie Talkies and/or a radio into WFRP? Off the top of my head, blowing a horn could be an effective way to send very simple messages, e.g. "Danger!", "Ambush!", "Help!", "Retreat!", over distances of hundred...

Re: Informations Rev. Garret Lepper

If I were you, I would contact John Foody. Perhaps he still has G. Lepper's email address. In the remote past both must have collaborated extensively as G. Lepper used to publish in "Warpstone".

A Gimmick of Cubicle 7

In May 2018 I pre-ordered the Collector's Limited Edition WFRP4 Rulebook. The release of the PDF version was scheduled for the following month but a delay occurred. Therefore, in July 2018 I received, as an apology, an e-mail, signed by CEO, from the Cubicle 7 account with "a 25% off coupon for...

Re: [Help Needed] Ritual Magic - lore of Metal (WFRP2)

Orin J.'s suggestion is a good one. It circumvents another serious problem: merging two winds of magic. Your character is a wizard who has mastered the lore of metal and can channel the wind of metal*. The original idea, as I see it, is to turn his paralysed upper limb into a golden exhibit and then...

Re: What is the right of eagrel?

Many thanks for your exhaustive reply. Yes, you are right: Tim Eccles mentioned about "eagrel" in his regular column in Warpstone. My memory failed me and I forgot about it. My problem with all these explanations is that they do not bring me nearer to the understanding of "the right o...

What is the right of eagrel?

Does anybody know what the right of eagrel is? I came across this term in Tim Eccles' superb "All Quiet in Kislev": However the Baron died last year, and was succeeded by Heinrich von Weide, a minor third son from somewhere in the Ostland border marches. At the same time, it is readily adm...

Re: What and where is Zaiyon?

I was fairly sure it was a pun on Zion (assuming I'd read the script correctly). Yes, the script reads "Zaiyon". However, if we assume it reads "Saigon" (which is unlikely, though) we get another interesting pun. This one would refer to, depending on the perspective, either The ...

Magic and Alignment

The issue I would like to discuss is related strictly to the first edition in its primal pre-Hogshead era. So, please, no Colour Magic, no Tzeentch's Curse, no Corruption rules, etc. On p. 138 the first-edition rulebook reads: The study and practice of the unspeakable art of Demonology and Necromanc...

Re: Sillyhammer

All good drama/action/thrillers make good use of lighter elements to help relieve tension before building it back up, good writers do the same thing. One of the things that makes Warhammer so delightful is that it includes those bits of whimsy and doesn't take itself too seriously. What are some th...

Re: Solutions to Whiffing

"if both combatants have WS less than 55%, double both ratings". Three doubts. 1) Your rule can be interpreted in two ways: either WS of each combatant must be less than 55% or the sum of WS of both combatants must be less than 55%. The example makes it clear, though. 2) If you double WS ...

I agree about Kislev even back on the day when I used it a bit I wasn't happy with it. SRiK felt out of place.The TEW companion is a good resource and seems to help smooth out the edges a bit. I you don't like "Something Rotten in Kislev", you have a very good alternative: you can either ...

Re: Minor deities or local forms of major deities?

But my main question is that when these guys start up all manner of classical cults and build Greco-Roman/Classical Tilean-ish temples, which they don't really know much about when it comes ot it, is it likely given the general way religion works in the Old World that these are brought in as minor ...
