Re: Is Imperial polytheism realistic?
Well, all societies -including non-genocidal ones- have or had cases of approved or tolerated murders... Being institutional murdering (such as capital punishment, war), legal murdering (such as feuds, gladiators or murder of a public enemy) or cases of not legal but socially approved murdering (cri...

Re: Is Imperial polytheism realistic?
Two points I had in mind, but never took the time to share: khaine's cult is forbidden because the cult murders people as part of their faith. it's not a religious position it's literally most of the are murderers and considered incitement to violence. knowing what an edgelord khaine is he probably ...

Re: Middenheim: City of the White Wolf
So C7 plans a companion per part of TEW, altogether 5 companions. In Addition they plan a source book for Middenheim and Altdorf, each. Correct? That's correct: there will be Middenheim: City of the White Wolf to complete the Power Behind the Throne Companion (which focus on Middenland, not Middenh...

Re: Is Imperial polytheism realistic?
that's just it, in fantasy the gods aren't magical in their powers . it's been fairly consistent throughout fantasy's history that miricles are not operating the same way magical matter does and instead are using a "divine" power source unrelated to the magic as we know it, diffused from ...

Re: Is Imperial polytheism realistic?
Warp is a full synonymous to Magic (magic is the vernacular word, warp is the scientific word) and entity is a close synonymous to being. So the two first categories designate the same beings or the same entities... The Universe is divided in two distinct and normally hermetically separated plans: t...

Re: Is Imperial polytheism realistic?
This subject was once well worked by a Warhammer fanatic : Hachman who long ago held the Warhammer Heroes forum... The original authors, when they designed WFRP's gods, inspired themselves from Greek polytheism, mainly, and a bit from Roman, Germanic, Celtic polytheism... They obviously also took in...

Re: Minor deities or local forms of major deities?
Both is common, but it seems to also be a matter of perspective. The major cults often say lesser deities are aspects of their major deities. The minor cults at times accept this, but at times see it as heresy. I somehow remember in the old Realm of Chaos it is more or less stated that all deities ...

Re: Beyond The Enemy Within campaign, upcoming releases
As they'll publish a new edition of Middenheim: City of the White Wolf to go with Power Behind the Throne and an original sourcebook on Altdorf to go with Empire in Ruins , it wouldn't surprise me to get a new edition of Marienburg: Sold Down the River with the rumored new campaign...

Re: Beyond The Enemy Within campaign, upcoming releases
My opinion is that the Empire is the place of the Warhammer setting which cast the Warhammer feeling. It certainly does so because most mature role playing stuff (deep low fantasy grim and perilous but credible world designed by British academics) was wrote in the 1980's while most role playing stuf...

The most interesting info is that a new subplot has been created from The Restless Dead and Carrion up the Reik which will appear in the companions for DotR and PBtT. I remember it was already announced to everyone. This subplot is called "The Vengeance of the Gravelord". Death on the Rei...

Re: Imperial Calendar
I doubt it would be much useful, as it is in French, but here is the very rough notice for the calendar.

Re: Imperial Calendar
Why bother with Old High German? I do not, as I said, I bother with Early New High German ( Frühneuhochdeutsch in German, haut allemand précoce in French). But I cannot really bother much with it anyway, without having access to a proper grammar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_New_High_German ...

Re: Imperial Calendar
Thank you very much for your suggestions I am French and play in French, but if the Empire is intended to have Germanic feels, including in its language, then I like to do it well and to use as correct as possible German. Even Early New High German if possible, but I've yet to find an online grammar...

There might be errors, it isn't a finished product :p Sorry, I am not really fluent in English and the good word is "equinoctial hours", which is a twelfth part of a daytime or of a night, at the moment of the equinox, when daytime equal night. That is very close to our fixed hours (a twen...

Re: Imperial Calendar
Okay, I decided to rationalize another way. Instead of adapting a calendar to a Mannslieb cycle of twenty-five days, which lead to a very great change, I adapt the cycle of Mannslieb to the Imperial calendar, which make this rationalized calendar way closer to the original one... So, changes are : 1...
