Winds of Chaos

I've recently reviewed a few 1st Edition WFRP books on my WFRP blog. Thought someone here might be interested!

Currently I've got reviews there of The Restless Dead, Dying of the Light and Marienberg: Sold Down the River.

In case anyone is interested, my list of 1e reviews has just grown since I've published a review of the classic Carl Sargent adventure "Lichemaster". See https://illmetbymorrslieb.wordpress.com ... chemaster/

Lichemaster is a secret favorite of mine. I love how it reads but I’ve never had the opportunity to run it in a campaign — I think I’d have to heavily modify it and I don’t know if I’m up for it. But I do love the story, I love the maps, I love the location, I love the undead … great review! Brought back a lot of memories.

Thank you! I've similarly never managed to run it but there's so much to love in it!

Back in the day, I ran Lichemaster by the book once. It was in my teenage years so I was not ready to tinker with the scenario. Still, we had loads of fun.

I recently published a two-part review of the fascinatingly flawed adventure Something Rotten in Kislev. I've been gradually working my way through reviewing the 4th Ed version of the Enemy Within, but decided to take a side-track into the 1st edition SRIK since its not in the 4th edition version - and its such a interestingly odd bit of 1st edition!

Another 1st Edition review - just in time for Hallowe'en, I've reviewed possibly the spookiest WFRP adventure: Castle Drachenfels! Written by Carl Sargent, this offers a group of intrepid Player Characters the opportunity to delve into the fearsome fortress of the Great Enchanter himself. Drachenfels is dead... so long live Castle Drachenfels.

Castle Drachenfels is another secret favorite. Has anyone ever run this? I can’t imagine surviving.

Yes, once, as an older teenager, aeons ago.

It was a memorable adventure. The majority of players' characters survived and even defeated Constant Drachenfels. However, as he didn't regain his full power before the final encounter, he cast the Life in Death spell on himself. So, after the physical death his spirit was transferred to the body of their servant. A few months later, during a great ball in Nuln, held in recognition of their unbelievable feat, the Great Enchanter attacked...

That sounds crazy! I’ve been wanting to run Lichemaster and Castle Drachenfels for a long time. Maybe even the Restless Dead campaign or Doomstones. Those books have been sitting on my shelf for almost 40 years now.
