So, the past few days, my attention has been drawn to my collection of PDFs for the 2nd edition of the Warhammer Fantasy RPG. Which, of course, has lead to ponderings of possibly running such things.

FIRST THINGS FIRST: While I am fully aware of the existence of Slaanesh, and what that entails, smut WILL NOT play a "foreground" role in any sessions/threads that I handle. There's a very simple reason for this: Previous tests made in private by me have shown me that I CAN NOT write smut. Full stop, period, end of discussion. It just doesn't work for me.

To clarify the "foreground" bit: If you want your character to follow Slaanesh and have depraved sex, it'll just get referenced, but happens off-screen, as it were.


OKAY, now that that's out of the way... I've got plans for the campaign ideas set such that either side of the equation could be run. Here's a list of what I have for "playable":

Order side:
Empire
Halflings
Elves
Dwarves
Bretonnians

Chaos side:
Northmen
Chaos Cultists
Chaos Dwarves
Beastmen
Skaven

I'm not adverse in this set up to some one who might want to run a Dark Elf or Greenskin. However, you'll need to send me a PDF with rules for it via Dropbox. Preferrably, an official rules one, however I'll decide on homebrew on a case by case basis.

At this point, my plan is to let any interested players roll up their characters as written in the corebook, with a single houserule: You may place the eight stat rolls as you wish, rather than rolling in order. Shallya's Mercy rule applies as normal.

Once in the actual sessions/threads however, I'll probably be handling the rolls myself. We'll see, I'm still debating that point. Also, basic books are currently offered, and if there's enough interest, I'll add relevant extras.

Linked Dropbox Contents:
Core Book.
Fillable Character Sheet PDF
Character Pack
Skaven Sourcebook
Chaos Sourcebook (contains the Northmen, Cultists, Chaos Dwarves, and Beastmen rules.)
Magic Sourcebook (contains additional Dwarf rules as well.)
Equipment Sourcebook
Empire Sourcebook (contains additional crap for Imperials.)
Bretonnia Sourcebook (More Human options.)
Career Compendium (Courtesy of Maiko. Has most careers in it.)

Oh hey... A friend ran a game using these rules once. Really liked the system. Consider this tentative interest, I guess.

Would it be a forum game or over a chat program?

As for Maiko's question... Leaning towards chat game, probably through Hope's chatroom, although it might end up forum-based if there's a great deal of scheduling issues.

Also, added the Skaven book to the Dropbox. EDIT: Decided to just go ahead and add the bulk of the character rules expansions that I have to the Dropbox.

If this hasn't already died... found a PDF of the Career Guide. Collects most of the normal careers from the splatbooks and adds a few. At the end are some tables for rolling starting careers, along with different methods (such as rolling based on region or party role).

PDF here:

I'm hoping it's still alive. Thanks for the book, I've added it to the box.

Re: Possible Old World Grimderpery - WFRPG2ed

And the total derpage starts even before the game itself can... Just noticed that I TOTALLY derped on adding any information as to my planned storyline. Mea culpa.


The story is planned to revolve around a relatively minor Chaos Invasion scheme, targeting somewhere in the northeastern region of the Empire. An Empire-allied player group would be hunting hidden cults and agents of Chaos, as well as other opportunistic threats, eventually facing off against the invading Chaos army.

Should players want to work with Chaos, however, they'll be trying to attract the attention of the leader of this growing army, in hopes of advancing the plans of the Dark Gods and earning their favor. However, there's at least two different, and rival, warbands aiming for the same apparent goal. The Skaven will be helping the Chaos side, but that's because there's Warpstone to be gained out of it.

Well, I'm going to give this until Friday. Then I'll make a decision on what to do about it.
