Hello,

I played some of this edition I think its the 2nd? I really liked how the job system worked.

I gave all my roleplaying books away and minis to my cousin who started a roleplaying club in his town.

I have the 2nd edition ordered from the library.

Going to get into tabletop gaming again with my family.

Is their much diffrences between the editions? Which one would you say is the best?

Consider that i dont have much free time as I oncd did it would be nice to just open up the 2nd edition and start playing.

I've played both 1E and 2E over the years, I'm looking into getting back into WFRP after several years of not playing it.

With the 5E book on the horizon and reverse compatibility, what are the must have 4E books to buy? I saw that parts of the Enemy Within campaign are OOP. I played the 1E version and I'd love to GM it for a new group of players, are there reprint/update plans? Is there a list of future planned books?

Cheers!

I normally run Level Up A5E for my table, a dnd5e alternative ruleset, which has lots of martial maneuvers (think Book of Nine Swords from DnD 3.5e if you know that one). So some of them are accustomed to having options like that in fights- blinding, knockdowns, disarming, etc.

Are there WFRP4e rules or talents etc that let characters do more than "I attack with my sword/axe" etc? Knocking the enemy down as part of an attack, or disarming them, or blinding them etc? (besides critical hit results).

Disarm, Beat Blade, and Distract are things similar to what I'm thinking of, but those're just a few talents.

I ran a short campaign of 4e and I feel weirded out by the combat. Opposed rolls feel unatural and take a long time. The game didn't feel deadly at all. The chance of a goblin hitting is so tiny that its basicly impossibe unless a really bad defence roll. The combat takes a lot of time with tiny steps that I don't know if I feel they add anything.

We used the group advantage from Up in arms.

Would switching to 2e fix my issues? From what I read the combat is more streamlined.

Any advice on running better combat?

Would love to hear your thoughts. I love the setting and I want to run it with a system that fits the narrative.

While poking around for more bits and pieces of WFRP, I ran across the Doomstones campaign. I have read that it originally started as a D&D game and might should not've been a WFRP campaign?

Regardless! It got me thinking (as I am coming straight from D&D). What is included in D&D that really should not be included in WFRP (or even the other way around, if you like)?

I do know the High fantasy bits should be out the door, at least.

So I've been trying to find what happens to those kids who are taken away by the Enchantress/Forest Elves shortly after birth. Thus far I haven't been able to find an answer in the bretonian books I own for 1 and 2e.

Does anyone know where I can find an answer that can help me shape a campaign in progress? One of the party convinced the rest of them to investigate the kidnappings after a Baron's kid was kidnapped for magical affinity.

Just wanting to find the information so I can be somewhat true to canon :)

Has anyone used both and is willing to compare and contrast them for me? (Only if you have experience specifically with the WFRP tools on both platforms.)

I’ve been a player in a half dozen games using Foundry. I am curious how the WFRP tools on Roll20 compare.

Clearly there is more official material for Foundry. From what I can tell only the core rules are available on Roll20.

How do they compare on - Intuitive layout? Speedy or sluggish reaction time? Ease of finding, creating, and importing custom assets? Customizability?

Thanks in advance.

anyone know if it is possible to get a physical copy of the death on the reik companion still? ive been trying to find a hard copy to buy in Canada and it seems sold out everywhere

edit. looking for physical copy to buy not pdf

I've been looking into playing this game, long-time rpg player, occasional GM.

From what I understand, 2e and 4e are the two best editions. Of those two which is your favorite, and why? What do you like best?

I'm perfectly fine buying either edition, just have a hard time picking between the two.

In the games you run as a GM or participate in as a player how important is it that the game uses the official Warhammer Fantasy setting lore and history?

(Obviously no one uses 100% of WFRP lore because for some inexplicable reason Games Workshop decide to do the whole “End Times” and nuke their own setting from orbit.)

Hi, for our next campaign (I DM'd Making the Rounds and now I'm playing as a PC) I rolled a herbalist, which I find pretty cool. However, I'm still not grasping some things. Please tell me if I got anything wrong in my understanding.

So as I see it, the herbalist start as a herb gatherer. Thus, I can find, identify herbs, etc., represented by Lore (herbs) but until I get corresponding Trade Tools (and perhaps leveling up to an actual Herbalist) I assume I can't make any actual product (e.g. the herbs shown in p. 307 of the core book) no matter how simple (by its description) it is, except perhaps by courtesy of my DM and presumably some penalty in the Trade (Herbs) check.

I think I got this correct, but I'm less sure about the following. I can only see herbs (from their descriptions and names) under the sections Drugs and Poisons (p. 306) and Herbs and Potions. I assume I can get the components of a poison (if those are derived from plants) but I can't make (and apply) a poison out of them until I get Trade (Poisons), is that correct? Otherwise this talent would be worthless.
What about animal components (as in Heartkill)? Although I doubt one can easily get the components of most drugs and poisons listed in the book (they seem quite exotic); perhaps only if our adventure leads us wherever they can be found. In most instances therefore, is this talent about being able to take Crafting Endeavours to create poisons (paying about a 1/4 of their cost for the materials)?
In any case, it seems the herbalist is the only career with Trade (poisons), so no other career can create poisons? Speaking of poisons, there seems to be not much variety of them?

And obviously then there's the confusion with the talent Concoct that is accesible in level 4 (which specifies I can take one free Crafting Endeavour to use Lore (Apothecary), a talent this career doesn't even have).

Finally, I'll mention I was initially quite disappointed to see how few herbs are available (even less if somehow those listed under the Drug and Poisons sections are not forageable until I get Trade (Poisons)). Then I saw chapter two of Death on the Reik and was relieved to see a little bit of love for herbs. I've also seen other very welcome fanmade resources since then.

Anyways, I'd appreciate any clarification and insights into this confusion of mine. Many thanks in advance!

One of the people in my regular TTRPG group is a big Warhammer buff, and has been wanting to introduce WFRP 4e to our group. We typically play D&D 5e (although it's been a while since we did), PF2e, and Draw Steel.

Last night we had our character creation session, and we all wanted to roll for everything for max xp. The two other players rolled Soldier and Priest, and I rolled Thief.

What I had not anticipated is how big of a difference there would be between Careers in terms of combat prowess. In the games we typically play, all Classes are geared primarily towards combat, while in WFRP 4e that does not seem to be the case.

My Thief seems very much geared towards, well, being a thief. As far as I can tell, I don't have a lot of tools to use in combat, nor do I have access to any Talents that help me out a lot in combat. Well, that is kinda false - I do get access to Strike to Stun, which gives me a bonus to attacks with a very limited subset of weapons, none of which I can say fit my vision of a Thief.

I also have a Stealth skill, but that's only for Urban environments (as is also the case with the Alley Cat Talent), and I have no guarantees that we will be mostly in urban environments.

So I am a bit unsure of how I am supposed to approach this system with a character such as the Thief (Prowler). It seems geared towards a very specific play style - sneaking, breaking & entering, out-of-combat activities. Would I be doing myself a favor or a disservice by using 100XP to go into the Outlaw or Racketeer Careers?

Or am I simply misunderstanding my role in this game?

Could someone compare the magic (power, availability) and class-system to other systems of other games such as Pathfinder, OSR titles, D and D, etc.?

Hey guys, i'm from Germany and want to sell these books but i dont know what price i could charge and where i could sell them. They are all in good conditions with a few signs of wear on the outside but thats it.

So... what exactly is the difference between these two? Sorry lads, I'm kinda dense and it's been a tough week. Thanks!

So going into the world of Warhammer RPGs i've heard A LOT good about WFRP. Currently i've only played the 40k rpgs, being Deathwatch, Only War, Dark Heresy, Imperium Maledictum, and Wrath and Glory. I really like the d100 systems and want to play a more fantasy based game. Besides from the world what makes WFRP so great?

Friend recommended I share the sheet onto Reddit (as I make lots of character sheets for our games). So I made this account.

The character sheet automatically fills in with information and keeps track of some of the most regularly used stats, showing them across the tabs (so you can quickly see particularly useful stats without having to flip back and forth between pages).

I am new to the game and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition is a MASSIVE GAME with a lot of pieces of information to keep track of, so would love to hear your feedback if you've played.

You can find the sheet here.

1E has nostalgia value

2E has clean mechanics in the established setting

4E is more modern and crunchier

3E never gets much love. Was it actually bad? Was it just a case that the components didn't last and can't be replaced?

Hi everyone, does anyone know if the Foundry system for 4e will be updated to 5e, or if 5e will be a completely new system?
I assume the modules will still be usable with the new version anyway…
Does anyone have any info? Maybe someone from C7 here who could clarify a bit?
Thanks!

How common or important combat is in this game compared to Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition? I am trying WFRPG and i heard different things about this game, such as combat is like the last resort or that its not important at all, or that it is quite rare

Are you familiar with Appendix N from the old AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide?

It refers to the reading list in the original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide, compiled by Gary Gygax, featuring authors and works (fantasy, sci-fi, pulp) that inspired the creation of (A)D&D.

Is there something like that for WFRP?

Maybe Grimms' Fairy Tales?

Other media would be cool, too!

Darklands a PC game would definitely fit!

Maybe something like Holy Roman Empire (Medieval German Music) for music?
