Many thanks for such detailed answer!

So, the official order of Doomstones is something like:
1. James Wallis's « Crossing the Border » (published in Hogwash #3)
2. Basil Barrett's Fire in the Mountain (later compiled in Fire and Blood )
3. Grame Davis's « Ironstone Pass » (published in White Dwarf #132 and in Apocryphia 2: Chart of ...

I appreciate too that AK is no longer scripted to be eliminated without any exchange with the adventurers in the rewrite of the “MI”, but I am disappointed that it is so only to be scripted to be eliminated without any verbal exchange with the adventurer in the “SOB”.

I think it haves much to do ...

FWIW: I just looked at second edition, and Swim is a basic skill there.


Yes I saw that too, very few days ago :)

It is like if it was an advanced skill in the first edition, and it is an advanced skill in the fourth.
It is a basic skill in the second.
I don't know for the third.

There ...

The campaign will start with the scenario "Luisa's curse". Originally a French scenario, published some twenty (?) years ago in Casus Belli
November 1993 ;)
The original title is Luisa pleure de se voir si laide en son miroir , wrote by Tristan LHOMME for Casus Belli #78 (of the first series ...

I also quite recommand Jean-Philippe Jaworski's French Roleplaying Game Te Deum pour un massacre (Open Sesame Games, 2024), for the setting of French wars of Religions (the chronology covered by the chronics' book goes from 1559-1598), as a good inspiration for the kingdom of Bretonnia.
That's in ...

In a low fantasy context, if the adventurer is alone (he jumped by night, when everyone was sleeping, or the village is abandoned), then I would let him be drowned and, with his fate point spent, he would simply be found by the other adventurers lying on the shore, or regain consciousness by himself ...

As for the first edition of WFRP, characters without swimming skill start to sink after a number of rounds equal to their their T bonus. Then, they lose 1 W per round. When they reach 0 W, they're drowned.

To have a system a bit closer to reality, I would ask to the character who doesn't know how ...

I'll follow it. Many thanks.

As for “perhaps it’s also because this was the fag end of the WFRP3 line. There’s very little original artwork: the new material amounts largely to portraits of each of four key NPCs, with the rest filled out by “stock” Games Workshop pieces you may have seen before ...

The career tags system in WFRP3 is really good. Instead of having entries and exits, anyone can go from any career to any other career (although there are some baked in limitations, like some are starting career only, you have to complete the previous wizard career before going into the next one ...

It makes career progress more flexible, but the lack of guidance makes it also more difficult, as players now have to work through a book of more than 250 careers to find out which careers are opening up for them. I don't know if every player is waiting for that.


You might produce an index ...

I've not read it yet (I'll wait a translation), but I thing that the first chapter of Katrin KELLER's Twenty-Five Women Who Shaped the Early Modern Holy Roman Empire is interesting nevertheless, for whoever wants to avoid the complacent fantasies of an equality of genders in the Empire, but wants ...

I think I've already recommanded it: Robert Merles's Fortune de France is an interesting novel to inspire an Early Modern Bretonnia.

A TV adaptation was made:

On a different basis, I've discovered the insanity rules of Unknown Armies, and I like what I've read.

I think it might also be something to look at. Perhaps, linking the hardening on the psychological stress to a path toward one of the chaotic gods:
Helplessness either to Nurgle or to Zuvassin ...

(I have nothing to comment, but I read with interest. Thank you very much.)

Has any attempt been made to reconcile the two ideas? I should think that there is plenty of room in Bretonnia for both.


I had, a long time ago, at the time of WFB6 and in the earliest times of WFRP2, but I think that all I did was undoubtedly mostly lost.

There was, in fact, three official ...

Sure, Hogshead released them in pairs. Since I own the original flame versions, I always think of heart of chaos as #5.
Should I offer my copy of part 5 to C7?
Or is there a copyright issue with #5?


The French edition was translated for Descartes Éditeur from Flame Publications', so the ...

For the templar, it depends of which god serves the said templar...
Myrmidia? -> knight of the Blazing Sun (Up in Arms, p. 32)
Ulric? -> knight of the White Wolf (UIA, p. 34)

Another god? Either adapt from those two careers or use the knight (Warhammer fantasy roleplay, p. 111) or the warrior ...
