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 al...

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 Isol...

(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 Bretonn...

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 original bo...

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 priest...

It is an anonymous manuscript.
There are some hypothesis on its eventual author... They are summarized here:

To conclude my previous post, instead of the A to D classes of WFRP1 (or to the Gold to Bronze of WFRP4), I would use the following ranks, as a first steps: A: The princes ( die Fürsten ) which is of use for powerful NPC only. B: The lower nobility, the knighthood ( der niedere Adel, die Ritterschaf...

I've read again, in Le Nouvel Aporcryphe , Graeme Davis's and Mike Burton's new rules for social intercouse, "Social Level", on how class and standing should affect the game. It was initially published in White Dwarf #138. I made a connexion with this presentation of Early Modern Germany b...

Coats of arms aren't reserved to the nobility. Merchants had coats of arms both in Early Modern European parts of Earth and -if I'm remembering correctly some city supplements such as Bögenhafen's or Marienburg's- in the fantasy setting of the Warhammer's World. Heraldry spread to the burgher class ...

Damien Lyonnet's Medicinalis libri was a very good fan French supplement for WFRP1... Probably difficult to find, now.

That is because there were many eras of influence for Warhammer, which settle down in layers: ragbag of many fantasy influences without much inspiration nor critical thinking; a learned adult critical universe whose dystopian aspects are used as a mean to implicitly critic real world prejudices*; a ...

I would like to finish that project... To summarize it: Day: Rhya's rotation. --- The Mannslieber calendar: Year : 12 mannths; Mannth : 33 days (cycle of Mannslieb: 33 days and 8 hours); Kalend : the first day of the mannth, at new Mannslieb (not part of the week); Week : 1/4th of a mannth minus the...

In Warhammer, that is the case of fimirs.

I would name the species "human" and add as a "nation" the notions of "Reiklander", "Middenheimer", "Middenlander" or "Nordlander"...

I discover (and am very surprised) from the introduction that "inflammable" means "not flammable" in English (at the exact opposite of its French and Latin meaning from which the word was borrowed: in-["on"] -flamm-["fire"] -able["able to be"] = &quo...

You've already made those fallacious allegations few pages earlier and you were already proved wrong . Errare humanum est perseverare diabolicum . I feel that it would be better, if possible, to avoid going round in circle again and again. On magic and warp: places of strong magic are place hugely s...
