I have to admit I just skip the Imperial calendar completely and go with the regular Gregorian calendar (adding in the various Holidays at appropriate times). Even discounting the issues mentioned in the OP, I'm too old to be arsed with remembering made-up names for weekdays and months. They also, I...

IIRC the story with Cicatrice and the Mecklenbergs, "Ignorant Armies" (by Kim Newman alias Jack Yeovil), is really old. And lots of stuff in Newman's stories (much of Drachenfels, indeed) is incompatible with later Warhammer canon.

Such condition of being 25 years old might explain why Karl France would had been crowned emperor in 2502 I.C. (the year of his 25th birthday) while his father, Luitpold (also called Ferrand, in Letters from Sylvania ), is said by Warhammer Novels to had passed away in 2491 I.C. (which imply an int...

I can't see how it would be Chainmail no matter how you count. Chainmail was not an RPG but a miniatures ruleset. Now, admittedly, the first edition of D&D didn't bill itself as a role-playing game either (and indeed mentions almost nothing about role-playing). The term seems first to have appeared ...

A couple initial impressions after skimming it: - I was pleasantly surprised to see that the description of the Empire and its various states and provinces, while modified, was definitely based on the 1E descriptions from the original TEW rather than the 2E and later WFB ones. So Middenheim is assoc...

There are some quite nasty adventures for the OSR game Lamentations of the Flame Princess , several of them ostensibly set in 17th century Europe so easy to reskin for WFRP. For example: Forgive Us - a band of thieves steal the wrong treasure and unleash a magical disease causing horrible mutations....

Another thing to consider, regarding different damage / wound levels etc, is the different scale. A single combat roll in WFB, unlike WFRP, doesn't mean a single blow but fighting over a longer time. A whole WFRP combat would probably take place within one combat turn in WFB. So I wouldn't sweat try...

Unless it's a new adventure using the same name then 'A Night at the Opera' is not new. It was first published in 'Adventures Unlimited' magazine no.3 in 1995 and as i recall had stats for various RPG systems, including first edition WFRP. It was then republished for second edition WFRP. Interestin...

From the foreword of the book, only the Three Feathers is an old scenario, I beleive the others are new and added as a continuation of the Three Feathers. In fact only "A Day at the Trials" and "A Night at the Opera" are brand new. "Nastassia's Wedding" is a slight reworking of a 1E adventure (orig...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpnLjwOn5tg&feature=youtu.be https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/11/15/old-world-new-warhammer/ I'm concerned about what this might mean for WFRP products, and for the tone of the Old World in general. I was hoping that WFRP products, whether unofficial or offic...

Where's that picture from?

The Festival of the Middle Ages by one Taehoon Kang.

New episode up - a much meatier one than last time. Season 2, Episode 14: Death on the Reik, Part XIV - Midsummer Madness https://theenemywithinremixed.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/tae-hoon-kang-the-festival-of-the-middle-ages.jpg?w=640 In which a close encounter with the Hand at Sonnstill brings del...

This blog chronicles a campaign that's basically the early parts of The Enemy Within run with modified D&D rules (I think 5E, but can't be sure): The Dark Beneath (They have some house rules posted here .) This version notably beefs up the combat encounters - lots more and tougher monsters - which I...

Nice work!

I've spent the last few weeks reading your blog after meaning to get round to it for a while, and finally got caught up yesterday. Really enjoying the session reports, and I like your version of the Warhammer world a lot. Sounds like you're all having a lot of fun with the campaign! Thank you! I'm ...

Season 2, Episode 13: Death on the Reik, Part XIII - Going Back



In which our friends return to Unterbaum, meet up with Said and sail back towards Kemperbad.

Maybe they could be in a position to request political concessions in favour of their people rather than a personal reward? That might be interesting (and quite possibly spark new conflicts).

Whatever your approach on exact dates, it's only fair that the adventure should communicate clearly to the reader/GM what is and isn't important. In Shadows, for instance, IIRC the only important date is the start of the Schaffenfest, which the PCs will learn about from a printed flyer. If the GM wa...

Another reflection I've had since posting my first thoughts: This new version seems clearly aimed at harmonizing the old TEW, originally written for a partially quite different setting, with the later developments of the Warhammer lore. (In hindsight this shouldn't be surprising at all - it fits per...
