Re: Origins of the Gods.
I took a look at Gideon's 'Awesome Lies' blog and i found some references to Lovecraft and Cthulhu in these posts: https://awesomeliesblog.wordpress.com/2017/03/18/theogony-part-two/ https://awesomeliesblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/28/interview-with-graeme-davis/ https://awesomeliesblog.wordpress.com/2...

Re: Origins of the Gods.
-The chaos gods seem to me to be based on Cthulhu mythos spliced with Christian apocolyptic ideas. Sorry to bother, but could you explain this? I've heard this for years but as (too) much as i've read lovecraft's works never once has any parallels in their actions or motives come across. Is this ju...

Re: Origins of the Gods.
It seems to me that the diversity of the apparently different natures of the various different gods reflects the origins and influences of the Warhammer Fantasy universe from which they came. The dwarf gods seem to me to be Tolkienesque, based on the idea of the seven ancestors of the dwarves in Mid...

Re: The Enemy Within to come...
I think C7 is leaving this open. Everyone can decide how they will play the future of Warhammer World, if their games reach circa 2521 and beyond. You can ignore both SoC and TET. Or play either one... [Lots of interesting stuff] My own impression from what I've seen so far of the 4th edition backg...

(Apologies if everyone got 7+ updates for my previous post. I realise i should have used 'preview' rather than 'submit' when editing. No irony intended by this post.)

Re: The Enemy Within to come...
To (attempt to) be clear, and to paraphrase both myself and FasterThanJesus to some extent, WFRP 1st edition's The Enemy Within campaign is set 10 or 20 years (depending on which commentator is correct) before the WFB Storm of Chaos if it is set within the/a version of the Warhammer Fantasy universe...

Re: The Enemy Within to come...
I’m new to all this. Ha! No shit :) . I advise not spoiling it for yourself with spoilers and the like. Is the new Enemy Within pre or post Storm of Chaos? It's pre Storm of Chaos. Indeed, though it may be a little presumptuous of me to say so, i'd say it's pre any version of the Warhammer universe...

Also nominated for Best Rules. I'd be interested to know what the criteria were.

Re: Undead (vampires) in Old World
It depends how much power and sincerity you think the witch hunters and Morrites have. It could also be a case of witch hunters thinking that the 'witches' are to found in the periphery and not in the civilised centre.

Re: Undead (vampires) in Old World
There are various versions of the Warhammer World of course. If you're thinking of the grittier, more subversive Warhammer World into which the Drachenfels novel was placed bear in mind that it was canonically loose. I don't find it to be odd in a 'low fantasy' universe for there to be a favourite h...

Re: Videos and Podcasts
Some trailers to the great Vermintide series. :) Primary for inspiration, mood setting and visualization. Look at a drawn Skaven on a picture is nice, but seeing them move about really brings them to life and helps, at least me, to see them as they act in my mind's eye during a game. You seem to ha...

Re: Tobcon 3
I'd be surprised if that wasn't 1st edition. Twisted has been around a while and as far as i know hasn't moved away from 1st. Everything else is heresy.

True, though bear in mind that the City of Chaos supplement was an entire additonal supplement of around 100 pages.

Re: Enemy Within Volume Two announced! (And a gamemaster screen's too!)
Middenland. Interesting. It suggests what direction changes to Power Behind the Throne might go in. I wonder if City of Chaos supplement will also appear, or if they're leaving that as is. it's not like WFRP has ever made any distinction between middenheim and the entire imperial province it rules,...
