Re: Imperial Calendar
There might be errors, it isn't a finished product :p Sorry, I am not really fluent in English and the good word is "equinoctial hours", which is a twelfth part of a daytime or of a night, at the moment of the equinox, when daytime equal night. That is very close to our fixed hours (a twen...

Re: Imperial Calendar
Okay, I decided to rationalize another way. Instead of adapting a calendar to a Mannslieb cycle of twenty-five days, which lead to a very great change, I adapt the cycle of Mannslieb to the Imperial calendar, which make this rationalized calendar way closer to the original one... So, changes are : 1...

Re: Warhammer Old World, a.k.a. WFB returns.
The strength of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay , in my humble opinion, never were rules, but rather its universe and its scenarii : a caustic and mature low fantasy Role-playing game set in a Renaissance-like era Germanic coherent, credible and complex world, where most of inhabitants where unaware of t...

Re: Warhammer Old World, a.k.a. WFB returns.
"One of the coolest aspects of returning to the world-that-was is the opportunity to revisit certain aspects of its classic lore and delve into them in greater detail than ever before." Coming from the immature gang of GW's employees who perpetrates their abuses on a tabletop game now desi...

Re: Nurgle cults - what defines them?
Reading again The Lost and the Damned, I feel that a corrupted flavour of what would be a cynical sect might be another good historical inspiration for Nurgle cults, especially their concept of adiaphora.

Re: Nurgle cults - what defines them?
The elite might (and does) also happen to want to see changes... Remember that the French Great Revolution (1787-1815) started in 1787 with the Aristocratic insurrection against Despotism. The success of the Aristocratic Nobility, the social elite, against the king of France and his ministers, to fo...

Re: Fan made?
depending on who you ask, those don't exist in warhammer.....maybe the problem is you're unfamilier with what the setting is like Skylark asked for elementals and other generic creatures... We can't know what something such bland as "other generic creatures" mean... so I considerate his o...

Re: Nurgle cults - what defines them?
The Chaos god Nurgle was inspired by the Mesopotamian god Nergal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nergal So, there might perhaps be an use to retro-inspire from Nergal Nurgle's cults. On official sources: All the Chaos gods are embodiments of the hopes, fears and other strong emotions and concepts gen...

Re: Comparison with Zweihander
Not saying it's necessarily "theft", but it's certainly more blatant than the gods and magic in Zweihander. Sorry to state again the obvious, but it is quite the reverse than what you are not saying: it is necessarily not theft . Games Workshop could had stole any support on which is draw...

Re: Comparison with Zweihander
Calling it "theft" seem totally stupid: intellectual property is, by definition, immaterial and obviously one can only steal, by definition, material things.
Hence, intellectual property cannot be stolen... it might, however, be counterfeited, which is a very different thing.

Re: Imperial Calendar
If they have a printed yearly calendar on which they might write or draw things, it doesn't pose problems for player to understand how much time has passed and what seasons were (especially with my presentation : the first line is spring, the second line is summer, the third line is autumn, the four...

Re: Enemy In Shadows Companion Available
As far as I can tell, none of the official WFRP or WFB publications (not counting Boxtree or Black Library) have ever listed a date of death for Karl-Franz's father. Boxtree, which is an official publisher, but a novel one, not a roleplay nor battle one, did, p. vij of its Warhammer novels and anth...

Re: Enemy In Shadows Companion Available
Elector situation in 2512 and other fluff there is pretty interesting considering situation in circa 252X. Very exited to see how story goes, when they get to the final parts of the TEW. I still think the civil-war is happening... And why is Prince Luitpold banished away? Wolfgang is named heir… As...

Yes that is for sure.

LE GOFF, La civilisation de l'Occident médiéval.
This presentation of the Roman Empire, at the 1st century of our era, by the famous French medievalist historian Jacques Le Goff, appears to me to be the perfect historical example of what would be, in the Warhammer World, a society that follows precepts of the Law gods: Placée par Romulus sous le s...
