WFRP: Minor update to iAltdorf map (1.21)

Today I spent the evening making a minor update to the iAltdorf map. This is in response to a request from Charles Glass to add two locations, and while doing so I also noticed some other errors which I fixed.

As always, the download page has the link to the archive as well as the change list. The current version is now 1.21.

Thanks Charles for the feedback!

WFRP: Second edition offered as POD

This morning I woke up to a news post at RPGnews.com that declared that WFRPv2 is offered as a POD option at Drivethrurpg.com.

Crazy news. Pretty crazy prices as well, but I'm sorely tempted to buy a core rulebook just to check the quality.

WFRP: Blogging the Old World from A to Z

I've been remiss in my sworn duty to point your attention to WFRP content. To make some small amount of amends, I direct you to the magnificent A to Z blogging coming to a close at Another Caffeinated Day. Last year I heaped praise on the effort and this year is no different.

This year two writers have collaborated on this project, and as the challenge draws to a close you can find them at the letter W. Which is Warpstone, but fittingly enough also WFRP.

Thank you Tim for doing this again this year.

WFRP: The Enemy Within returns

Today FFG dropped a bomb of epic proportion! This was unexpected.

Mr. Davis did drop a hint about this a long while ago, but I didn't think he was working on something of this magnitude!

More as it develops!

WFRP: Help wanted (20)

"Are you discrete? A writer or an artist? Have books, need someone capable of copying. No knowledge of languages required, but previous experience with ink and feather critical. Interested parties should ask for Herr Schmitt at the the Black Velvet tavern. Generous compensation."

- Something for those of the academic persuasion. Posted at the University Library.

Yeah, well, this one should make even the most trusting character feel unease. But the compensation is supposed to be generous, and a student of the humanities need to eat. Or drink, as it may well be. The text could be heretical, an insidious Slaanesh tome forbidden to read, or it could be a description of how to find the long lost tomb of a fallen hero, or tracts that are copied and passed out to incite riots.

Taking a cue for sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the job could also be a cover for something else, such as a way to guarantee the character's absence from home while chaos cultists use his abode for nefarious plotting. And also, "Herr Schmitt"? Any character taking a job from a mysterious "Herr Schmitt" needs to keep eyes and ears open for ill doings!

WFRP: Charts and Tables (2)

A new table to roll for whenever you need a random city watch encounter! I will go from rolling a d10 to a d6, partly to make it easier for me to write the tables, but also to make the odds of running into the same Watchman in different situations higher. Therefore, some Watchmen in the Universität Bezirk have been transferred from the Niederhafen Bezirk, which means I will be updating that random table later.

Yeah, it's also because I'm lazy. So sue me!

City Watch in Universität Bezirk

If the characters call for the City Watch in the Universität Bezirk, roll a d6 and consult the following table.

1. Altdorf's shortest Watchman, Kleine Hermann, saunters up to the characters, nonchalantly chewing tobacco and gobbing at their feet. Half competent, but needs convincing to engage.

2. Gerke and Otto come running. Curt and effective Watchmen, they are loathe to take any action without first calling in reinforcements (roll another d6, reroll any result of 2).

3. First nothing happens. Then after some time, Uto, Urban and Viktor show up. They are three enthusiastic young Watchmen without any experience or useful skills. They are eager to help, but are more likely to make any situation worse with their efforts.

4. Gottwin, Horst and Holger marches up to the characters. They are dressed in perfect uniforms, their helmets are polished to a shine and they carry out their duties with military precision. If they have any fault it's the fact that they don't really listen to what people are telling them, unless the person in question is a higher ranked individual (professional or social rank).

5. Joshua and Maria turns up, filled with energy and anxiety. They are students at the University and work as Watchmen in their spare time to raise money for the education. Inexperienced but very, very smart. Probably too smart, since they tend to overthink even the smallest crime. Their wild theories are often entertaining, but seldom correct.
