MonsterEnvy posted:They also plan to release a starter box with an adventure in Ubersreik in it. That will serve as an introduction and teach how to play. This stuff should be coming with the physical release. Yeah I pre-ordered it and they say it should be out by the end of the month, Sigmar willing. Edit: Has anyone here played the unofficial warhammer campaign A Private War? I just got a hold of it and skimmed the first fifty pages and it seems pretty well written. punishedkissinger fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Sep 20, 2018 |

Night10194 posted:The table results range from 'THY END IS A STICKY ONE INDEED' to warning you that pies and hot crossed buns are out to get you to dramatic stuff about the forces of evil to the Doomsayer falling over dead with a look of utter horror on his face, and you never actually learning what the hell he just saw. A large calendar is one of the things i make for every campaign. it's just useful for players to write on at the very least. I can see how some people would like to avoid the additional clutter. edit: i'm reading through 4e pdf now and I have to say the art is really excellent.

I've always said they should do this for TWW, but man, a Cathay book would be off the hook.

Yeah, as a GM I want my players to succeed, but a consequence-less world is boring.

The Lone Badger posted:How do the Witch Hunters deal with things like visiting Damsels or Ice Witches? Do they need to formally apply for some kind of diplomatic status? Get given leeway as foreigners as long as they don't run into the wrong person? Need to keep it on the down-low because they'll be burned if they actually do anything? The Witch Hunters are limited in their power by politics. They're just one organization of many who exert power of the judicial process and they do not have absolute control.

Continuing to read through A Private War. The writing can be a little obtuse and oddly organized , but the focus the campaign puts on power struggles within the empire is interesting so far. Worry that it might be a little railroad-y. Has anyone else read this campaign?

Has anyone had a chance to read through the free starter adventure that just came out for Warhammer FRP4e? https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/259270/WFRP-Ubersreik-Adventures--If-Looks-Could-Kill?src=newest I've read it once now and overall I like it, it has a good mix of social and combat plus some interesting twists on the genre. I'm a little concerned about the use of the Strigany (Warhammers NOT-romani ethnic group). While they seem to make a point of subverting Romani stereotypes I still feel a little anxious about it. Thoughts?

Mors Rattus posted:4e has made an effort to try and unfuck the Strigany. I haven't read through the adventure to see if they manage it, tho. I want to believe that they've done a good job here. One of the main themes of the scenario is about subverting stereotypes the steadfast dwarf turns out to be a charlatan, the Strigany are just a displaced people with what are actually very reasonable "superstitions" (that stelle which gives everyone bad dreams and is constantly surrounded by mist is haunted), etc. However, there is still an old Strigany mystic/fortune teller trope and as a white dude I'm not sure if that's offensive or not?

I'm strongly considering running a one-off with the players as skaven called To Hell Pit and Back. Thanks for doing this write up, I'll probably skim through the book myself.

Anyone interested here is Dave Allen's scenario To Hellpit and Back, which is a cute one off where the PCs get to play as a bunch of low-level skaven sent to murder-kill a grey seer. Allen also wrote the first published scenario for 4e WHFRP, If Looks Could Kill, which is also excellent. http://grognard.org.uk/WFRP2/Adventures/To%20hell%20pit%20and%20back.pdf

Is there a good source for information on Beastmen? I'm considering as running them a little more empathetically in my game, but I want to see what's out there.

Night10194 posted:This is also backed up by the official Stormvermin enemy stats in Terror in Talabheim (I'm currently running a version of it right now for my group) that has them as SB 5, TB 5, WS 65 monsters, only held back by having 1 attack and kinda meh armor. Also 17 Wounds each. And they made them fairly brave. They have a Strength and Toughness higher than the Rat Ogre. Is terror in talabheim a good campaign? i'm considering running it, seems like it could be decent.

Night10194 posted:It's...mixed. It's one of the better minicampaigns in the line, I think, but I can't talk about it too thoroughly because my players read this thread. yeah, in that case i'll just wait for the rest of the starter adventure ubersreik stuff to get released. what they've put out has been pretty neat so far.

I've been thinking more about the way different institutions interact in The Empire, specifically regarding how magic use is handled. The Sigmarites seem to oppose it entirely and would probably burn every magic user if they were allowed, but obviously the Colleges of Magic are quite powerful and have other ideas. This lead me to write a quick little adventure hook. A landlord contacts the PCs. Recently, one of his tenants disappeared into thin air, along with the entire home. This was of course immediately noticed by everyone in town and there are now several groups searching for the man. The Church of Sigmar suspects chaos magic is involved and wish to locate the home and "interview" the tenant. The Colleges of Magic feel similarly, though, unknown to the PCs they seek to recruit the man into their ranks. The landlord is seeking back rent as well as damages and would like to find the man before the others do as he suspects it will be difficult to collect on these debts after the Sigmarites are done with him. As this conversation is finishing, word comes that the house has been spotted atop one of the nearby Hagercryb mountains and the race is on!

A local Lord hires the PCs to investigate strange occurrences around his manse- he fears he's being spied on. Soonafter he turns up dead when he "falls off a balcony". The trail leads the players to a Shallyan mutant sanctuary and there is evidence implicating the rat-child there, however, there is also evidence that the Lord was deeply corrupt and cruel.

Class is super baked into the fiction and career mechanics but it feels like none of the published scenarios really take advantage of that in interesting ways. I'd love to see more stuff like this

Ronwayne posted:Is there a term in economics for what a bad idea it is to have whatever your currency is also be an important ingredient/good in your economy as well? I know I'm trying to ascribe anything like sanity to the skaven, but imagining a manratten project where you also had to pay for everything in uranium as well is uh. It's like the absolute worst possible barter system you could design.

Night10194 posted:Eh, it's TT accurate for them to be kind of a disappointment against any sort of serious fighter. It's fine for them to be easy enough to kill if you know what you're doing. Yeah I just ran an session where the armored Ogre got absolutely murder killed because the spellcaster kept sniping him with Dart, preventing him from ever building up any advantage, while the players just maxed out their combo bar and laid waste to everything. I expect this will be even easier with Rogers since their compatriots are going to be even lower-tier chaffe that the players can get their combo going on.
