Actual Play,
Warhammer Fantasy RP
Number of Views :563On Saturday, I attended the Journey to Black Fire Pass event at the Fantasy Flight Games Event Center. (Warning, from here on out, there’s spoilers!) The idea behind the event, was that it was an introductory adventure to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3e. There didn’t seem to be much support for it, as [...]

Number of Views :591In a recent article on Campaign Mastery, Johnn speaks to Mike about languages in your role-playing game, and their importance. You really should read it. It’s very in-depth and fascinating. In general, I don’t put too much emphasis on languages. I’ll occasionally throw in a character who only speaks Elvish so only a few characters can speak [...]
Number of Views :540At GenCon, I’ll be running the Warhammer Fantasy RP scenario: A Day Late and a Shilling Short, a quick adventure that can be found on Fantasy Flight Games’ website.
