Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (2018)

Welcome Back to the Old World!

Overview

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay or Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play (abbreviated to WFRP or WHFRP) is a role-playing game set in the Warhammer Fantasy setting. The fourth edition rooted in the first and second editions was released under licence by Cubicle 7 in 2018. The system it directly evolved from is
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Edition

Description

The primary setting of WFRP is the Empire, a faction located in a region of the "Old World", that is based loosely on the Holy Roman Empire, with a number of baronies, counties and dukedoms fashioned after the fiefs of elector counts and dukes. One of the most identifiable features of the Warhammer setting is Chaos. While the forces of Chaos in Warhammer Fantasy Battle are depicted primarily in the form of bloodthirsty marauders, towering dark knights and savage beastmen, Chaos in WFRP is an insidious force gnawing at the fabric of society.

Key features

The Career System

Instead of fixed classes, characters enter specific Careers like Boatman, Grave Robber, or Wizard Apprentice. You spend experience points to advance within your career or transition to a related one. This represents your character's actual life and job in the world rather than just their combat role.

Brutal Critical Injuries

Hit points are low and do not increase much as you level. When a character is hit while they have no remaining Advantage or are critically struck, the player must roll on gruesome tables. These results range from minor scars to losing an eye, a limb, or your life.

Corruption and Sin

Magic is inherently dangerous and tied to the Winds of Chaos. Using magic or encountering dark artifacts can grant Corruption points. If your Corruption exceeds your willpower, you may develop physical mutations or mental instability, eventually turning into a servant of the Dark Gods.

Fate and Resilience

Characters have limited pools of Fate and Resilience points. Fate can be spent to avoid certain death, while Resilience allows you to ignore the effects of a mutation or a critical hit. These are rare and precious resources that represent the character's sheer stubbornness to stay alive in a doomed world.

Warhammer Fantasy 4E Campaign [Enemy in Shadows]

Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
Campaign is called Enemy in Shadows and the idea in here is to uncover the ever looming and growing Cult that is defying the existence of Sigmar and religition around Him. You are just a band of traverlers that merged together on a minor quest to Altdorf at first but then, whatever happens', happens'. Needed : 1 person, maybe 2 depending on situation Software : Discord & Foundry (both free) System : WFRP 4e Sessions when : Thursday (around 6pm) Class choice : Up to you, could be random Time zone : UTC+1 (please do not be far off) Current amount of people is difficult to tell... Could be 4, could be 5, difficult to find consistency

WHFRP 4e

This group has been running for about 4 years. We are looking for new players. We are UK based but play online. At the moment we have just started Curse Of Strahd which has been converted to work with warhamer fantasy role-play 4th edition.  Were open to anyone but are especially good for players new to the system or new to role-play in general. Were happy to help and the VTT we use does the majority of the rules for you. We play on Saturdays at 20:30 GMT

Hello all. I am Tyler (he/him) (under 18 but over 15) (AEDT) and I have 4 years of experience as a player and 3 years as a GM. I would love to find new games to join as a player. I am someone that enjoys playing character driven and story based game. I'm not really a megadungeon kind of guy. But I do enjoy some combat. Let's say 50:50 RP: combat ratio with it being ok if the roleplay is higher up to 100:0 I am looking for an online weekly or fortnightly table that is sometime from 6:00 PM to 7:00 AM AEDT except for on Saturday and Monday where it is from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM AEDT Even though my most played game is DnD, I enjoy playing other systems like Alien the roleplaying Game, Pathfinder and others. I am always down to learn a new game. If you made it this far, I hope I have left a good impression. My favourite video game at the moment is Baldur's Gate 3, My favourite books are Brandon Sanderson Cosmere and Star Trek Q-Squared and finally my dream job is to be a video game programmer.

Chronicled

Worldbuilding
Free
Chronicled is currently in active development, so features discussed or shown in screenshots may change. Chronicled takes a world you describe once, genre, tone, factions, whatever you've already got, and generates NPCs, enemies, items, faction lore, and portraits that actually sound like they belong to that world specifically. Everything comes with matching portrait art and gets filed automatically into a searchable archive, so fifty entries later it still reads like one consistent world instead of a pile of scattered notes. It's currently in a small, limited beta: free to try, no strings, I just want real feedback from people actually building worlds. /images/general-media/1785334936_hd27gUuS.webpGenerated Enemy Entry Links chronicled.world - Official website
