Aw man, fuck. I'm a broke ass dude, so I won't be enjoying Patreon content any time soon, but hell yeah! About time you guys take the next step. I hope this doesn't mean you guys will be less active with us plebs here on TH-cam.
Every "bosses" we met in this game ended up being killed by the same player, with the same shitty stolen crossbow, in one hugely lucky hit. There was a long period of time between the "last boss" and the one before, like two careers had past. When we finally faced him, we were all about to die. Nothing was working out. As a list ditched effort we all looked at each others and screamed : "The boss-slayer! Hurry!" The shooter dropped his guns and his powerful magical shit. Fished for the old crappy crossbow, and fired. Ten after ten after ten after ten. That crossbow was then donated to a temple of Ulric.
I really like that you donated the crossbow to a temple... it might become magical. I sometimes rules randomly that once in a while when you accomplish something awesome with a normal item... the "deed" infuse the item with magic.
Yeah, I remember the days of D&D panic. My friend was allowed to buy various WH books including a book titled "Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness", but "no D&D that was Satanic".
That resonated with me too; my folks thought d&d was evil (according to their church friends) but we're perfectly happy for me to engage with the dark grimness of warhammer, fantasy and 40k.
19:00 I imagine a Diviner's personality being more like Luna Lovegood. Very lost and dreamlike. Being able to see not only the future or the past, but things that are currently happening very far away might be distracting.
I'll be real, this video kind of sold me on a game I didn't have interest in (and frankly when I first clicked this video I thought it was about the 40K tabletop).
I really enjoy Pruit and Jim's back and forth, they both bring so much to the table as DM/Gms and players. I always look forward to each Wednesday to see what comes out next and I'm always hooked! That to me speaks volumes about their personalities and their knowledge on each subject and showing us that they are having FUN! Love the show, love the community, love you guys at Web DM. Keep up the great work.
I have all the pdfs and I am looking for a group. I am GM. Anyone interested? I already have a local group but the players are begginers. I was looking for someone around my age (40s or late 30s).
I’ve still got the good doctors crit tables printed off with my WFRP 2e stuff.....the phrase “you have nicked the spleen” still gives my players shudders lol
I like the concepts of chaos being this thing that wouldn't be a problem if people were just good to each other and not complete animals. The idea that "we wouldn't be at constant risk of destruction if you all would just act sensible!" That creates so much potential for stories! Philosophical, magical, humorous even! I love it!
Chaos feeds off negative emotions from sentient beings. Both 40k and warhammer fantasy are connected through the realm of chaos or warp in 40k. Its 2 universes connected through hell.
Warhammer Fantasy is my favorite fantasy universe PERIOD, closely followed by Warcraft, but I've never touched this game! I based a lot of my home-brew setting on Warhammer, its so good. Low fantasy and yet High fantasy at the same time. I'm totally picking this up to see if I can put some of the rules into my game too! Keep it up guys! Love these kind of videos you guys do!
Inquisitor Thomas meanwhile it sells better then fantasy battle has for years lol also for both of you they are making an TT rpg for AOS and old world so thats nice
Coldrage20 T Gameplay wise I totally understand why Age of Sigmar has done so well, that being said, I hate the Fluff compared to Old Warhammer Fantasy.
Warcraft borrows heavily from warhammer, love them both. I too borrow a lot from warhammer for dnd, and other games. Cult of Nergal in Vampire the Masquerade :)
I actually managed to get my hands on the 1st edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay core rulebook earlier this morning. I think i am falling in love with this rules heavy system.
Web DM: the rebellion TH-cam show by 80s children whose religious parents said "No" to D&D. A lesson to all parents saying no to gamer children - you will be outed on our show - lol.
@@bluemagician9724 As a fellow religious individual this brings me much joy! Honestly the hard thing to get through to some is that D&D is what you make of it. It is a mechanic for story telling and, honestly, I'd rather be playing with my kid and teaching him about love, hope, and faith using the game rather than him playing it elsewhere and getting God only knows what kind of ideas. Good game manners start at the home table ya know.
A episode on WFRP, and a promise for a 40K episode? It's like Christmas came early. Also, it's been like 10 years since I've been to a Whataburger, but I've only just now realized how much I miss them. I really wish there was one closer to me, can't really justify a four hour trip, no matter how good they are.
I disagree with your comment about the difference between Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, there is no difference. It's just that you're not the legendery lord on his giffon wielding a magical hammer, you're the nameless nobody standing in the third row of spearmen trying desperately not to soil himself as some mutated monstosity charges your battle line. You're in the same world as these great heros, you'll just never be on their level, at best you'll become an officer/specialist under their employ.
I always wanted to play this. Back in the '90s I bought it and when I brought it home, my mother immediately threw it in the trash because she thought it was evil. Used copies of that book are crazy expensive now.
Thanks for the review, guys. By the way, the entire Warhammer Fantasy RPG 2nd Edition run is available on high quality PDF from Humble Bundle until 26 September 2017 for $20 US. Stay well!
This definitely got me interested in finding these materials. Thanks for another entertaining show gentlemen. Always love the snippets of casual chat at the end as well.
I've had the 1ed rule book for almost 20 years and it was in rough shape then. I just picked a newer one up for $10 at a used store and can't wait to get use out of it now.
I know it's been years But you're the reason I really got into warhammer fantasy. But Zweihander should get a look-over if you get the chance. I hear it's based off of 2nd edition warhammer fantasy. So I think an review from you would be pretty good. :)
I know old video, but I'll comment nonetheless. My group sometimes dabbles in WH, and we had a guy who had never played. His character was a sharpshooter, he leaned real heavy into his rifle, accuracy, spent all his money on equipment, all that jazz. His literal first roll of the game - fumble shooting it - gun blows up in his face, I think blinded him. He throws it in the canal and never played WH again. It was hilarious, I don't think I could have defined a more "Warhammer" moment then that.
I'd love it if you guys did a superhero tabletop episode like on Mutants and Masterminds or Heroic RPG. Im pretty certain Im not the only superhero fan watching you guys it would be cool to see you guys cover a tabletop not set in a fantasy-verse like D&D.
This was my first TableTop RPG experience! I would meet everyday with my friends every Wednesday and we would play after school until about 10 (about 6 or so hours) and we played Shadows over Boghenhafen (the one that was mentioned) and some other adventure that had something to do with crystals of power. I died so many times thanks to that damn random injury chart! Highest character count to date as well with 12 character deaths over the span of a year!
The Ability to switch between comedy and terror, really makes for a great gaming experience. We had characters on 8 careers or more... and despite that.... the game still felt dangerous, and sometimes they still died. You never become unkillable in WFRP. Enemy within awesome campaighn...... anyone wanting to play it, quite likely the pdf's are online somewhere. Played 1st edition only, l;ooking forward to trying 4th. (yes 4th edition is about to be released, but not by GW, obviously)
I had a D&D box of one version or another, but didn't get to play it except alone, as a friend's mom was of the "no D&D (but absolutely anything else is ok)" camp as well. So we played WEG Star Wars, Shadowrun 2nd edition, Rifts, and Warhammer FRP 1st edition. Eventually I think we got exiled because of the content of WHFRP...but after a talk with his parents and letting them read the books and observe that no one was summoning demons or worshipping the devil, we were allowed back. Funnily enough, we played 1st edition right alongside 2nd edition for awhile. Love this game. We played from the rulebook alone (for some of our games, others we used some other material but for SOME of our games we only used the rulebook) for well over a decade. I accquired a first edition rulebook on eBay awhile ago and getting set to introduce my kids to it (they've been playing 40k since the launch of 8th, and on and off we've roleplayed a few sessions here and there of various rpgs). Age of Sigmar takes place after the destruction of the world in Warhammer FRP. It's getting its own rpg, not sure if its going to use the same system as WHFRP, which is currently in its 4th edition being done by Cubicle 7 as the successor to 2nd edition, and pretending that 3rd edition never existed.
Excellent RPG. Nice to see that I'm not the only one old enough to remember HeroQuest/Advanced HeroQuest as a "gateway drug" LOL! Blood Bowl played a big part as well, back when it was making the change from cardboard to lead minis. Ah, good times.
The best weapon the Ork army has is in 40k: the Shokk Attakk Gun "An insane, super huge gun carried exclusively by Big Meks. This rotating monstrosity sucks up Snotlings through a tube and then somehow fires them via a warp rift into the target (literally). The poor Snotling sees chaos daemons during his travel and leaves the tunnel deranged and completely apeshit crazy. Crazy enough in fact that he will rip a Space Marine's two hearts out from inside his armour"
I'm just about to start DMing the 4th edition that came out about a year after this video was released. Got a Bawd, Coachman, Slayer and Apothecary living in a tavern while taxation riots are going on outside. You talked a lot about the ideas of fighting chaos etc, but honestly I think WhFRP provides a fantastic method for urban campaigns as well. Things like gangs, yobbery, riots and similar urban tensions are legitimately tense with the degree to which your character is vulnerable. As you say, a trained greatsword can raid a village and if they're not careful or get unlucky, they can be walking (or crawling) away with serious injuries.
I know my first character for WFRP was the road warden Fritz Luduvico Gewehrhardt Franzfiddler and yes for the joke he made people address him by his full name each time. He was born in Wissenland. He would never go out when morrslieb was full because his Dooming was "Thy last breath is drawn by Morrsleib’s light." and he always needed his lucky earing
The core set of third edition is pretty cheap now. It's alot of fun and honestly I wish it had been more popular. I always thought the career system was pretty cool. Helped flesh out all my players characters. I personally still pull warhammer monsters against my players in 5e. Nothing like a war hydra to shake up a party.
Just signed up to your Patreon- can't wait for the regular WebDM podcast! I'm running a regular Roll20 campaign in my own campaign setting at the moment, and I've gained a lot from your concise and experienced repartee on these episodes. I've actually never played Warhammer, but this episode definitely makes me want to pick it up. Hope to enjoy a lot more fantastic content from you guys!
Ran some friends through a WFRP 2nd ed game for the better part of a year. There was a brothel full of undead girls run by Slaaneshi cultists involved, and one of the PC's dwarfs ended up growing a tail. Damn good times. I miss that game, and that group.
when you roll a slayer with alcoolism and "inner beast" major insanity but you ended up with 4 unused fate points "looks like we are going for a long one !"
Love the Warhammer world. Absolutely hated how GW destroyed it, but at the very least it now has the name Malleus. Speaking of Zweihander, the folks who made it have been officially contracted to make the next edition of warhammer fantasy role play.
That is literally no where in that statement. lol It just says they will support it when it shows up in a physical store. They aren't working together but doing 2 totally different things that relate distantly from a common ancestry in the ruleset as inspiration.
There's always the D&D B/X hack hack called "Small but Vicious Dog" that is pretty much a bootlegged version of WHFR but using the D&D B/X ruleset. It's pretty neat!
Humble RPG Book Bundle WARHAMMER bring me here! And I decide to give it a try. I'm the gm-wanabe of a small group of my fellow-nerd-friend player. We love to face some challenge together. Tired of ever-repeated digital game. And I was into MTG and other physical game before so I bring table top game to them. Then I learned about RPG. But sadly there's no GM or DM or even any physical game shop nearby. I try so many rule set of other free RPG but it's hard for me who are inexperience to create the believable and enjoyable adventure. So I was looking for a good RPG with solid setting I could start with. And this video encourage me to give it a try with this huge pile of PDF book bundle. wish me luck.
Warhammer Fantasy's Old World was destroyed in the End Times, Chaos won. Later the winds of magic each formed a world and some characters such as Sigmar and Nagash awoke as Gods and somehow repopulated each of the new worlds, called the Mortal Realms. Age of Sigmar takes place a couple thousand years afterwards when Chaos is about to destroy the Mortal Realms and win again.
Yeah, they got me with Warhammer 40K. Which I still love. I would put together models, but only the ones my dad got me, which were always WWII fighters and bombers which he liked. I forget who got it for me, but someone got me a Rhino and some Space Marines which I loved. Had no idea what they were used for. Thought they were just cool models to look at. When I found the Horus Heresy books around 2008ish I was hooked all over again. Still haven't ever played a game since people out where I live are as ignorant of the existence of Warhammer as they are convinced D&D will invoke Satan somehow.
Im currently building a large region of my world to be inspired by Warhammer Fantasy. Working on the Lizardfolk and Kobolds in the swampy jungle at the moment. Lots of fun.
Still cherish my first edition first print book. Typos, errors and wrong tables and all. Played the whole enemy within campaign as well. Loved it to bits. We still have a 2nd edition campaign running. I can strongly recommend it.
Great vid , loving the Trauma Surgeons Crit tables At the end you folks mentioned Zweihänder. I've just ordered the P.O.D & it came with a free PDF. looking forward to seeing it in print. & now C7 have plans to unleash WFRP 4e That has just gone on pre - Order I may well get that Christmas.
i've recently been introduced to warhammer through total war and i really like it. i love the grittiness, the realism (with things like practical armor and guns), and politics- the things i feel are missing in DND, or is at least a different flavor. the only things i don't like are the landsknecht aesthetic and the fact that dwarves and skaven are borderline sci fi races (seriously, helicopters and ray guns?)
Cool video! Humble Bundle had a really great promotion for a ton of WH: Fantasy roleplay 2nd Ed ebooks and it even came with the 1st ed book. I've yet to read or play it, but sounds like a cool system! Rumors are that an Age of Sigmar RPG system for 2018 is coming. Given your Spelljammer video, I think you would like AOS since the setting basically became that. I had never played Warhmmaer before AOS, but I'm looking back to the origins and sources of the setting. They're both pretty cool in their own right.
Yeah Everyone loves 'The Enemy Within'. Would really like you guys to do a video on 'best modules ever', or 'most influential modules ever'. You could do stuff like 'keep on the border lands', and 'Death Frost Doom' (Old and new), and talk about what was so good about these modules, and how you would update them now (keep needs a bit more of a 'meta' tie in, so the evil alter is activly assembling monsters and chaning their behavior. Would be very cool to see.
Used to love Warhammer RPG... best moment was when the mage hadn't successful identified a potion - thought it was a potion of flying and gave it to the assassin... Later the assassin was trapped in the battlements of a castle with guards coming in from every side so swigged the potion and leapt of the wall... at this point he realises that the potion wasn't Fly... "Never mind I'll land in the moat" he said... at which point GM revealed the potion was a potion of Waterwalking
While the planet of WHFB didn't have a name, the Old World was the lands of the empire and dwarves and such, being the very European part of it and contrasting heavily with the New World, which is the lands of Lustria and such
Loved this video. Warhammer 2nd edition was one of my first non DnD games I got, didnt play it much but I did steal from it. You might check out Shadow of the Demonlord, its best described as DnD meets Warhammer, developed by Robert J. Schwalb who worked a lot on warhammer 2nd and DnD over the years.
*Please cover more Warhammer Fantasy Role-play ( any edition ) .* I happen to own a demonstration copy of Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play 1st Edition . I might do a series of video covering the content of the book and other Table top RolePlaying games .
I played this game many moons ago. I was an Elven bounty hunter. I hid my career from my human counterparts, who wouldn't tolerate my presence in their lands, because secretly I was searching for some hidden treasure. I survived many fights, often with less hitpoints than my party... I eventually decided to have a voluntary lobotomy to stop the voices in my head. Took one step out of the hospital and got lynched by an angry mob who thought I was a heretic. Best game ever.

Jim Davis thanks! I'm now even more annoyed that my group played Pendragon while I was away. I guess I'd better get cracking on tracking down a copy of the Masks!
3rd edition Warhammer was not without it's faults but I really love the dice mechanic it uses. It's the basis for the current Star Wars RPG system. And honestly having cards for all the actions players make makes game play run super fast. Some folks found buy in expensive but included 2d minis and stat block cards for almost every npc, monster or villain in each adventure. So... I didn't mind that. The line was in serious need of better editing though. Yeesh
Game designers need to put you two on the payroll. After watching this episode I found myself s outing the interwebz for 2nd edition PDFs. I must play this game.
Warhammer? Ennemy within? Hero Quest!? All in one episode!?? daaaaaaaaaamn what an episode. More non-dnd stuff plz, it was so interesting you need to do more on that stuff. I'd be curious on how you adapt warhammer to dnd or things like that
I kinda like the idea that Khorne is necessary for the continued existence of organic life. Like, yeah you can kill Khorne... but then all blood everywhere just completely stops.

I'll be real, this video kind of sold me on a game I didn't have interest in (and frankly when I first clicked this video I thought it was about the 40K tabletop).
The 40k roleplay, at least the Dark Heresy line is excellent and follows many of the same tropes as WFRP.
40k has several Roleplay games: Dark Heresy, Black Crusade(you play on the side of Chaos), Only War, Death Watch, Wrath and Glory, and Rogue Trader.
I really enjoy Pruit and Jim's back and forth, they both bring so much to the table as DM/Gms and players. I always look forward to each Wednesday to see what comes out next and I'm always hooked!

Warhammer Fantasy was definitely my favorite RPG. Grim, gritty realism coupled with fantastical monsters and excellent fluff.

It's just that you're not the legendery lord on his giffon wielding a magical hammer, you're the nameless nobody standing in the third row of spearmen trying desperately not to soil himself as some mutated monstosity charges your battle line.

As an avid D&D nerd, and an even more hardcore Warhammer fan I cannot smash the like button hard enough

probably a bad mic
Look at the dome behind them: think they shot this at another part of the room. Sounds like cement or brick walls.
Sounds like the work of Chaos to me.
oh wow ! Warhammer is my love for the last 20 years !! tabletop, but whole fluff world in general....right up to AoS...
All the grim & perilous adventure of WFRP meets the high production value of WebDM! Two great tastes that taste great together!

John Blanche art is WARHAMMER for me, whenever i imagine the warhammer world it is through a john blanche lens
Loved Warhammer Fantasy RPG back in the day (1st ed.), played soooo much if it. Were some bloody memorable moments.
pretty much my favorite RPG ever.
I know it's been years
But you're the reason I really got into warhammer fantasy.
But Zweihander should get a look-over if you get the chance. I hear it's based off of 2nd edition warhammer fantasy. So I think an review from you would be pretty good. :)
Personally I use the Zweihander system to run Warhammer setting games and it's really fantastic. I think it's a pretty underrated system tbh.
@@GodfathersGodfathernet Yeah, I know. It's more or less the same.
Orkz, the physical embodiment of positive thinking.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the 4th edition WHFR.
I used to have 2nd edition WFRPG and it was very fun. I only played a couple times, but death was brutal!
I know old video, but I'll comment nonetheless. My group sometimes dabbles in WH, and we had a guy who had never played. His character was a sharpshooter, he leaned real heavy into his rifle, accuracy, spent all his money on equipment, all that jazz. His literal first roll of the game - fumble shooting it - gun blows up in his face, I think blinded him. He throws it in the canal and never played WH again. It was hilarious, I don't think I could have defined a more "Warhammer" moment then that.
Whataburger is changing the game. I notice people at other fast food chains getting upset when they find out the medium is only 20 oz.
Huh
I'd love it if you guys did a superhero tabletop episode like on Mutants and Masterminds or Heroic RPG. Im pretty certain Im not the only superhero fan watching you guys it would be cool to see you guys cover a tabletop not set in a fantasy-verse like D&D.
I've played Marvel Superheroes RPG. I have Mutants and Masterminds and have made many characters but have never played. That needs to be remedied.
My roommate ran an Aberrant campaign loosely based on Heroes; all characters had one theme their powers were based around.
This was my first TableTop RPG experience! I would meet everyday with my friends every Wednesday and we would play after school until about 10 (about 6 or so hours) and we played Shadows over Boghenhafen (the one that was mentioned) and some other adventure that had something to do with crystals of power. I died so many times thanks to that damn random injury chart! Highest character count to date as well with 12 character deaths over the span of a year!
You might be thinking of the Doomstone Campaign - lots of orks v. goblins, little paper cutouts of the Doomstone artifacts.
Warhammer Fantasy RP 2nd was my first and still favorite rpg! Its amazing when done right
The Ability to switch between comedy and terror, really makes for a great gaming experience. We had characters on 8 careers or more... and despite that.... the game still felt dangerous, and sometimes they still died. You never become unkillable in WFRP. Enemy within awesome campaighn...... anyone wanting to play it, quite likely the pdf's are online somewhere. Played 1st edition only, l;ooking forward to trying 4th. (yes 4th edition is about to be released, but not by GW, obviously)
I had a D&D box of one version or another, but didn't get to play it except alone, as a friend's mom was of the "no D&D (but absolutely anything else is ok)" camp as well. So we played WEG Star Wars, Shadowrun 2nd edition, Rifts, and Warhammer FRP 1st edition. Eventually I think we got exiled because of the content of WHFRP...but after a talk with his parents and letting them read the books and observe that no one was summoning demons or worshipping the devil, we were allowed back.
Funnily enough, we played 1st edition right alongside 2nd edition for awhile. Love this game. We played from the rulebook alone (for some of our games, others we used some other material but for SOME of our games we only used the rulebook) for well over a decade. I accquired a first edition rulebook on eBay awhile ago and getting set to introduce my kids to it (they've been playing 40k since the launch of 8th, and on and off we've roleplayed a few sessions here and there of various rpgs).
Age of Sigmar takes place after the destruction of the world in Warhammer FRP. It's getting its own rpg, not sure if its going to use the same system as WHFRP, which is currently in its 4th edition being done by Cubicle 7 as the successor to 2nd edition, and pretending that 3rd edition never existed.
There's a certain flavor that Warhammer fantasy has that I adore.
Excellent RPG. Nice to see that I'm not the only one old enough to remember HeroQuest/Advanced HeroQuest as a "gateway drug" LOL! Blood Bowl played a big part as well, back when it was making the change from cardboard to lead minis. Ah, good times.
The magic sounds like Dungeon Crawl Classics' Mercurial magic system
The best weapon the Ork army has is in 40k: the Shokk Attakk Gun
"An insane, super huge gun carried exclusively by Big Meks. This rotating monstrosity sucks up Snotlings through a tube and then somehow fires them via a warp rift into the target (literally). The poor Snotling sees chaos daemons during his travel and leaves the tunnel deranged and completely apeshit crazy. Crazy enough in fact that he will rip a Space Marine's two hearts out from inside his armour"
The best part is the fact that the gun doesn't actually have any working parts, it simply does what it does because the orks believe it will.
My favorite Ork weapon, if you can call it that, is the lucky stick.
I'm just about to start DMing the 4th edition that came out about a year after this video was released. Got a Bawd, Coachman, Slayer and Apothecary living in a tavern while taxation riots are going on outside.
You talked a lot about the ideas of fighting chaos etc, but honestly I think WhFRP provides a fantastic method for urban campaigns as well. Things like gangs, yobbery, riots and similar urban tensions are legitimately tense with the degree to which your character is vulnerable. As you say, a trained greatsword can raid a village and if they're not careful or get unlucky, they can be walking (or crawling) away with serious injuries.
I know my first character for WFRP was the road warden Fritz Luduvico Gewehrhardt Franzfiddler and yes for the joke he made people address him by his full name each time. He was born in Wissenland. He would never go out when morrslieb was full because his Dooming was "Thy last breath is drawn by Morrsleib’s light." and he always needed his lucky earing
The core set of third edition is pretty cheap now. It's alot of fun and honestly I wish it had been more popular. I always thought the career system was pretty cool. Helped flesh out all my players characters. I personally still pull warhammer monsters against my players in 5e. Nothing like a war hydra to shake up a party.
Omg. I love that we had similar beginnings in our Roleplaying journey.
Heroquest-> warhammer fantasy-> everything else. Hahaha
Loved Hero Quest! Sadly, I think my copy probably was thrown out. Always on the lookout to find that big ol box again.
Just signed up to your Patreon- can't wait for the regular WebDM podcast! I'm running a regular Roll20 campaign in my own campaign setting at the moment, and I've gained a lot from your concise and experienced repartee on these episodes. I've actually never played Warhammer, but this episode definitely makes me want to pick it up. Hope to enjoy a lot more fantastic content from you guys!
Also, basically all of the cockney nerds I know *adore* the fact that the orcs are cockney, and they always run them that way.
The Warhammer orcs are the best orcs. They are the standard orcs in my mind
Beard4Charity Yeah I've definitely replaced mine with them.
Thanks for your support! I know you'll like the podcast.
I played D&D 1st. (AD&D 1e.) Than I played WFRP. (1e.) I really enjoy that "Old World" styled of game play. Thanks for the share!!
Ran some friends through a WFRP 2nd ed game for the better part of a year. There was a brothel full of undead girls run by Slaaneshi cultists involved, and one of the PC's dwarfs ended up growing a tail. Damn good times. I miss that game, and that group.
when you roll a slayer with alcoolism and "inner beast" major insanity
but you ended up with 4 unused fate points
"looks like we are going for a long one !"
Love the Warhammer world. Absolutely hated how GW destroyed it, but at the very least it now has the name Malleus. Speaking of Zweihander, the folks who made it have been officially contracted to make the next edition of warhammer fantasy role play.
Zweihander and Cubicle 7 are working together? I did not know that!!
Yep, official statement on the kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/grimandperilous/zweihander-grim-and-perilous-rpg/posts/1899452
That is literally no where in that statement. lol It just says they will support it when it shows up in a physical store. They aren't working together but doing 2 totally different things that relate distantly from a common ancestry in the ruleset as inspiration.
Jeremy Hunt yeah, I didn't see anything about the two collaborating. No biggie. I'm still looking forward to the cubicle 7 edition of wfrp.
Yeah bit of a goof on my part. Had that confused I think with the original announcement I saw a few months back.
Loved Hero Quest! Sadly, I think my copy probably was thrown out - ah family. Always on the lookout to find that big ol box again.
Warhammer the Old World is flat out the best fantasy setting period. Best magic system, no video game style "levels", its perfect.
I absolutely love warhammer fantasy. I love the critical table. The color is blood red
There's always the D&D B/X hack hack called "Small but Vicious Dog" that is pretty much a bootlegged version of WHFR but using the D&D B/X ruleset. It's pretty neat!
Warhammer orcs and goblins are proof that something can be both hilarious and terrifying at the same time.
Right there with you, Jim Davis. Love my Dawi.
Humble RPG Book Bundle WARHAMMER bring me here! And I decide to give it a try. I'm the gm-wanabe of a small group of my fellow-nerd-friend player. We love to face some challenge together. Tired of ever-repeated digital game. And I was into MTG and other physical game before so I bring table top game to them. Then I learned about RPG. But sadly there's no GM or DM or even any physical game shop nearby. I try so many rule set of other free RPG but it's hard for me who are inexperience to create the believable and enjoyable adventure. So I was looking for a good RPG with solid setting I could start with. And this video encourage me to give it a try with this huge pile of PDF book bundle. wish me luck.
Warhammer Fantasy's Old World was destroyed in the End Times, Chaos won. Later the winds of magic each formed a world and some characters such as Sigmar and Nagash awoke as Gods and somehow repopulated each of the new worlds, called the Mortal Realms. Age of Sigmar takes place a couple thousand years afterwards when Chaos is about to destroy the Mortal Realms and win again.
Yeah, they got me with Warhammer 40K. Which I still love. I would put together models, but only the ones my dad got me, which were always WWII fighters and bombers which he liked. I forget who got it for me, but someone got me a Rhino and some Space Marines which I loved. Had no idea what they were used for. Thought they were just cool models to look at. When I found the Horus Heresy books around 2008ish I was hooked all over again. Still haven't ever played a game since people out where I live are as ignorant of the existence of Warhammer as they are convinced D&D will invoke Satan somehow.
Im currently building a large region of my world to be inspired by Warhammer Fantasy. Working on the Lizardfolk and Kobolds in the swampy jungle at the moment. Lots of fun.
Still cherish my first edition first print book. Typos, errors and wrong tables and all. Played the whole enemy within campaign as well. Loved it to bits. We still have a 2nd edition campaign running. I can strongly recommend it.
Great vid , loving the Trauma Surgeons Crit tables
At the end you folks mentioned Zweihänder.
I've just ordered the P.O.D & it came with a free PDF.
looking forward to seeing it in print.
& now C7 have plans to unleash WFRP 4e
That has just gone on pre - Order
I may well get that Christmas.
As a man who has found and kept a first edition book, I feel praise worthy
Praise!
@@WebDM my time has come. I must ascend to godhood
"The setting is Grim and-"
"And Dark!"
one might say, Grimdark
i've recently been introduced to warhammer through total war and i really like it. i love the grittiness, the realism (with things like practical armor and guns), and politics- the things i feel are missing in DND, or is at least a different flavor. the only things i don't like are the landsknecht aesthetic and the fact that dwarves and skaven are borderline sci fi races (seriously, helicopters and ray guns?)
Having played 1:st Ed in the late 80s and later tried 2nd, we have returned to a slightly homecooked version of 1:st...
Cool video! Humble Bundle had a really great promotion for a ton of WH: Fantasy roleplay 2nd Ed ebooks and it even came with the 1st ed book. I've yet to read or play it, but sounds like a cool system!
Rumors are that an Age of Sigmar RPG system for 2018 is coming. Given your Spelljammer video, I think you would like AOS since the setting basically became that. I had never played Warhmmaer before AOS, but I'm looking back to the origins and sources of the setting. They're both pretty cool in their own right.
Games with crazy injury tables are great.
Yeah Everyone loves 'The Enemy Within'.
Would really like you guys to do a video on 'best modules ever', or 'most influential modules ever'.
You could do stuff like 'keep on the border lands', and 'Death Frost Doom' (Old and new), and talk about what was so good about these modules, and how you would update them now (keep needs a bit more of a 'meta' tie in, so the evil alter is activly assembling monsters and chaning their behavior.
Would be very cool to see.
"Which is what Games-Workshop does."
It's funny because it's true.
Used to love Warhammer RPG... best moment was when the mage hadn't successful identified a potion - thought it was a potion of flying and gave it to the assassin... Later the assassin was trapped in the battlements of a castle with guards coming in from every side so swigged the potion and leapt of the wall... at this point he realises that the potion wasn't Fly... "Never mind I'll land in the moat" he said... at which point GM revealed the potion was a potion of Waterwalking
Ker-splat? :P
While the planet of WHFB didn't have a name, the Old World was the lands of the empire and dwarves and such, being the very European part of it and contrasting heavily with the New World, which is the lands of Lustria and such
This is a great video but I'm curious about the choices on set. WFRP video in D&D shirts with D&D books all over the table...
Loved this video. Warhammer 2nd edition was one of my first non DnD games I got, didnt play it much but I did steal from it. You might check out Shadow of the Demonlord, its best described as DnD meets Warhammer, developed by Robert J. Schwalb who worked a lot on warhammer 2nd and DnD over the years.
Ohhhhh? I will check it out!
*Please cover more Warhammer Fantasy Role-play ( any edition ) .*
I happen to own a demonstration copy of Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play 1st Edition .
I might do a series of video covering the content of the book and other Table top RolePlaying games .
What do you think of running CoS using WHFRP 2nd?
I don't see why not. It feels right to me.
I played this game many moons ago. I was an Elven bounty hunter. I hid my career from my human counterparts, who wouldn't tolerate my presence in their lands, because secretly I was searching for some hidden treasure. I survived many fights, often with less hitpoints than my party... I eventually decided to have a voluntary lobotomy to stop the voices in my head. Took one step out of the hospital and got lynched by an angry mob who thought I was a heretic. Best game ever.
Warhammer RPG books are on sale as PDFs on the Humble Bundle for $20 for all of 1st and 2nd Edition. It's over in 5 days!
www.humblebundle.com/books/warhammer-rpg-books
If you guys do a video about classless DnD campaigns that'd be awesome.
Hmmm...that would be an interesting challenge. I'll put it on the list.
This was great, but now I am really curious about Jim's other 2 modules in his top 3
Pershoreify Masks of Nyrlathotep and the Great Pendragon Campaign.
Jim Davis thanks! I'm now even more annoyed that my group played Pendragon while I was away. I guess I'd better get cracking on tracking down a copy of the Masks!
Chaosium just announced a new version of it coming updated for 7th ed Cthulhu
3rd edition Warhammer was not without it's faults but I really love the dice mechanic it uses. It's the basis for the current Star Wars RPG system. And honestly having cards for all the actions players make makes game play run super fast. Some folks found buy in expensive but included 2d minis and stat block cards for almost every npc, monster or villain in each adventure. So... I didn't mind that. The line was in serious need of better editing though. Yeesh
Hero Quest was my gateway drug too!
Jim should do a war hammer show or the both of them where jim just explains warhammer. I've never played it but this has gotten me very interested.
th-cam.com/play/PL4a6HmwLLXpe4wMaTHeiNum4NCJVE43WR.html
Here's a liveplay run by Jim and which also has Pruitt playing
Game designers need to put you two on the payroll. After watching this episode I found myself s outing the interwebz for 2nd edition PDFs. I must play this game.
Warhammer? Ennemy within? Hero Quest!? All in one episode!?? daaaaaaaaaamn what an episode. More non-dnd stuff plz, it was so interesting you need to do more on that stuff. I'd be curious on how you adapt warhammer to dnd or things like that
I kinda like the idea that Khorne is necessary for the continued existence of organic life. Like, yeah you can kill Khorne... but then all blood everywhere just completely stops.
