Welcome back to the Old World.
Prepare yourself for the struggle of the gutter, to fight for your
survival, and to face corruption on all sides. Prepare yourself for
danger, as it is everywhere, and you can’t face it alone. And, most of
all, prepare yourself for the grim and perilous adventure of Warhammer
Fantasy Roleplay!
The fourth edition of the original dark fantasy roleplaying game,
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay takes you back to the world where Chaos never
sleeps. Drawing inspiration from the legendary early publications of the
grimdark RPG, WFRP brings innovative twists to build on the beloved
classic.
It’s YOUR hammer!
The world of Warhammer has a decades long legacy of great games,
spectacular storytelling, and awesome adventures. The expansive world of
Warhammer means something different to everyone – particularly when
interpreting the rules is concerned!
We want you to play in your interpretation of the Old World with your
version of the rules, so we’ve created a host of tools to help customize
WFRP to taste. After all, it’s your game.
System Matters
WFRP brings back a variation of the familiar d100 system with a few
innovative twists. You can keep the action fast with Simple Tests and
lean into that classic crunch with Dramatic Tests - customize your game
with a combination of both.
Combat is savage and bombastic, with every melee a rollercoaster of
contested rolls. The new Advantage mechanic adds momentum and drama to
every encounter, meaning less whiffing and more brutal critical hits!
A Grim World of Perilous Adventure
The Bad Moon rises, the winds of magic blow, and ears are turned by the
murmurs of the ruinous powers...
The Old World setting is famed for its originality and richness, and
we’ve brought that to the fore. Adventure through a smorgasbord with
snooty nobles and putrid peasants, through terrifying horrors and darkly
comedic scenarios.
Something old, something new…
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay has a massive back catalog bristling with
vile beasts, strange sorceries and grubby fantasy adventures, and
there’s a place in our heart reserved for all of them.
Director’s cuts and refreshed rewrites of these legendary classics will
bring that same joy from decades past to newcomers, whilst adding enough
optional changes and improvements to please any Old World veteran.
Pick up and Play
With mutated chaos cultists, savage greenskins, and rumours of rodents
of unusual size, the Old World may seem intimidating and dangerous.
...It is!
But don’t fret, we’ve created the Starter Set to teach you how to play
and introduce you to the setting while you’re having fun. Ideal for
first time RPG players, the adventure teaches the rules step-by-step,
and the included Guide to Ubersreik is brimming with intriguing info on
the Warhammer world – perfect for newbies or as an expansion to any
existing campaign.
Passionate Fans
Our creative team are lifelong Warhammer fans and hobbyists - we haven't
just played all three previous editions of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay,
between us we've worked on them all too! We bloomin' love Warhammer, and
we hope it shows through the game we want to share with you.
Stick a feather in your hennin hat, grab your zweihander, and unleash
your small but vicious dog; it's time to stand against Chaos - or at
least put a few pfennigs in your pocket.
