[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 9247471, member: 27252"] Actually, this isn’t quite correct. The original 1983 Warhammer 1st edition box set has a couple of notable things: Firstly, it was billed as a mass combat miniatures game but was [I]also[/I] a roleplaying game. It came with three booklets, the third of which is literally a rulebook for how to roleplay and advance characters and includes an introductory scenario. Contrary to what many remember, the original Warhammer game was built with roleplaying in mind for campaign development. Secondly, it barely had any developed setting. This came later, thought the release of Warhammer 2nd edition (1984) but primarily through the 1986 release of the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay game (which we all now know as WFRP 1st edition) which established most of the lore. It was only with really the advent of Warhammer Fantasy Battles 3rd edition (1987) that the two things went their own ways directly. As such, WFRP 1e wasn’t based on the WFB setting but actually the other way round. [/QUOTE]
