Here's the full announcement!

The Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Fourth Edition pre-order opens later this week! To whet your appetite, here are 4 things you can expect from the new edition of this beloved game.

Your Warhammer for You!
Something that is really core to our WFRP is that we’ve created tools for you to play your Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. We recognise and support that everyone plays their own version of the rules and the setting, and we fully embrace and encourage that. It’s your game! With 30 years of history under its belt, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay means a lot of things to a huge number of players.

Ideal starting point
Not much experience with RPGs? The Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Starter Set is designed to be the ideal introduction, with a structured adventure to help you learn how to play. Also containing a guide to Ubersreik, there’s loads of gaming material for more experienced GMs too!

System matters
WFRP4 uses ten-sided dice, and a tuned-up version of the familiar d100 system. You can tailor the rules to your preferences or different in-game situations, choosing from a menu of fast ‘roll under’ Simple Tests, Dramatic Tests giving success levels where you need more than a ‘yes or no’ result, and even barely rolling at all, if that’s your style.

Passion for Warhammer
Our creative team are lifelong players of the three previous editions of the game, and between us we’ve worked on all these editions too! We bloomin’ love Warhammer, and we think it shows.

We’ll be bringing you more on WFRP4 regularly, so watch this space! And, very excitingly, pre-orders go live on Thursday…


Keep an eye out for the pre-orders to open tomorrow at the Cubicle 7 store!

I was a *huge* fan of 2e WHFRPG, and would run games in that system again. I will wait for more info before deciding if I am buying it.

But if I like what I see, I *definitely* am buying it.

What is the difference between Warhammer and Zweihander? Similar systems? I never played Warhammer but have recently played Zweihander and really like it.

Zweihander is to WFRP 2 as Pathfinder is to D&D 3.5... Mechanically distinct, but clearly derived from it. If you liked Zweihander in tone and mechanics, odds are WFRP4 will also scratch similar itches...

Once I read this quote: "Warhammer, the rpg where the players believe they are playing Dungeons and Dragons, but the Game Master knows they are playing the Call of Chulthu".

I think that was Games Workshop's design strategy when they commissioned the game - make a fantasy game like CoC

That was the explicit goal of the adventure Shadows Over Bogenhafen.
Yes, Enemy Within came AFTER the creation of the game. Early WFRP adventures reveal how these writers didn't really know what to do with their game: modules are much more D&D-like, with loads of monsters to fight.

It is only with the humano-centric "civilized fantasy" of Enemy Within that Warhammer really comes into its own, if you ask me.

I have zero interest in the world described by the tabletop war game. Yet, the world painted by Enemy Within is probably my favorite RPG campaign world of all! ☺

The Enemy Within campaign were the first adventures written for the game weren't they - except Oldenhaller contract - which is pretty gritty and not like D&D particularly.

Doomstones and a few now-obscure adventures were decidedly non-withinian.

When I say I'm a huge WFRP fan, what I specifically mean, is the kind of gameplay heralded by Enemy Within. ☺
