[UPDATED - With Cubicle 7] Games Workshop Concluding Deal For Licensing Rights To Warhammer Fantasy

Either Cubicle 7 or Modiphius.

You got it; I see the same thing listed for the WFRP books I've purchased at DTRPG. Well spotted!

Now lets pray for a setting that's more traditional not Age of Sigmar.

No! Cubicle 7?! Shoot now I'm going to have to get this one too....


I've been loving thier stuff.

Cubicle7 has acquired the rights for distribution of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Looking in DriveThruRPG:

I'd super happy if Fria Ligan picked it up.

Cheers,

Good call. I hadn't even thought of Fria Ligan. They've done a fantastic job with Mutant Year Zero and I'm excited for Coriolis and Tales from the Loop. I think they would do a bang up job with WFRPG.

Does that cover the original Warhammer Fantasy or (and?) Age of Sigmar?

Has Cubicle 7 created any of their own game systems? I'm mainly familiar with them through their BRP games (Laundry Files and World War Cthulhu) and their
translations of French games (Qin, Yggdrasil).

They license properties like LotR and Doctor Who, but they created their own systems for them. The One Ring and the Doctor Who game both have excellent systems which exactly match the flavour, IMO. I'm especially fond of the Doctor Who initiative system and the TOR travel system.

Well, The One Ring is an original design, and so is Lone Wolf Adventure Game, though I don't think the designers were C7 employees; do those count? I believe their Doctor Who RPG is an original, too, but don't own it and so know less about who designed it.

 

[Wolvercote]

I'd be happy with a 5e setting book.

 

[Curmudjinn]

Yesssss! C7!

 

[Scrivener of Doom]

Surely I am not alone in wanting to see an official Old World adaptation for Shadow of the Demon Lord?

 

[Curmudjinn]

I'm really interested how they handle magic and the corrupting influence of the warp.

I was *very* fond of the 2nd ed rules, I used them to run both warhammers games and a pretty epic pseudo-earth middle-east/silk road campaign ... wasn't so impressed with 3rd edition. Looking forward to seeing what they will do with this.

Just being able to get the PDF for the 2nd ed rules is good, in case I return to it one day. Book won't last forever.

 

[Stig Beite Løken]

Two hopes: 1) Set in the Old World 2) Rules based (and developed from) 2E.

 

[aramis erak]

Rocket Age and DW:AIT&S use the same core mechanics, IIRC. (On casual glances, they seemed to, but not being a fan of Dr Who, I never really read DW:AIT&S....

They support at least 6 different engines and at least 10 game lines already...

And they are slow as molasses, but worth the wait.

 

[rabindranath72]

Wow big news! I have always been a big fan of WFRP, my favoured edition (rules-wise) is 2e, although I prefer the setting of 1e. The C7 guys I think can be trusted to deliver an exceptional product.

 

[Charles Rampant]

I wonder if the licence even includes Age of Sigmar; I could see that being a separate property. To be honest, you could do Age of Sigmar pretty easily in 5e, as its assumptions on magic and power are much closer to D&D high fantasy than they are to the Old World setting's grim and grit.

 

[Will Doyle]

2nd ed rules chassis with 1ed setting would make me very happy.

 

[fritsk]

I've got a big pile of 2nd edition. This will be a hard sell as the first inclination of a publisher with a new edition is to redo all the core stuff. Ah well, as long as they get rid of all the 3rd edition game specific gubbins and limit themselves to pen&paper and standard dice it'll be ok.
Or maybe not if they have to conform to AoS...

 

[chibi graz'zt]

ugh, another edition?!?
