[QUOTE="drakhe, post: 342590, member: 4930"] This is a GREAT looking book with fantastic art. It does include some info on the world of WFRP but it is far from complete and in places even very sparse. Problem with the WFRP world is that it's info is very fragmentary, especialy since there have never been any proper campaign books. Getting all the info together would be a costly affair and frankly, you'd be better off playing the original WFRP game if you spend that much money. One major problem with Warhammer is: Games Workshop ! Why? Well, 2 reasons... 1) There is a difference between the WH world as described in the mini's game and in the RPG! There actualy is a point where the timelines in both games go their own ways. GW is pushing very hard to get both timelines on the same track! (but then see point2) 2) GW is a very hard master to please. Hogshead is now publishing WFRP and their release schedule is totaly dependant of GW. They want to have their say on each and every letter in each publication. (I heard about strict control over product from for instance Lucasfilm over all things starwars, ask decipher, but GW is another matter altogether) Based on how GW wants to control the WH world I fear we'll never see a detailed campaign setting! Hogshead won't get permission (though I hope GW may yet see the light) and GW has no need for a separate campaign setting since it adds nothing (except perhaps flavor) to their mini games. [/QUOTE]
