Realms of Sorcery is sold out now, so if you see it, you might consider grabbing a copy.

Not that sold out

Not that sold out

Sorry, it is out of stock at Black Industries according to their website.

As are the following products:

Core Rules Collector's Edition
Character Pack <-- I like this one a lot.
GM Pack
Children of the Horned Rat
Old World Bestiary
Forges of Nuln <-- Interesting... only the third of the trilogy is sold out

#2 WHFRP Bestiary- the best creature book out there for production values and flavor text, bar none.

Don't forget to add that it's horribly expensive for its size.

It's a beautiful looking book that I'd love to own, I just... can't justify buying it because it's so thin and its price. Especially since it's for a game I'm not likely to play anytime soon.

Well, it is a "Warhammer" product we're talking about. So take whatever it looks like it should cost and multiply by 3.

#1 Sigmar's Heirs- assuming you're wanting to run your game in the Empire, this book is essential for doing so. While the maps aren't great, the background material is invaluable.

Sigmar's heirs was MISSING 3 bloody chapters. Instead of having the full write ups on Altdorf, Middenhein and Nuln, they put one chapter of each in the paths of the damned books to pad those out. :\

I really like Karak Azgal. I kept it when I sold off the core book & bestiary.

I have purchased everything for WFRP2 and find Renegade Crowns to be the least useful book, even the initial adventures series, the Paths of the Damned, had some useful information here and there. The Companion has a few handy game concepts but nothing major.

The fiction is fairly dreadful, I stick to Jack Yeovil, Brian Craig and Gordon Rennie and some of the collections of short stories. If you can find The Vampire Genevieve omnibus you will be reading some of the best Warhammer fiction ever.

A couple of notes, RoS isn't sold out, The Bestiary is, unless you want to pay through the nose for it or pick it up at a convention. There is no Realms of Chaos for WFRP2, but there is a Tome of Corruption, which has been followed by the recent Tome of Salvation.
