[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9233954, member: 6796661"] In addition to the Dresden Files, I've also been diving into Warhammer Fantasy lore. Most of that has been from the 4th edition rulebooks and adventures. But I've also been listening to podcasts on Warhammer lore and reading various Warhammer wikis, blogs, and forums and hanging out on the Ratcatcher's Discord server. I'm just trying to soak in the lore and feel in prep for my new Ubersreik campaign. I'm rather intimidated by the 30+ years of Warhammer canon and I don't intend to try to get "caught up" or hew closely to canon. You don't really need that to run the game. Warhammer lore shouldn't work for me, but it does. In some ways it is just a lazy kitchen sink of loosely abstracted real-world cultures and D&D / Tolkien fantasy tropes. Yet mixed together and simmered for 30 years, it has created a tasty and filling result in a way that Forgotten Realms never did for me. I've never read any of novels or comics that take place in the Warhammer universe. For any Warhammer fans, are there any novels or books set in the Old World that you would recommend? [/QUOTE]
