Happy Friday! We’re back with the latest look around the webway at what’s new and exciting in the Warhammer RPG scene.
It’s been a quiet week after Cubicle 7 Games dropped a teaser on us for the upcoming Sylvania Setting Guide last Friday. But “quiet,” of course, doesn’t mean “dead.” Before we jump in, though, a quick site update for our RPG content subscribers.
As I wrote about here last Monday, I’ve broken out the Black Library content into two Categories, Black Library Weekly and Black Library Features. All site Subscribers (RPG and Black Library) were automatically subbed to the new Black Library Features category. If you’re an RPG-only subscriber who doesn’t want Black Library content emailed to you, no problem! I go into how to manage your email notifications for the Wordforge here. I appreciate your continued patience as the site grows!
Right, business done, let’s jump in.
RPG Bestsellers
Bookwriters get their New York Times bestseller lists, so why shouldn’t we enjoy the same thing? While we don’t have any aggregated sales lists, we can use DriveThruRPG’s top-seller list as a reasonable barometer- and here’s this week’s snapshot!
#9. Imperium Maledictum: Adeptus Mechanicus GM’s Guide
#81. Imperium Maledictum: Adeptus Mechanicus Player’s Guide
#102. Imperium Maledictum: Core Rulebook
#113. Dungeons & Dragons: The Keep on the Borderlands. Okay, obviously not Warhammer related, but this took me aback and I had to share. Still selling after all these years…
#136: Wrath & Glory: Core Rulebook
#150. Imperium Maledictum: Inquisition Player’s Guide
#176: Warhammer Age of Sigmar Soulbound: Carngrad Adventures
#185. Imperium Maledictum: Macharian Requisition Guide
#196. Imperium Maledictum: Inquisition GM’s Guide
Normally I’d say I’d dug far enough, but every time I was about to wrap it up I’d see another Warhammer game.
#203. Warhammer The Old World: Player’s Guide
#221. Warhammer Age of Sigmar Soulbound: Champions of Chaos
I’m actually not sure how much deeper the hole goes, but I suspect it’s pretty deep. #255 is Dark Heresy Second Edition’s Core Rulebook. Five slots later there’s the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Core Rulebook. Rogue Trader’s Core Rulebook at #276. Warhammer The Old World: Player’s Guide at #288. And I’m refusing to go past #300, because at this point it feels less like bestseller data and more like pub trivia answers.
An Offer You Can’t Refuse
Speaking of Warhammer RPG PDF’s, online retailer Fanatical is currently offering Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay bundles at pennies on the pound.
USD $1 gets you the WFRP Starter Set, Old World Adventures: Something’s Knocking, Old World Adventures: The Spirit of Mondstille, and a 15% off coupon to Cubicle 7’s webstore.
For nine bucks, you get all the above plus WFRP’s Core Rulebook, the Gamemaster’s Screen, Buildings of the Reikland, and One Shots of the Reikland.
Finally, nineteen dollars gets you all that plus: Altdorf: Crown of the Empire, Middenheim: City of the White Wolf, Salzenmund, City of Salt and Silver, Up in Arms, Old World Adventures, Taverns of the Old World, Blood and Bramble, Sullasara’s Spells of Unrivalled Utility, Shrines of Sigmar, It’s Your Funeral, and Old World Adventures: Hell Rides to Hallt.
That’s a crazy amount of goodies for less than the cost of a single book, estimated at just over $200 at full sticker. Hardly one to pass up a good deal, I went for it and at checkout, they offered me a mystery bundle of four video games for about four bucks. Who doesn’t like the occasional scratch-off ticket, right?
(For the curious, my four bonus video games were: Soulstice Deluxe Edition, Fallout 3, Resident Evil 4, and something called 30 Birds.)
There’s about 45 days left on this bundle, so plenty of time left!
A Drop Pod from Fenris
Great news for Wrath & Glory players as the preorders for the Sons of Russ expansion began fulfillment this week. From new archetypes and powers, to wargear and NPC’s, the book also includes a Tier 4/5 adventure for Space Wolf characters.
Players, no peeking!
ICYMI
AngelAnvar of Careless Conjuration released a GM’s Guide to The Enemy Within, filled with guidance and tips from their experience running this classic campaign multiple times.
Xathrodox86 of the It Always Rains in Nuln blog shared that they were part of a roundtable discussion on the role of TTRPG’s in education. This should be an interesting conversation, as the role of the hobby in the classroom is an evolving one.
Zekiel of Ill Met by Morrslieb mused this week about they’d like to see coming up in WFRP’s 5th Edition, including a look at the strengths (and weaknesses) of 4th Edition.
Coming Attractions
Here’s a list of the known upcoming releases from Cubicle 7 based on the available preorder information we have. Note that Cubicle 7’s own delivery estimates appear to be just that- estimates- which is why many products have an upcoming delivery listed for Q1 while we’re already into Q2.
This section will be updated weekly in this column, with new or updated info presented in boldface.
To make this section more useful, starting this week I’ll be breaking them out by game.
