Warhammer RPG Weekly: Courting the Vampires
Plus: the winner of our Old World bundle giveaway announced!
Welcome one and all to the Warhammer RPG Weekly, the every-Friday chronicle of what’s new and exciting at the tabletop from the World of Legend, Mortal Realms, or grim, dark future where there is only war!
Before we jump in, a quick housekeeping note. If you’re a Black Library reader wondering why you’re getting RPG updates, don’t you can tailor which emails you get from the Warhammer Wordforge quickly and easily. One of my top goals here is to make sure you only get the content you’re looking for, and don’t see your inbox get cluttered up with the content you’re not. You can find details on how to do that here.
A quieter week this week, but not one without at least a little bit of news as Cubicle 7 Games today teased its next Warhammer Fantasy Role Play supplement, the Sylvania Setting Guide.
If you’re new to the world of Warhammer Fantasy, think a little slice of Ravenloft nestled in the eastern fringe of the Empire, right down to the mists and the vampires. Of course for Warhammer, that means you’ll be getting the von Carsteins instead of von Zarovich, but we like to think the end result will probably be the same.
If you’re not new to the setting, well, you already know some of the horrors that lie in store.
No ETA or timeline on the release yet.
The Old World Bundle Giveaway
We had loads of entries into our bundle giveaway, including the Player’s Guide, Gamemaster’s Guide, and Character Sheet Pad. In the end, though, we only had one bundle to offer, and the lucky winner is… Falbangold!
To enter, respondents were asked to name their favorite Warhammer RPG system, and WFRP 4th Edition was far and away the top pick. All the same, I was delighted to see love for WFRP 2nd alongside mentions of Wrath & Glory, Soulbound, Imperium Maledictum and more!
Thanks to all who entered, congrats to our lucky winner and keep an eye out for more down the road.
ICYMI
Jeff McAleer of The Gaming Gang was back this week with another Warhammer: The Old World video review. This time, he dove between the covers of the Gamemaster’s Guide.
Zekiel at Ill Met by Morrslieb was also looking at The Old World this week, posting a review of the first digital mini-adventure released by Cubicle 7 Games, Thirst of Three.
If WFRP is more your thing, Sprues & Brews reviewed the upcoming Temple of Spite sourcebook for Dark Elves.
A terrific conversation this week in the r/40Krpg subreddit when u/Newez asked for opinions on Fantasy Flight Games’ Deathwatch RPG- and one of the game’s writers chimed in!
Artist u/Illustrious-Box2693 shared some incredible, medieval-style portraits of some of Middenheim’s most notable citizenry the players will meet in WFRP’s classic campaign, The Enemy Within.
Looking for an actual play video for Wrath & Glory? Good news, Crits & Coffee dropped one just this week!
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.
