What to watch, part 1

As this was the main reason I got an idea for this blog let’s start with the movies. For GM’s (as myself) the movies are a mixed curse and a blessing. You can get great ideas for scenarios but on another hand your players might have seen the movies too. The feared “I’ve seen this movie already”-comment is almost as annoying as Monthy Python quotes but both are equally impossible to avoid.

However here are a couple of the latest “mood movies” form Warhammer.

Solomon Kane – Great for inspiration for witch hunters. Might have too high tone of fantasy for some.

Black Death – Even better and more warhammerish movie about witch hunters. A definite”must see” for all Warhammer fans.

And as for the older ones two “must see”s are:

The Name of the Rose – Investigation at a monastery.

Jabberwocky – THE movie about Warhammer. At least for me. Watch it! Now.

After reading the (atleast) 10th “what movies to watch for WFRP” I decide to dump the old gaming blog from this site and dedicate it to serve as successor of now-gone Hammerzeit. As such I’ll try my best to gather all kind of fan material for WFRP3 here as well as easy references to the game itself.

Hopefully I’ll get help for this from the marvelous WFRP community out there. We are who make the game great.

If you want to contribute please visit the thread at Fantasy Flight Games‘ official forum HERE. As it is I’m not ready to accept commenting here due bad experiences in the past.

Draft of “The Village of Caradué”

“The Village of Caradué” is a fan-supplement to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game(tm) by Fantasy Flight Games(tm). It’s not a complete adventure or even a complete for that matter. It however is a toolbox for GMs who would like to set their adventures in Bretonnia or would like to have an example of a Bretonnian village.

This supplement will not include any character profiles or anything by the terms of rules for that matter. Personally I see them as restraining elements that usually get in the way of a good story. And naturally the would have taken a lot of time to come up which is against he principles of laziness. So no stats.

So if I’m lazy why would I go through the trouble to create this piece in the first place? I’m a firm believer in rpg communities and as I’ve gained quite a lot from fellow players over the years I just decided to give something back. Naturally I already had these written down in Finnish so it was simply the matter of translation and coming up with the layout which is always a nice exercise.

So in hope of criticism and praises I present to you this supplement. Hopefully it’ll give you an element to be used in your games or at least some ideas to be ripped off.

As I’m quite busy right now and this thing seems to be growing every time I try to finish it here’s the draft version which is still lacking a quite a bit of material. For the time being it’ll have to do until I can finalize it.
