Creature of the Folk Lore

“Have you heard the story about the Beast of Bögen, stranger?”

About a year ago while writing for the Hand of Glory-scenario for Liber Fanatica 9 I contacted Sami Uusitalo for a little help. Originally he wrote a small addition to the story. But it did not take long for this addition to take a life of its own.

The Five Truths About the Beast of Bögen is a different kind of scenario. I wont go into details as they would certainly spoil the story but I do recommend GMs out there to run it. It works with almost any campaign of WFRP and really is a great addition.

The file has been updated in the Downloads section of WFRP2.

You may also directly download it HERE as a pdf.

The adventure has stats for WFRP2 only but if someone has the opportunity to make a conversion for WFRP3 I would like to host it here also (Sami Uusitalo actually asked me to do the stats so I imagine he has nothing against someone else doing them).

***Minor Spoiler warning for Hand of Glory!***

As for the Hand of Glory – you can actually still spot where this piece was going to be added. There is a minor error in the edit of LF9 on page 73. Act 2, Encounter 1 lists two possible outcomes 2a and 2b. Only one is given though and the 2b-option is put into a small box. I would however like to encourage GMs to use Five Truths About the Beast of Bögen in this Act. Episode 3 is good for it anyway.

***End of spoilers***

Jay Hafner (aka. Emirikol/Tyridium) held a fan-scenario contest on the Fantasy Flight Games and Strike-to-Stun forums. The results have just been published:

I want to commend all of you authors and judges for your efforts on the 2012 scenario contest project. WFRP fans noticed and appreciate the attention to detail and relentless determination to release a quality product on time. We are proud to have you as part of the WFRP writing team and look forward to your future contributions.

Here are the results of voting:
Top voted: Good Neighbours by Luke Rose

Dave Allen asked that his “Of Swords and Shadows” not be ranked, but it did receive votes as well.

We will be putting the permanent product downloads on the Liber Fanatica website. If you authors have any further additions or changes to your scenarios, they can be made and updated at any time.

The authors and GMs who plan to run the scenarios would like additional feedback on the scenarios and those comments can be made in the GMs forum.

Thanks to the authors for contributing 4 SOLID scenario offerings!  Your hard work helps us all!

The contest scenarios can currently be found from HERE.

I’d like to congratulate all participants for great work and tip my hat to mr. Hafner who made this possible! Good gaming everyone!

LFIX – Perils of the Empire Released!

Now it is here!

I know I’ve been promising it for half a year but if you just go to Liber Fanatica you will notice that it really is HERE.

Ninth issue of Liber Fanatica is massive tome of adventures. It includes adventures is Mordheim, second part of the Master of Shadows campaign (written buy yours truly) and a load of smaller scenarios (some of which form even a small campaign).

In addition to adventures this issue also gives ideas and advises of who to deal with problematic players (and GMs).

You might notice that this huge beast is only the first part of the IX issue. Hopefully will finish of the second part in time and can begin to work with the 10th issue.

But for now enjoy the Perils of the Empire and do not forget to give us feedback on the whole thing in any way you see fit.

Ye Oldest Con

Just received another one-sheet adventure. And by “just” I mean “almost two weeks ago”. Sorry Ovid.

Aaaaaanyway. Ovid (a member of the magnificent Strike-to-Stun community) has written a onepager about one of the oldest cons in the book. I won’t spoil this for players but I think that it presents a good alternative for all editions of WFRP. It might even be used as a basis of a longer campaign.

I would really like to see even more these kinds of adventures out there. Hopefully The Estalian Prisoner sparks a few ideas that can be shared with the community.

Liber Fanatica 9 is almost here

Because it is customary Liber Fanatica has been facing some major problems from various sources. Currently it seems most likely that this massive tome will be published in two parts (and later as one) to allow gamers to get their hand on it as soon as possible.

In fact we are so close to publishing this beast that we are willing to present you a preview article from it. It is Rae Russell‘s article of how to bring problem players back to Sigmar. It includes hands-on advice and ideas to be used in any game.

It should be noted though that this really is only a preview file so some formating will be done later on. And naturally the other articles referenced in this piece will not be available currently (though they give you a nice sneak peek of what is to come!)

If you have any comments on how the article is presented this is your chance to have some influence on the final product.
