…and an Eldritch New Year

A bit late, I give you that, but it is still here.

Eldritch Sigils RPG is the new game developed by me and my gaming group. As previously advertised it deals with cyberpunk, esoteric secrets and augmented reality.

I just uploaded the art free version of the quick start rules to our webpage. I hope you check them out and comment on anything you find. We have big plans for this game and I have always felt that the input of the community is the most important thing in making any game successful.

An Interview with Tony Ackland at Realm of Chaos

Realm of Chaos just published an interview with Tony Ackland an artist who is one of the most influential entities behind my vision of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Those more familiar with the current third edition (or even the second) might not recognize his visions but I would be damned if I would not share this link.

Tony Ackland had a perfect vision of how Old World looks like. It is pretty different from current line but it still means more to me than “let’s use this image from Fantasy Battle”-type illustrations.

Check it out here!

Magic Overhaul for WFRP2

A couple of days ago Strike-to-Stun user AranaiRa published a complete overhaul of arcane magic for WFRP2. This mammoth tome of 76 pages not only re-writes the spells but also offers the rules for elf wizards.

My group and I decided to go back to WFRP 2e after about a year and a half, though experience with newer games that run off of WFRP 2e’s base system made us realize that the existing casting system was a bit lack-luster. So we aimed to fix that.

An updated Rune Magic doc is coming soon, followed by Divine Magic. From there we plan to cover Dark Lores, then Witch Lores and hedge magic. Any feedback or error-catching is appreciated!

AranaiRa allowed the hosting of this document at the Daily Empire and thus you can download it HERE as a pdf.

The original post can be found at this Strike-to-Stun thread as I am sure that some of you would like to give comments and suggestions to the author.

We Wish You A Scary Solstice

Today I posted this on StS and FFG’s forums:

In the old days WFRP was supposedly created as a “fantasy version of Call of Cthulhu”. I think this idea is still very good one. Bring in the mysteries, cults and weird uncles. Raise up the dead ones and whisper threaded names in ancient libraries.

In addition to the one I wrote I received one from Sami Uusitalo (who you might remember from various writings – most recently the Four Truths About the Beast of Bögen).

I’m still hopeful that we receive a few additional onesheets. But as I’m getting ready to watch movies and enjoy the Winter Solstice evening I decided to put up the two entries already.

The Opener of Ways is my entry and The Prehensile-tailed Comet is the one that Sami wrote. We are hoping you will enjoy them both.

All in all have a very scart Solstice.

And an eldritch new year…
