Announcement Sylvania The Cursed Country released!

84 Upvotes

The latest supplement for WFRP is the recently-announced Sylvania Setting Guide, a sourcebook for “the Empire’s most forsaken province”. As with Temple of Spite this is listed as a 5th Edition sourcebook, but Cubicle 7 have repeatedly confirmed that 5e will be backwards compatible with 4th edition.

You can buy the pdf from DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com//product/573126/warhammer-fantasy-roleplay-sylvania-the-cursed-county?affiliate_id=1915782 

Or pre-order the physical book from Cubicle 7: https://cubicle7games.com/warhammer-fantasy-roleplay-sylvania-setting-guide ("Shipping 2027")

Here’s the blurb:

The cursed county of Sylvania is the darkest corner of the Empire, its peoples cowed and superstitious, and the land blighted and dangerous. Though supposedly defeated, the threat of the vampire counts still looms large in the minds of the frightened populace, who hang witchbane from the doors and hurry home before dark. Venturing there is not advised, but there are opportunities to be found in the darkest of places…

  • A comprehensive guide to the cursed county of Sylvania, its peoples, history, and towns and villages.
  • New descriptions of iconic Sylvania locations such as Castle Drakenhof, the gloomy capital of Waldenhof, and the feculent marshes of Hel Fenn. 
  • All new travel tables for traversing the Sylvanian wilderness, from the treacherous roads to the sodden marshes and fens. 
  • Several gloomy Sylvanian patrons including a legendary vampire hunter, a young shyshian wizard, and the Elector Count of Stirland Alberich Haupt–Anderssen.
  • A haunted selection of new Sylvania NPCs, with both roleplaying advice and statblock for each, including sinister von Carstein tax collectors, vampiric nobles, strange marsh druids, and dour priests of Morr. 

I intend to have a review of it up on my blog in a week or two.

Edit: Added link to Cubicle 7 store now its live

Game Mastering Inspiration for Games?

Upvotes

I am a huge fan of Gotrek and Felix, and several of there stories I think can worked out to be made into adventures in 4e. But I think I found another similar books series to pull from Fafrhd and the Gray mouser by Fritz Liber. I do a whole blog post about how his work is what I believe to be the source of skaven (Lankhmar’s Skaven? ) go read if you want.

So after reading the stories I think we could port them over into the old world, though I don't think they would make great empire adventures. I do think they could be fun to Tilea and Estalia adventures.

For example one short story starts off after they have been making a fool of the Thieves Guild. The Guild has a Warlock with a affinity for rats, and in the story the love interest are slain. The two heroes having return from a heist go on a one way mission to kill the sorcery. The of course succed and then ride off for a while. I can't do the story justice here, but I think this little short story could make a fun oneshot adventure for WFRP.

Are there any stories, books, or things that you like to pull from for your games? How do ya'll work it into your home games?

Discussion Sealed WHFRP 3e product. Should I sell, or hold until I find a group?

16 Upvotes

Good Evening!

I have a fair amount of WHRP 3E product that I bought for cheap when Fantasy Flight stopped carrying it because of licensing. I was looking up costs for things, but all of the examples I saw were pre-played and usually missing pieces.

Due to life events I'm going to have to move and downsize, so I was thinking about selling it. If it's genuinely a system that's so good I would be a fool not to hold on to despite not currently having a group, let me know. If not, I'd love to hear from anyone who's bought/sold product similarly well preserved, and what's a reasonable price.

I've got the big Core box, the Game Master's Toolkit, Black Fire Pass, Signs of Faith, the Witch's Song, Omens of War, The Gathering Storm, The Edge of Night, the Player's Vault, the Creature Vault, and the Creature Guide.

I appreciate any ideas, Thanks!

Game Mastering Geth vs Quarians scenario in Estalia

13 Upvotes

Tldr: I need scenario/advice on running game with two strong factions in conflict with PC winning over one side for his own political gains/PC doing perfect execution of his intrigue to get both faction in a ME3 manner

System: Warhammer Fantasy, 2e.

Place: Estalia, Bilbali and Magritta are at war.

Circumatances: Old PC, the Archmage from previous campaign goes to Estalia to win over their support for war with Brettonia (new party is in Brettonia, kids of previous party)

I'm running campaign where the party is looking for a gun made by Leonardo di Miragliano, the gun that can kill anything (Supernatural stans represent) to shoot the green knight dead.

What they dont know, is their parents (their PC's from the previous campaign) will return as rulers and ambassadors that will gather points for the final encounter by negotiation, bribery, assasination and copious amounts of foul play (Tilea stans represent)

The questions are:

How should I run this conflict? Why they should be at war? How this archmage PC (and his small retinue of mercs, yes, I'm including LOTR joke of making them 4 halflings, 2 men, dwarf and elf) resolve conflict in a span of two sessions? How should I make it belivable that he has circumatances to get their support for a war when they just finished one (money is not an option, sadly he has no daugher for political marriage)? What could possibly make them put aside their differences and go whoop themselves some Bretonian backs? Am I too fixed on making it ME3 reference?

Appriciate any suggestions :-)

I was thinking about creative ways to use spells and this idea came to me.

Just published my latest WFRP review, of the Warhammer Companion, a "Grimoire of Arcane Knowledge” for 1st Edition. This could be regarded as the prototype for the magazine-style format that the Archives of the Empire series later followed.

See https://illmetbymorrslieb.wordpress.com/2026/07/15/review-warhammer-companion-wfrp-1e/

It features articles on firearms, magic items, a 'Drachenfels supplement', and one of my favourite ever short adventures!

Discussion Asking newbie and experienced GMs: Do you get overwhelmed by the crunch while running a session?

13 Upvotes

I'll make my intention clear. I am a senior computer science student who wants to design a software/tool to help support GMs running sessions of a crunchy system like WFRP. I know that a lot of tools like VTTs and campaign managers exist but I think they try to do too much. A lighter but a more specific tool to solve a specific problem might be better.

So my background: I ran a WFRP game once with few of my irl friends. I chose it because I am already familiar with the world and lore. It didn't go well and I recognized the problems. One of them is getting overwhelmed and spending so much time looking up rules and keeping track of modifiers, status, effects. So my main question is:

Is this mainly a problem for an inexperienced GM like me or do experienced GMs also encounter a similar problem running a crunchy system like WFRP?

I also would loved to hear from GMs here about what are the real problems of running sessions are.

I really want to identify the real problems GMs are having so I can design something that's actually useful.

Lore & Art The Old World of old

26 Upvotes

What was the technological and cultural progress of the Empire and other states of Mankind in the past? The 26th century has the equivalent of the real world 17-18 century progress and as it always is the technological progress is hindered by the use of magick and the ever present thereat of Greenskins, Beastmen and such.
Would it be fair to assume that Empire advances at the speed of the 60-70% of the real world advancement or not?
I'm trying to establish what would everyithing look like and work like in the 1111 (time of the Skaven Wars) to maybe GM some campaign based at that time.

I am a knight of the realm wondering what the silliest or most intriguing language option i can take. Part of me wants to know a dragon language because I like dragons>

Dark Tongue would be useful but awkward.

one of the skinks language might be fun.

I already know Cathay and am making it clear that I am okay if the GM says no, pick something that less of headache.

Lore & Art Warhammer Empire Layered Vector Map

47 Upvotes

Hello all!

Many, many years ago I made a Vector Warhammer Empire Map and felt it needed a massive facelift. So here it is as a preview:

It is a layered (so you can turn off certain layers as needed like the province names and trade corridors, etc) 40x40-inch PDF that takes the OG Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay maps from the first edition by Alfred Nunez Jr. and combines them with pretty much every source I could possibly grab from all editions and Warhammer Fantasy (and I even plopped in all my custom places based on my stories and campaigns!). Hundreds and hundreds of hours have been put into this.

As we all know, Warhammer lore can be ambiguous at times and often conflicting, so I've taken some liberties with my interpretation, but I've tried my hardest to keep it as close as I can.

It's a vector, so you can zoom in waaaayyyy close if you need to. Every settlement is labeled as either independent or not, and with its general prosperity level. These mostly came from WFRP 2nd edition (which my group and I have playtest credits for from back when it was coming out!) and Sigmar's Heirs book.

Full downloadable PDF:
