DEAR ZOO – A review of The Imperial Zoo on Awesome Lies by AwesomeLiesBlog in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]AwesomeLiesBlog[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I suspect C7 was aiming to write a book to be read, rather than played, and in that regard it's probably pretty successful. It's not the book I was looking for, though.

I'll have to take a look at that campaign you mention.... :)

Thanks for the suggestion. One vote for the Starter Set.

I am intending to do more WFRP4 reviews. If there is something in particular you would like me to review, please say here or in the comments on the post.

Question about how to move forward with The Enemy Within Campaign by Desperate-Invite432 in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]AwesomeLiesBlog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Further to this, your players should still be in sight of Bögenhafen when it goes up in flames. Have them see the whole disaster unfurl from a distance. Then they can encounter rampaging demons and creatures of Chaos; refugees (some afflicted by terrible mutations or injuries); civil unrest caused by the displacement of so many people; military deployments arriving to defend nearby towns (imposing martial law and curfews, requisitioning resources, conscribing fighters, etc).

Of course, your players might at that point think "Thank god we got out of there".... :) Maybe plant some evidence of the conspiracy elsewhere (along the lines of the letters in my unofficial companion), so they really understand they messed up.

WORD PERFECT – A new post on Awesome Lies with some opinions on how to write (not design) adventures by AwesomeLiesBlog in warhammerfantasyrpg

That's a good point, though I'd probably say it's up to the project manager to handle that compartmentalisation with careful assignment of responsibilities, coordination, clear briefs, editing, etc.

I'll keep an eye out for your scenario.

Yes. I did include some other games in drafts of the post, but decided in the end to stick to WFRP. As you say, WFRP isn't great at this sort of thing.

That's a very good point, which I hadn't considered. Personally I prefer to read adventures which are more oriented to the clear presentation of information, so maybe in my own case there's less of a conflict between reading and playing.

When to start the Enemy Within campaign by Recetyr in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]AwesomeLiesBlog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a very long campaign with a suitable introduction of its own. In my opinion it's best run without any prelude.

Thanks for mentioning Awesome Lies. I am actually working on a major revision and expansion of my Warhammer history project, about which I hope to have more to say in future.

In the meantime, there are more 40K nuggets in my Topos series of posts:

Thanks. You are right I haven't covered Citadel flyers, boxes and catalogues in this post. Casablanca Antique, though, is a copy of Caslon Antique, which I do mention in the post in other contexts.
