WFRP Information booklet (pdf 210 kb)
Sam Stockdale
This booklet by Sam Stockdale introduces the world of Warhammer. It makes an excellent introduction to the game for players, or those wondering if WFRP is the game for them. Even old hands will find it an interesting summary of the background.

The Origin of Tree Worship

Resources
The Origin of Tree Worship
Introduction
The Origin of Tree Worship was the title of a fanzine that I produced over a three-year period, roughly 2001 – 2004. This webpage contains a selection of the articles that I wrote for the fanzine during that time. Some are simply reprinted, whilst others have been revised and edited. I was fortunate to be supported by a number of other authors during the fanzine’s life, but this site does not reproduce any of those. A description of the issues is also included.
I have also culled the material of editorial and polemical content, together with anything that is time-specific. This page can never give a true picture of the vibrancy of the fanzine, but I hope it brings a flavour of what I had intended, together with bringing some of the material to a wider audience.

Bretonnia Sourcebook

Peter Butterworth
As some reported problems in downloading the Bretonnia Sourcebook from the original locations (here as compressed rar archieve or here as a directory containing all PDF files) we contacted Peter Butterworth and he kindly agreed to let us host the book.
The project still accepts submissions and may produce a companion volume in the future.
Feedback is welcome. Here’s the website address: http://malpy.free.fr/bretonnie/index_uk.html

NPCs

Resources
The usual suspects
NPCs for use in the game. The column was dropped as it didn’t prove very popular. In reality it mutated a little and the NPCs appear within an associated article, which makes much more sense.

Legion

Resources
“My name is Legion, for we are many.”
Legion? What? I hear you ask. Well, Legion is a series of irregular newsletters bringing together some material that we just can’t get into Warpstone, but which we think you might still enjoy seeing.  It isn’t because it’s substandard just that we can’t fit it all into the magazine.  It also contains some of the odder stuff we have lying around.
Whenever, an issue appears, Legion will be sent free to all Warpstone subscribers. Anyone who sends us an envelope and some stamps or e-mails us with a request can have a copy (at least until the next issue of Legion arrives) or you can download it from this page.
To download an issue right click on the name and choose “Save as…”. To view it just click on the name.
All issues are in PDF format. You need Acrobat Reader to view them. Click here to download it.

Issue number 11 contains a few odds and ends. Sea shanties to accompany articles in issue 30, military colours in The Empire & a look back at a first encounter with WFRP3.
