Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in playing WFRP online, either here or somewhere else.

Rules knowledge isn't required as I can tell you what you need to know and character creation is about 80% random anyway.

As a note it is much grimmer and role orientated than WQ, despite sharing a setting.

EDIT (by Old Warrior): Anyone wanting to play, and etc. may now visit SpinningDice's new WHFP game forum: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Game

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


To help catch the Runboard Users' eyes, I am responding to this with a different ID. emoticon

Hello, SpinningDice,

I really do appreciate the invitation to this game, but I am just way too into the WQ games. Also, I am not wanting anything more grim than this. emoticon

Perhaps, I could change my mind at some point....

I am, however, willing to allow you to host a game here if you can get whatever players you need; AND, I am even willing to help you get going in any way I can. I would make you a moderator and give you editing privileges for the forum(s) that you would use.

Sincerely,

Old Warrior

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


It's an RPG set in the Warhammer Fantasy world, you play a motly group of adventures fighting against great odds to prevail against chaos.

It's not usually very dungeon based - more cities and wilderness and I won't be using nice battlegrids like OW.

I was just wondering if anyone was interested.

I wouldn't want to run with less than 3 players, though 4-5 would be more ideal.

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


Alright then, some basics for the system...
Characters have a statline based that should lookfairly familiar:
Weapon Skill (WS), Melee fighting ability
Ballistic Skill (BS), Ranged fighting ability
Strength (S), Physical power
Toughness (T), Resilience
Agility (Ag), Movement based skills/abilities
Intelligence (Int), how smart you are
Will-Power (WP), how strong willed you are
Fellowship (Fel), how good you are at talking to people
All these are rated 1-100, with trained humans being around 30 (i.e in general you multiply WHQ stats by 10 to get an equivalent WHFRP stat.

In addition you have
Attacks (A), No of attacks, usually 1 for starting characters
Wounds (W), How much damage you can take - 10-12ish
Strength Bonus (SB), Strength divided by 10 round down
Toughness Bonus (TB), Toughness divided by 10 round down
Move (M), the number of 'Squares' you can move in an action
Magic (Mag), the number of dice you roll to cast spells
Insanity Points (IP) How crazy you are
Fate Points (FP), extra lives and luck.

In addition you have skills and talents, Skills let you roll the relevant check at the level of the appropriate stat (i.e. having 'ride' as a skill lets you make ride checks at your agility, if you don't you're at 1/2 skill).
Talents let you do something extra - like special moves etc.

Nearly everything in the game involves rolling under you stat on a d100.

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


For WFRP I usually run with the caveat that only 1 person is non-human (options are Human, Elf, Dwarf & Halfling) as the world (well at least the Empire) is very human-centric.

I'm willing to give people a bit more freedom in this one, but bear in mind that the Empire is very xenephobic in a lot ways.

Halflings are viewed as pickpockets and swindlers (though make good pies)

Dwarfs are probably the most respected of the 3 races but are still looked down on (they come 'ere stealing our jobs)

Elves are viewed with a mixture of awe and suspicion, humans are raised to beleive magic is unnatural and its well known that elves make heavy use of magic.

Classes are rolled randomly, though I allow two rolls and you can pick the best. I run with a slightly modified table which I might see if I can post up, but otherwise you'll just have to submit rolls and I'll give you a choice.

Custodian feel free to just roll up a character out of the book if you have it. The only house rules I use is the roll twice for career, and some custom tables that don't really impact on the balance at all.

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


Okay.. not knowing the race rules, I should probably stick to the basics.. but im not like that emoticon

I would like to play an Elf (hopefully I will get lucky with career rolls, if you tell me what to roll, then I'll get right on it)

to me it sounds like a variation of the D&D game?

anyway... Starfighter signs up with an Elf if possible

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


Hey Spinningdice

im not familiar with the concept either, but it sure sounds like fun!

I'll play a Human to keep things simple emoticon

Edit: oh, and like Starfigther, just let me know what to roll, and I'll get right on it emoticon

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


SpinningDice, are you ready for your own Forum, where you can keep track of whatever? I am willing to help in the creation/editing process -- if you would like.

I am adding a new Forum right now, making SpinningDice a moderator. emoticon If it isn't needed I can easily delete it. I will make a chat topic first so that you all can have a place to post there. I can set it up where only game players can post -- if you want, but, for now will leve it open in case some straggler(s) wants to join. emoticon

If you would like, SpinningDice, I can move this topic to the WHFRP game forum.... It could even be made into the Chat (or whatever you want to call it) topic.

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


It's fine to start afresh I think, I'll put some notes for character creation to kick off the new board.
It is a bit like D&D but grittier, and not using d20s.

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


Hello to all of you, but especially SpinningDice

I know that I am a new guy on the forum, but I was hoping you would accept my dwarf character?

I have made a post about him in the chat section of the forum mentioned in the above post and hope that you will accept him! (and me of course..)

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


Hello, Auroya,

I welcome you to my message board and to the WFRP game as well.

As for your dwarf, that is up to SpinningDice. emoticon We shall see. I for one would like to see how the dwarf does, just out of curiosity, since I have never played WFRP.

Note about playing in a WQ game: Perhaps, if it is okay with SpinningDice and the party survives, which I fully expect, you could play a character of your choice in my Venturing into the Old World Warhammer Quest game. I might add that almost anything but a witch could join, since there is a Witch Hunter in the party. emoticon

SpinningDice's Aesa, a female Chaos Warrior, died from a mean savage orc shaman's spell (Fist of Gork) -- that combined with the only distance type of healer's inability to use any magic that turn, because of another nasty orc spell.

Check out that game and we shall see what SpinningDice says if you are interested in starting a new character to join that BL 1 party. emoticon

If you do want to play and it works out, I will tell you more about what you need to do to create your warrior. I will then work up a scenario for the party's meeting the new warrior back in the settlement -- from whence they were captured.

The warrior party includes: Rand, The Dragon Reborn (lol, fantastically transported through the World of Dreams to the Warhammer World); Magnus, my own Jaedai (Force user, fighter type, who normally has his Power Sabre with him, but not at the moment -- dreadful fate!); and, last but not least, Katsu, a Ninja. All three of these warriors happen to be from my own attempts at custom warrior creation. The Jaedai and Ninja still need some work done to their advanced rules, but, I think they are fun to play so far. Both Rand and Magnus can do a little healing along the way, but have some limitations and some chance of failure in their metaphysical endeavors.

If you are interested you may want to look over the various custom warriors available on my website and the more official types found in the OW Gamer Reference (restricted access -- a forum here to which I just now gave you access to).

Here are the two links:


Custom Warriors

Official & Semi-Official Warriors (restircted access)


EDIT: Note that my offer may be a bit premature, but we might be able to get you into one of the other games if SpinningDice says no. emoticon

Hello

thank you for letting me know this, a death is never easy to bear.

If I could get to play a warrior there, then that would be perfect with me emoticon

hope to hear from Spinningdice soon.

Hello, I see you have 4 characters already. Being a huge RPG fan I'd still like to join. If the game is full I understand. Otherwise, please roll up a character for me.
Thanks a lot!

SpinningDice has informed me that he is glad to let you take his place in the Venturing game. emoticon

So, you are welcome to start creating your character -- which process depends upon which one you choose (Wounds for sure will need to be rolled, amount of debt for a Pit Fighter, actual Gold Limit for a Trollslayer, and etc...). Pick the warrior type and then send me the dice roll results for each thing that is needed (according to the warrior's rules). It doesn't really matter which dice roller you use at this point, since I am going to allow anything for a while to see how it goes. emoticon

Also, you will want to choose an avatar (using my avatar Gallary -- open from dropdown menu at bottom of page) and perhaps make up some type of bio. or background info (but, that isn't required). If you want to supply your own picture submit it to me for approval. emoticon

Once I know which warrior type you have chosen, I will let you know anything that you may have missed.

The warrior party is almost out of the current mess,. So hopefully we can get you started soon. emoticon

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


Oh thank you very much again SpinningDice, and to Oldwarrior for letting me get into the game

Now, I will play a Brettonian Knight I think. He seems mean, yet Honourable!

I rolled a 6 for wounds, giving him a total of 13 wounds

My Knights Quest concerns a Magical Armour

My Questing favour for the 1st adventure: 1
The Village Milkmaids favour
re-roll one failed to hit roll this adventure

Was there more you needed?

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


Sorry, I've not been checking this thread since the new section was created.
I can roll up a character for you if you like Cutlass, do you want me to do the whole thing for you - or do you want to pick your own bits?

That gets us to 7... In a real-life game I'd say no, but on a forum game it might keep things moving a bit better.

I'll run through a short adventure first and if it's too much I may split you into two groups, but we'll see how it goes.

Re: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?


Auroya,

So far, I think you have submitted everything you need to get started in the game as a Bret. Knight except the avatar you would like to use. EDIT: Oh, and whatever you want to name the Bret. Knight as well...

I just gave you access to the Venturing game. So, now you may post there in chat/orders whenever you wish. emoticon

Since this topic is about SpinningDice's game, I will now close it so that all posts concerning that game may be made in the forum created for the game. This will help to prevent some missed communications.

Here again is the link to that game:
