WFRP: Old World Bestiary

Awesome book.

[Entsuropi]

I concur. Buy it. You'll be happy.

Just a note though - if your using vampires, it's worth your time getting the Vampire Counts army book, since it goes into a lot more flavour for each individual type, as opposed to the overview from the bestiary.

[Fellfrosch]

I'd say the same about Skaven, actually, and probably other villain cultures as well, such as Tomb Kings and the new Ogre Kingdoms.

[Entsuropi]

Yeah, ditto with the Druchii. Seems that way - good overview but if your going to focus on one culture, pick up the army book and any black library Liber.. books. Like Liber Skaven just came out, Liber Chaotica will be in a 4 pack soon.

The Old World Bestiary only has one entry about the Dark Elves, and nothing about High Elves or Lustria or anything else that's not actually in the "Old World," so I assume that there will be more coming someday. That's why it's so nice to play a game in an established, strongly-supported world like this: while waiting for more info, we can always turn to the other games' books and get all the info we need.

[Entsuropi]

Yeah. Like i said on the weblist, I'm expecting a 'new world' book at some point, which will cover lustria, more on the tomb kings, maybe even araby and cathay (warhammers arabia and china).

[Fellfrosch]

I wouldn't be surprised if they did a Lustria supplement on the web or something, to coincide with the New World campaign GW is running this summer. Or maybe the two branches don't coordinate that well.

[Entsuropi]

I spoke to a games workshop slave (i mean store manager) a few weeks back, and he said that GW won't be stocking the RPG in the stores. It's seperate companies, legally, so I don't know if they would co-ordinate at all.
