Warhammer: "I, Vampire" a 4e mystery adventure
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay | Campaign
About the adventure
In this "intro to Warhammer 4e game", you will play citizens of the Empire who discover a plot to take over the entire region. Set in motion by the ancient vampire known only as Dumure, this plan has many moving parts in many areas. Travel the Empire in this sandbox style mystery adventure and do what you can to stop the undead menace! Warhammer Fantasy RPG is a grimdark fantasy game in which you play a normal person who fights with all their talents and skills to try to survive against Greekskins, undead, dragons, giants and (especially) evil nobles. This game is a bit more political than your typical Dungeons and Dragons fare, so be aware of this before you sign up for this game. There is magic within the world of Warhammer, but it is fraught with danger, with the possibilities for corruption and mutation. When wielded with Skill, magic is capable of some astounding things, but it is not as common as it is within Dungeons and Dragons. There are no "Magic shops" in Warhammer. With many Starting Careers and a host of Talents and Skills, an almost infinite number of characters are at your fingertips. Do you have what it takes to fight back against the forces of Dumure? Why don't we find out, together?
We are using the 4th Edition rules set for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. We will start with beginner characters and hopefully grow them to be stalwart protectors of the Empire. At one time, the Empire would welcome new heroes, but now these times are not. Vampires can so easily mask themselves as normal folk that it has put strangers off on their wrong foot in almost all initial impressions. Can you cut through the deception, through the shadows, through the pain...? Can you destroy Him before it is too late?

Eiric creates a world with a huge sense of scale and depth. He rewards his players for clever tactics in combat and imaginative role play which encourages people to fully immerse themselves in his world. As a beginner, playing with Eiric has been ideal as he has helped me learn game mechanics and has solved any technical bugs I have had as I get to grips with D&D and the technology required to play role playing games online.

I've played a couple of sessions so far with Eiric and he's been tremendous. Had a fun time. As a first time player in Numenera, he made it easy to learn and play at his table.

He's prepared, conscientious, and has an old school "for the love of the game" quality. I couldn't be more satisfied.

I loved playing with Eric! The story was always super enjoyable and the allowance of fun roleplay was great! Very helpful and knowledgeable and great for beginners or those returning to the game after a long time. I always had a lot of fun and looked forward to each session. Also very respectful of boundaries and understanding towards limitations. Eric was always very kind and patient, willing to explain anything or help out to the best of his ability. I would definitely join another game hosted by him! 100/10 would recommend.

Great table etiquette. Great storyteller. Easy going.

Phenomenal GM/Narrator. Created a wonderful experience. Made a fun environment to play in. He gave us opportunity to play the characters, share in the story building, and make us feel a part of the story and relate to the NPCs we got to interact with.
Additional details
How to prepare
You will need a mic in good working order. Cameras are optional, and please do not feel like you must join in and use one if you do not want to. You will need a Discord and Roll20 account, but like I said above, these are free. Once you have a Discord account, please join us at the following server link: https://discord.gg/h3M7nXa3E6 Once we have enough players to begin, I will share the Roll20 link to the game itself. This is an Intro Style game, so you need not read anything beforehand. There are no programmes you need to download. Just be ready to have fun!
What I provide
I have almost every book for Warhammer Fantasy 4e. We will be using Roll20 and Discord for the game, and accounts for each are free. I am a very Rule of Cool Gamemaster. Above all, I just want my players to have fun. I try to use unique voices for NPCs and music when I can. Combat in Warhammer is very tactical and can get quite gruesome. At the start, you will feel your character is very ineffectual - this is by the game's design. You are playing underdogs. Embrace it!
Gameplay details
Session Zero will be for character creation, going over some basic rules and the safety tools we'll be using during this extended campaign. I have a Open Door policy that allows for players to come and go without questions or judgement. This also means that if you need anything to help this be your greatest game ever, I will make myself available in any way I can. Aftercare is when we make sure to check in and make sure that everyone is still enjoying the game, and it is followed by Stars and Wishes, or what we call "Rose, Bud, Thorn", where the Rose is a good thing about the session, a Bud is something you are looking forward to, and a Thorn is something you did not like. If you do not want to participate in Aftercare and Rose, Bud Thorn, you do not have to. It is optional.
