About the adventure
Step Into the Old World 🎲 A game where every roll matters ⚔️ Combat is brutal, tactical, and lethal 🕯️ Careers shape who you are—and who you become 💀 The dice are honest, even when the world isn’t 📘 Perfect for absolute beginners Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay isn’t about flawless heroes. It’s about regular people thrust into danger, corruption, and opportunity. You begin as who you are—a rat catcher, a scribe, a barber-surgeon—and grow into who you must become through grit, luck, and desperation. WFRP’s rules bring the Old World to life through: - Percentile-based challenges that let you feel your character’s strengths and flaws - A career system that allows deep customization and natural growth - Meaningful consequences—wounds, fear, corruption, ambition, and triumph - Roleplay-driven storytelling tied directly into the mechanics There’s nothing quite like the moment you pray the gods hear your plea… and the dice tell you otherwise. What to Expect in This Learn-to-Play Campaign: 📘 Beginner Friendly — I’ll teach the rules step by step. No experience needed. 🧪 Hands-On Learning — You’ll learn by playing: tests, combat, corruption, fate, fortune, and careers. 🧩 Choice-Driven Play — WFRP rewards creativity, problem solving, and cooperation. ⚔️ Tactical, Dangerous Combat — Victory isn’t guaranteed—smart play is essential. 🎭 Grounded, Character-Focused Roleplay — Your flaws are just as important as your skills. 📈 Career Growth — Watch your character change as they gain experience, connections, and scars. This campaign takes place in and around Ubersreik, serving as the backdrop for your introduction to the system. But the real story is yours—the choices you make, the risks you take, and the way you bend (or break) under pressure. If you’ve ever wanted a game where: ✅ You feel every success ✅ You learn from every wound ✅ You grow through every choice ✅ And your story is unmistakably yours …then Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is waiting for you. Join me, and learn how to survive—and thrive—in the most iconic grim fantasy system ever written.

About me
With over a decade of experience running games I know how to craft an adventure that will shock and surprise you, placing YOU at the centre of world-shaping events. Every decision counts. Every roll of the dice changes the story. Every character gets their turn in the spotlight. Let's make some magic together! More about me: 🎥 I have a masters degree in film curation and have a passion for all things cinema. I carry this through to my games, bringing epic storylines inspired by a world of storytellers before me. Want to feel like the star of a Hollywood blockbuster, a Hong Kong martial arts hero, or a cigar-chewing spaghetti western cowboy? I know how stories function and how to make your dreams a reality. 🎲 I offer balanced yet challenging experiences that prioritise teamwork and foster a collaborative game between you and your fellow players. Exhilarating combat, free flowing role-play and unpredictable exploration means that you will get to experience all pillars of TTRPGS at a first class level unlike anything you've experienced before. 😄 I am approachable both in and out of game. Want to change something about your game? Let me know and I will always be happy to make adjustments. Looking for a place to call home? We foster a diverse community of players where all are welcome regardless of background. Need someone to lend an ear for some out-of-game issues? Let's talk. My door is always open. I hope to see you in game soon!

Creating your character
Character creation will be done together in Session 0, or with me in a private session if joining later. Character creation in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay begins by randomly rolling for your Race, Stats, and Career, with exp bonuses given if you stick with what you roll. Have something specific in mind? All character options from the Core Rulebook are available for selection if you choose.
