About the adventure
Ready for something darker than D&D? Step into the gritty, blood-soaked world of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay with The Enemy Within, one of the most acclaimed RPG campaigns of all time. You’ll play flawed, desperate adventurers scraping by in a grim world where corruption lurks behind every smile. You won’t be slaying dragons for loot—you’ll be dodging cultists in the sewers, untangling political plots, and trying to survive as the Empire slowly tears itself apart from within. If you're craving a campaign where every decision matters, where danger is everywhere and trust is rare, this is your next great adventure. D&D shows you what it’s like to be a hero. Warhammer shows you what it costs.

How Mikael Hellstrom creates a safe table
The list of content warnings are examples of what may come up in play. We will, of course, calibrate this list according to player wishes. The players decide what degree of historical accuracy the campaign involves in terms of feudalism, theocracy, and so on. I send out a veils and lines document to players before Session 0. We go through this comprehensively during Session 0. The document is a living one, and players should always feel free and encouraged to refine and recalibrate it during the campaign.
