None Shall Pass! - A Tale of the Old World

About the adventure

"Hell is being trapped forever in a tent with that... lady.." - Sir de Satre Along a dirt road seldom travelled in Bretonnia's forests there lies a stone bridge. The river has long since dried up to a mere trickle a mere footstep in width. The bridge seems somewhat redundant. Yet beyond lies the brilliant azure tent of a knightly pavilion, and outside, resplendant in the armour of a Bretonnian knight stands, waiting to challenge passers-by. Such is the way in Bretonnia - the land of chivalry and legend. This is a tale that has it all. A group of wayfarers. A trial of arms. A beautiful damsel. An eerie feeling that something is wrong with that couple. Heroes. Curses. Villains. Damsels. Unrequited Love. Very much requited contempt. This is a fun introductory scenario for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition, a British Fantasy Roleplay game originally made by Games Workshop and now published in its 4th Edition by Cubicle 7. In WFRP you play ordinary people thrown into extraordinary situations. If you've played WFRP before, welcome back to the Old World. If you're new this is the perfect jumping on point for you. The session will be a 4 hour one-off with Bretonnian pregens. You can play as:- Brave Sir Etienne Jourdonne, Knight Errant of Quenelles Dumboil de la Chapeau, his loyal servant who has a turnip only slightly smaller than his outrageous rat Equally Brave Sir Aubert de Folqard, Knight Errant of Carcassone Brother Roland de Maynard, keeper of the Holy Hand of Gannad and Aubert's Confessor Lady Therese de Beaumarche, an unmarried noblewoman very keen to remain so!

How to prepare

Choose one of the characters listed above, visit the links on the Dashboard for the URL to the Foundry and Discord servers. You need a microphone for audio. Video is not necessary.

What I provide

The game will be run on Foundry VTT - an excellent virtual environment for playing Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and Discord for audio. All dice rolling and rules are available there. Therefore all you need a Foundry compatible browser, such as Chrome. Other browsers like Safari do not work well with the virtual environment we will playing in.

Gameplay details

A typical session will involve a lot of roleplaying and interaction with NPCs. Combat in WFRP is deadly, with every swing of a sword bringing with it the risk of death or permanent injury, so should only be last resort,. That said the Old World is also a dangerous place to explore and there are cultists, beastmen, greenskins and mutants lurking in the shadows of civilisation. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay can also contain body horror and a certain amount of psychological horror. If you are concerned by this please do discuss this at the start of the session. Given the light-hearted nature of this scenario I hope this shouldn't be a problem.
