Preorders Have Begun for 4th Edition ‘Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay’

May 3, 2018

One of the most highly anticipated roleplaying releases of 2018 is approaching as Cubicle 7 Entertainment is now taking preorders for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition. C7 is renowned for their excellent lineup of RPGs and it looks like the company is going all out with WHFRP. The PDF is scheduled to arrive in June with the physical book to follow in July. The standard PDF and book combo carries an MSRP of $59.99. The starter set in PDF is scheduled for August and boxed set to follow in September with an MSRP of $29.99.

From Cubicle 7:

Can’t put it down, can you? You know what’s in here. You’ve seen them. The twisted ones, the arrogant ones, the lost ones. Oh, you’d like to walk away and life be all cake and daisies, but you know you’re going here instead. You’ll try to convince yourself it’s because you’re greedy for the loot, or can’t resist a fight, but we all know the truth. So ready your sword, clean your pistol, and watch out for that dog – he might be small but he’s unreasonably vicious.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay takes you back to the Old World. Get the gang together, create your (anti)heroes, and set off to make your way through the vile corruption, scheming plotters and terrifying creatures intent on destruction.

The Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Rulebook contains everything you need for grim and perilous roleplaying adventures in the Old World.

To whet your appetite, Cubicle 7 have announced four things that you can expect from the new edition of this beloved game.

Your Warhammer for You! – Something that is really core to our WFRP is that they’ve created tools for you to play your Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Cubicle 7 recognise and support that everyone plays their own version of the rules and the setting, and they fully embrace and encourage that. It’s your game! With 30 years of history under its belt, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay means a lot of things to a huge number of players.

Ideal starting point – Not much experience with RPGs? The Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Starter Set is designed to be the ideal introduction, with a structured adventure to help you learn how to play. Also containing a guide to Ubersreik, there’s loads of gaming material for more experienced GMs too!

System matters – WFRP4 uses ten-sided dice, and a tuned-up version of the familiar d100 system. You can tailor the rules to your preferences or different in-game situations, choosing from a menu of fast ‘roll under’ Simple Tests, Dramatic Tests giving success levels where you need more than a ‘yes or no’ result, and even barely rolling at all, if that’s your style.

Passion for Warhammer – Cubicle 7’s creative team are lifelong players of the three previous editions of the game, and between them have worked on all these editions too! They bloomin’ love Warhammer, and we think it shows.
