WFRP4 Quick Ref Sheet

 A crazy sheet of quick refs (with notation pg numbers) for 4th ed. Some peeps might not like my crazy shorthand, but see how you like it haha. 

The Initiative breakdown for multi attacks is a house rule thingy you can ignore if you want. Basically it's an old style effective initiative tool for creatures that have multiple (non free) attacks per round - eg tentacles. Enter the I value and number of attacks and it will split them up to show when in the I order you can attack with another tentacle.

WFRP Banker App

Welcome to Gaspard Richelieu's Bureau of Exchange!

If you want to get nerdy with coinage in the Empire, use this handy little spreadsheet app for money management. It uses some info taken from the 2nd ED Old World Armoury, and the core book.

The most useful bit might be the quick glance percentages which you could use during haggling.

4th Edition Digital Character Sheet

Here is v1 of my digital character sheet for 4th edition. Useful for playing online between friends. Does some maths for you and gives a few warnings with wounds and encumbrance. If you get an alert while trying to edit cells - stop - these contain maths that do work for you :)

Try saving out a copy on your own google drive or see if a xls download works (i HAVE NOT tested this file format with the maths etc)

Scenario - A Hand In Marriage

Here is another scenario!

This is the first scenario I have written that includes stats for both first AND second edition WFRP! Haha,  I haven't played it using 2nd edition so I can't vouch for its difficulty or whether it is any good at all ;)

There is also a zip file containing some sweet maps and handouts!

Keep in mind this is a games masters document and if you are intending to play, avoid reading it for spoilers!

The adventure and the handouts are available in the Loot section, however a couple of direct links are given below...

GM Tools

I have a few more docs available for download or viewing in the Loot section.  

I have the latest versions of computerised character sheets and some GM tools like a combat sequence, player reference sheet, and a WFRP1 quick reference sheet.  They should be available in Google Docs to look at, but there are also Open Office files.

These have been developed for our online game, but are useful for most games if printed out...

WFRP1 - Play By Mail ...Sort Of

I do wish Google Wave was still around, because it would make online email/chat games of WFRP really easy.  However, I will be playing a game of WFRP soon online with a small crew using Google Hangouts.  I will post some updates about how it goes, and maybe even archives of the chat windows.

We will be using one main game window, where the narrative and main action takes place, and the players will have their own party only chat, so the GM can't peek.  The GM will also have a small window per player, to shoot them private messages, request rolls/stats/checks and even personal experiences like visions and dreams etc, without alerting the wider group.  This way the player might have to roleplay the dream or vision to their cohorts even more believably than a face to face game :)

anyway, we are using a shared Google docs folder for the game, where the GM uploads handouts as we go, and we keep the quick reference docs, and even the party character sheets as a spreadsheet!

the character sheets can be found in the LOOT section over there >>

They are littered with quick ref notes, and are also intended mainly for online play, so might not be easily printable.

There are two versions, a Google Docs version, which you can view, but will have to download your own copy as an .ods or .xls (I recommend .ods as it seems to format better).

There is also an OpenOffice version which you should be able to download however, sometimes Google is being funny about that file type.  There are also versions with a character portrait space.  You can add your avatar there, including a choice of a few faces that I will be uploading on this site for freebie use!

I will keep you posted about how it goes, and if it is worth pursuing some larger scenarios/campaigns this way ...

roll on!
