WFRP
After 7 halcyon years as a player and another 25+ as a
GM, I’ve been tweaking WFRP to fit my whims and my players’ gaming
styles for longer than I care to remember. Today it is with enormous
regret that our epic campaign (25 years!) is falling foul to the
distances that separate us, married life, kids, etc. So rather wait
for our adventures to die slow and ignominious death, I’ve decided
to quit the shadows in which I lurked for far too long and to step
out into the harsh light of the web…
Where possible, I’ve highlighted articles that are based on historical research as these pieces can easily be adapted for use in non-WFRP medieval/renaissance campaigns.
Behold mortals, the wicked fruits of my ill-appreciated labours!

Thanks My heartfelt gratitude goes out to all my players (Jim, Wayne, Ralph, Giri, Sparkie, David, Mike & Paul) for enlightening our games with the fun and inspiration that makes all this effort worthwhile. Their regular feedback was crucial in refining the rules tweaks and background expansions. Above all though, massive credit goes to my ex-GM (Dave) for introducing me to all this nonsense over twenty years ago now...
