WFRP Related Links

Here you can find those links to some of the useful WFRP pages out there that I've found surfing the web. Sites are rated from 1 star * (maybe worth a look, but not exactly setting the world alight) to a maximum of 5 stars ***** (excellent sites packed with content and highly recommended). Site ratings are based on content, presentation, how relevant and up to date the sites are kept, personal perogative and how well I slept on the night before I rated them :o).

***** 5 Star Sites :

• Strike-to-Stun : An Online WFRP 'zine with lots of useful information in each issue. Issues cover topics as diverse as the Warhammer world in ancient times, through to specialise issues devoted to Marienburg. The site also sports what is probably now the most active WFRP forums.
• The Bergsberg Project : An ongoing collaborative project to flesh out the town of Bergsberg in the Empire. It features maps, NPCs, and other such gems as information on law, religion, culture, ...
• Warpstone : The website of a paper based WFRP fanzine written by WFRP fans for WFRP fans, edited by John Foody and formerly distributed by Hogshead Publishing. As well as representing and promoting the Warpstone magazine, the site also proffers a useful array of information, from character names to articles on the culture and society of the Old World.

**** 4 Star Sites :

• Alfred Nunez - MadAlfred's Warhammer Fantasy RolePlay (WFRP) Page : This is the website of Alfred Nunez (of Dwarfs: Stone and Steel fame) and includes, among its contents, many very useful maps of the WFRP world and its regions, and some now historical WFRP articles of interest. The material present is well presented and well written, from one of the grandaddies (no offence, Alfred!) of WFRP.
• Fantasy Flight Games : The official site of Fantasy Flight Games, licensed for creation and distribution of WFRP material in the UK (within Games Workshop bounds). An excellent resource for what WFRP books have been released by FFG, with means for online ordering of them from the comfort of your own laptop.

*** 3 Star Sites :

• Games Workshop : The official site of everyones favourite miniatures company, and the ultimate owner of the rights to WFRP. Their web site does not contain a great deal of useful in-depth information on WFRP but offers some understanding of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, the wargame from which WFRP first came, and which shares its world.
• Warhammer.net : A WFRP Portal home to the Warhammer Archives and WFRP FAQ. Also home to a forum. Sadly, the WFRP Archives, while useful, have not been highly maintained or added to for some years.
• Oliver Rosenkranz - Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay : Home of the famous WFRP adventure collection, this site also offers for download some goodies like a map of couronne (at the time of writing), and so on. This material seems to be somewhat thin on the ground in terms of its quantity, however. Two excellent features are the article index, listing the WFRP articles of note in a wide array of magazines (in 7 countries/languages from English to German to Swedish), and the useful if somewhat now dated web-news file containing a large list of WFRP web sites.
• Critical Hit : An excellent site crammed with information on all manner of WFRP subjects. Some of it seems to originate from or closely follow from Warhammer Fantasy Battle (rather than WFRP) too much sometimes for my personal taste, but otherwise a good site. The site previously hosted what were probably the most populous WFRP forums on the the internet at the time before the forums closure in August 2004.

** 2 Star Sites :

If you haven't visited it yet, do go and visit www.warhammer.net, the primary portal for WFRP on the web. There resides the WFRP Archives, containing a wealth of information for GMs of WFRP, much of it written by the folks, past and present, of the WFRP mailing list. Also included there is an excellent WFRP FAQ for those new to the game or who have had their head in a bucket of Warpstone for the last few years regarding WFRPs status regarding Games Workshop.

Other Miscellaneous and Roleplaying Links

If you use Notepad to edit plain text files, I recommend you consider Programmers File Editor (PFE) as a replacement. Admitedly, it's now showing it's age in terms of things like a lack of syntax highlighting, but it absolutely shines in its handling of very large files, handling them better than any other text editor I've encountered. Another excellent editor for HTML and program code well worth a try is Crimson Editor, or what may be its eventual code-base successor Emerald Editor.

Dysfunctional roleplayers everywhere will no doubt find roleplaying webzine Critical Miss interesting. Another wonderful link is Web Dice, taking you to a treasure trove of useful gadgets for busy GMs, from on-line dice rolls to instant villages, NPCs, character names, ... A brilliant site.
