In Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay you will create a band of (anti)heroes with ambition to better their lot, likely citizens of the greatest nation of the Old World, the Empire. While most are heedless of the true dangers that beset their world, your Characters will swiftly discover just how treacherous the shadows truly are.

The Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Rulebook contains everything you need to start running or playing roleplaying games in the Old World, including:

• Four distinct Character Species. Whilst most folk in the Old World are Human,they share their lands with stoic Dwarfs, arrogant Elves, and garrulous Halflings.

• 64 distinct careers, representing the way of life your Characters follow (and are likely desperately trying to leave behind) when not adventuring.

• A guide to the major religions of the Old World and the miracles performed by Priests.

• Spells from the eight magical traditions originally taught to Humans by Teclis of Ulthuan.

• A bestiary of foes, both common and scarce.

• Advice on running games as a GM.

• Extensive rules for adjudicating combat, diseases, and the many other misfortunes that routinely befall Characters in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.
