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, and personal perogative.

**** 4 Star Sites :

• Warhammer.net : An excellent WFRP Portal with probably the most complete set of links (if perhaps abused as a mechanism by some unscrupulous sites that seem to register themselves far more times than they need to). Also home to the excellent Warhammer Archives and WFRP FAQ. Just two things keep this site from attaining 5 stars - the abuse of its facility for creating links, and that the WFRP Archives, while useful, are not being highly maintained or added to as of late.
• Garret Lepper - Ye Olde Den of Iniquity : Ye Olde Den of Iniquity is a highly acclaimed site, a mine of information with a wide array of downloadable material, covering careers aplenty and describing a lot of background. At last check, this site was not up but the owner Rev. Lepper has indicated that he intends to bring back the site.
• 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.
• Kenneth Madsen - Warhammer Forever : Also boasting a great deal of information on a wide range of subjects, a highly recommended site.
• Black Industries : The official site of Black Industries, the imprint of Black Library (and thus Games Workshop) created to develop WFRP in the post-Hogshead era. A site to watch for news on the hotly anticipated development and release of WFRP version 2. The site is home, naturally enough, to the Black Industries official WFRP forum (even if the Strike to Stun forum is more regularly used at present by many WFRP-ers).

*** 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.
• Portent : A rumour site for Warhammer Fantasy Battle, Warhammer 40,000 and Games Workshop in general. These rumours relate specifically to the battle games, not to WFRP, and so the site is of only limited use in defining extra material and background for WFRP. Its WFB content can be a useful barometer for the near future of WFB, however, which will inevitably affect WFRP in some form.
• 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 :

• Morton Krog - The grim, perilous world of Warhammer : An interesting site from one of the grand-daddies of the WFRP scene, it seems sadly somewhat out of date and unmaintained now. At last check, the site was not available. That could be a technical glitch, or could be the site has sadly disappeared from the 'net.

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. Another excellent editor for HTML and program code well worth a try is Crimson Editor. Check out also the homepages of University of Sheffield IT committee (USIT), with whom I am quite involved, and the site of the excellent new BBS-in-development, Babel.

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. And finally, just 'cos I'm curious, are you a gamer?
