The WFRP pages have been updated! The WFRP2 Index is still being maintained, though not up to date at present (time commitments etc.). Other additional books will be added to the index in time.
The WFRP2 Index is now updated with info from Children of the Horned Rat, Tome of Corruption and WFRP Companion. Other additional books will be forthcoming in time.
After a long time not updated, the WFRP2 Index is now updated with info from Forges of Nuln and Knights of the Grail. Other additional books will be forthcoming in time.
New Guestbook! The old one was attracting spam, and I will no longer accept any entries in it. Instead, put a pin in the new guestbook map and let me know where you are...

In October 2004 came a further reported development on Warhammer Online. Despite being cancelled as a joint venture (between Games Workshop and developer Climax) by Games Workshop, news came in October that Climax have apparently never actually stopped working on Warhammer Online, and have been continuing to develop it, self-funded, even since the widely reported cancellation of the venture in June. As such, it appears news of Warhammer Online's demise in June was widely exaggerated, an impression not exactly dispelled by Games Workshop and Climax themselves before now. Read the interview with David Nicholson from Climax. Reports, including Nicholson himself in the interview, say that Climax are still in contact and collaboration with Games Workshop, and that the game will retain its dark Warhammer imagery and feel. Climax are reported to be seeking partners/publishers for the game.
Of especial not this month has been the closure of the Critical Hit forum and the high profile hacking attacks on the Warhammer.net and Strike to Stun forums. I have created a new page on the WFRP discussion forums to present news on WFRP forums and summarise their status.
I've updated the main WFRP page to split the pages up, hopefully speed up loading and generally make the WFRP pages more modern and navigable.
Big news on the WFRP license: it has been announced that Games Workshop have given control of WFRP to Black Industries, an imprint of GW's Black Library. Black Industries have released this press release stating that they will be developing a WFRP second edition, in collaboration with Green Ronin, expected to ship in 2005.
Updated WFRP Index in Download area with information from Beasts of Chaos.
Updated Witchhunt and Light of the Emperor chapters of the 40,000 RPG.
In their press release, Green Ronin also indicated a possible future official Warhammer 40,000 RPG. What form this might take, or whether it will happen at all, are unknown.
Updated WFRP Index in Download area with information from Warpstone issue 21 and old White Dwarf issues 100, 120, 126, 128, 173 and 175.
Updated WFRP Index in Download area with information from Liber Chaotica : Nurgle, Liber Chaotica : Tzeentch, the new Bretonnian Army Book, recent White Dwarf issue 290, as well as minor corrections.
Uploaded new version 1.3.5 of the QCCapture Windows utility. The previous version, 1.3.2, and probably versions before it, had a tendency to use a lot of CPU time (at least on my machine) when motion detection was enabled. This new version now allows the user to tune the amount of CPU that motion detection consumes. On my machine at least, this means that QCCapture now sits quite happily alongside SETI@Home without devouring all SETI's CPU resouces! :o)
Updated WFRP Index in Download area with information from Warpstone 20.
Also a minor update to the WFRP history page, expanding on the status of the WFRP license with Black Library.
Updated the WH40K RPG Bestiary with additional information on the Necrons and Tau.
Updated WFRP Index in Download section, with information from Liber Chaotica: Slaanesh.
Uploaded new version 1.3.2 of the QCCapture Windows utility, fixing a memory leak problem in one of the program components.
Brand new site search functionality, courtesy of Google. Type in keywords, and quickly find the site pages on the subjects of your choice. Find it on the main index page.
Updated the Traits and Skills documents to remove the Sixth Sense skill. It is replaced with a new Trait of the same name and the new Alert skill.
Updated WFRP Index in Download section, with information from the old Doomstones books, 'Fire in the Mountains' and 'Blood in Darkness'. 'Death Rock', 'Dwarf Wars', the Hogshead combined reprints, and 'Heart of Chaos' were already present in the index.
Updated the Divine Magic document. It is now larger, updated, and merged with the Divine Document.
Updated the WH40K roleplay section. Expanded the provisional Travel chapter with additional information on time travel (and time paradoxes - the perfect stuff of Chaos :o) and moved it to become Appendix 4. Also expanded the Eldar chapter with additional information on Harlequins.
I've updated the Ward-hammer documents, including:
These and other documents are available here to download.
On the programs front, I've released a new version of QCCapture, version 1.3.1. If you don't know, QCCapture captures images from a webcam on your PC (yes, it's Windows only), either on a timer basis, or when motion occurs, or both. New version 1.3.1 now minimises and hides itself almost completely - not the case before - though it does leave itself as a tiny square in the corner of the screen still. Trust me, it's much better.
Details of the programs on the Windows Utilities page - give them a try :o).
