WFRP Chapter 102: Breaking Point

Summary: Picking up pioneers as we travel north.


Chapter 102 ~ Moving North.
Having met up with the rest of our friends we decided to give up on going to Nuln and changed our plans.  The best way to travel to Ryazan looked to heading north to Talabheim and then taking the river to our final destination. Taking our new cart and horses we all headed north travelling through Vigaun and then on to Worden the following day.

Hear there were two inns the Lovely Inn and the Old Inn.  We got a room at the later but it was very expensive five crowns rather than the two we had paid the night before in Vigaun.  Talking with other patrons and we ate the poor quality stew they told us armed med had turned them away from the Lovely Inn and paid them come to this one.

Seeing an opportunity to gain some coins we wandered over to the other establishment.  Four armed men warned us off and paid us five crowns to go to the other inn.  Taking the cash and leaving we looped around to the other side.  Here Rubinifa and Tayy sneaked into the tavern while Gwyn and Zena earned another five crowns for not going any further!


Inside Tayy and Rubinfa had the best beer and pie they had eaten in ages.  The owner, Jason Walton, said he was having problems with Nathan Rothchild the owner of the other inn who wanted his daughters hand in marriage and she had refused.

Tayy made an offer for him to relocate his family and brewery business to Ryazan.  He was interested but wanted us to go and get the Countess, who was resting at the other inn, to talk about it more.

As we were leaving Rothchild and a dozen men arrived.  With Tayy hiding Rubinifa faced them alone. With bluff and brash candour he convinced Rothchild he would bring Elizabeth to him at dawn once he had explained the limited options to the family.  Rothchild and his men left promising to kill Rubinifa if he double crossed them (which is of course what he immediately did).

Returning inside he told Jason what had happened and the the family immediately packed up what they could carry and left the city.  Returning to the other inn we also left in the middle of the night.  Our two groups med up outside the city and we all hurried north travelling through the dark to Potting and then, having changed the horses, on to Tarshof.  Here we finally had to stop to get some rest as everyone was exhausted.  Would we be able to get to Talabheim before Rothchild, or Mitchell, found us?  Only time will tell...

Blood Bowl Inducement Review

Blood Bowl Inducement Review As most of the inducement options from Death Zone are allowed in LBBL games I thought it was worthwhile providing a summary of what is available.  I have also added a quick colour code to say if I think the options are Good , Bad or Situationally useful.  Remember as per the League handbook you must bring along an official copy of the relevant rulebook for any Inducement you are using.  This guide is intended to be used to help you decided if you want to buy a copy of Death Zone not as a replacement for it.  Remember folks we get an extra 5% off at Geek Retreat on League night! Death Zone offers (In)Famous Coaching Staff, new Wizards, Named Referees and a small number of other cheap options for using up petty cash.   0-2 (In)famous Coaching Staff Galandril Silverwater 40,000 gp Elven Kingdoms Extra Cheerleaders and a minimal chance of extra Team Re-rolls if that kick off event happens.  I will pass thank you.

WFRP 1st Edition Advanced Careers Chart

Image
  Warhammer Fantasy Role Play has always had an interesting system with using careers as a way for characters to advance in the game.  With over sixty basic careers they is a lot of options that players can have for their character. When you then move on into all the Advanced Careers there is a lot of options.  Coming back to the game I wanted to know what routes were available to get from which advanced career to another. As no chart existing I created one including key Characteristics that are available. Key Rectangles show Advanced Careers while ovals are Basic Careers.  I have shaded in those careers that cannot be reached from other Advanced Careers.  Given the Magical careers do not really connect with the others I left them off the diagram. The Highwayman, Duelist, Assassin and Outlaw Chief form four corners of our diagram with the Mercenary Captain as the central hub.  This allows for characters to move round the majority of advanced careers without ever having to go back to a

TourPlay Redrafting Guide

Blood Bowl Redrafting  A quick guide for redrafting teams using TourPlay for League tracking When your team has been submitted to join the league you can see at the top of the screen a message saying the team is redrafting and all the players are greyed out with a warning triangle at the start. Your team value should show zero and your treasury be 1,300,000 gold.  If either of these are not the case then STOP and contact an admin before continuing with redrafting. When you select each player you are given the option of hiring them again.  You can see the cost to rehire, including agency fee, shown below the players value.  If you elect to Fire a player TourPlay will ask for confirmation but once you say yes that player is gone.  There is no way to bring them back! When you hire a player the system will roll to see if any Niggling Injuries are healed. Players cost an extra 20k to rehire for each previous season they have played.  If you rehire five players after one season that will lea
