WFRP Chapter 103: Endless Road

Summary: Bandits on the road.




Chapter 103 ~ Moving Further North.
Planning to keep ahead of Rothchild our party continued north.  Reaching Wurtbad Rubinifa was able to find a shop with a pistol in stock as he started collecting the new trappings for his role as a highwayman.  Tayy and the others chipped in to buy some power and shot; it seems keeping a working pistol is very expensive!

We we had fifteen people and a pair of carts the few outlaws we saw gave us a wide birth as we travelled north from Wurbad through Lieske and on towards Obelheim.  Here we had to camp out on the side of the Old Forest Road.


We were disturbed in the night when a man and his dwarven companion tried to steal our horse and cart!  It seemed they were running from a gang of outlaws who decided to attack us just as we stopped the first set of thieves getting away with the cart.

Armed with his human bane sword Rubinifa quickly cut through most of the minions while Xena just managed to take out the leader but took several harsh blows in the process.  Tayy, Hayley and Master Dwarf helped clear out the last few ruffians. While Gwyn stayed with the Waltons, the other family that were travelling with us, to make sure they were safe from any stragglers who might try and pillage them.

After the battle Hayley interrogated the man who had been cowering in our cart.  He introduced himself as Dr Fleming.  The tale he told was of having been forced to work for an outlaw gang and was trying to flee to get a better life.  Tayy asked if he wanted a job as chief physician to the Countess of Ryazan.  A job offer he gratefully accepted.  He showed off his skills by bandaging up Xena.  Master Dwarf introduced himself as Rangrim and said he had rescued the doctor before he was hung in a local town and then they were chased by the bandits after having got out of the city.  Our motley band of travellers continues to grow.

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
