This is where it all starts.
Released in 1986, the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay rulebook has become a classic in the gaming field. Created by some of Britain's top games designers and filled with artwork from the cream of Games Workshop's artists, it's the most successful British RPG ever published.
The book contains everything that you need to play: complete rules; in-depth background on the whole of the Warhammer Old World; advice to GMs and an adventure that not only provides new players with a gentle introduction to the game system and background, but which also leads into The Enemy Within campaign. Critically acclaimed on its release and still a fan favourite today, the first 'dark fantasy' RPG is still the best blend of sword, sorcery and horror.
Most games over ten years old - in fact most games over three years old - are already on their second or third edition. Sixteen years on, Warhammer FRP is still on its first, original release, and we're not working on a second edition either. There's one simple reason for that: it's not broken. It all works. It doesn’t need to be changed. Background and mechanics mesh to form a complete world of dark fantasy; and the career system is still just as innovative as the day it was published. The only thing that has changed is the number of fans of the game, which is still rising.
