In response to requests from gamers Fantasy Flight Games has embarked on an ambitious publishing program in support of its Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game with the fall 2010 release of three hardcover volumes, The WFRG Creature Guide ($29.95), The WFRG Players Guide ($49.95) and The WFRG Game Master’s Guide ($39.95).  The Guide Books provide all the guidelines and rules to play the game using just the books and the custom dice, allowing players who wish to engage in more traditional role-playing experience the ability to do so.

 

While the Warhammer Fantasy Role-Playing Core Set remains the ideal entry point for new groups getting started with the game, FFG is releasing three companion products for the hardcover volumes, providing new players with the components needed to full realize their characters.  The Creature Vault (MSRP $39.95), The Player Vault (MSRP $39.95), and The Game Master’s Vault (MSRP $29.95) will all be released around the same time as their corresponding hardcovers.  These “Vaults” give players access to core tools such as action cards, career sheets, character standups, and creature cards.

 

The Creature Guide is the first of the WFRG products to feature a new user-friendly format for the game, with all the information needed in one handy reference volume.  The Creature Vault contains cards, sheets, and other components that help GMs run the game.  By transferring creature and NPC information from the charts and spreads in the Guide to the handy cards and sheets, The Creature Vault provides an efficient and tactile way to manage encounters and reference key information on the fly.

 

The Player’s Guide presents all the information a player needs to play Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.  The book contains the rules and gameplay information from the Core Set, expanded, updated, and clarified.  The Player’s Vault contains the key character-focused components from the Warhammer Fantasy Role-Playing Core Set, including cards, tokens, and career sheets all packaged in a sturdy storage box.

 

Likewise The Game Master’s Guide contains all the pertinent Game Master info from the WFRG Core Set in one hardcover volume, plus GM advice, encounter and campaign management information, as well as handy references to the mutilation and corruption rules, plus charts and tables featuring critical wounds, insanities, miscast results, and other randomized game effects.  The Game Master’s Vault contains the cards, tokens, and sheets to supplement the info in The Game Master’s Guide.
