#WarhammerWednesday #MeettheTeam

Today we want to share an interesting meet the team piece with a focus on Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay from Rachael Macken. Rachael joined the Cubicle 7 team in 2019 as a Graphic Designer focusing on Warhammer initially. With years of experience in branding, design and print combined with a love of games, Rachael has made a great addition to our team. Her creativity and detailed research is obvious in the striking covers shown below for the Collector’s editions of The Enemy Within Volume 1. Rachael also worked on the layout for the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Wrath & Glory that we shared recently.

Hi All, 

I have always loved art, even as I was a child, I loved to draw and paint. As a teen, I found myself drawn to darker fantasy art, such as skulls, dragons and demons. In my spare time I doodled tattoo-style art and monochrome designs. I love to learn new things, especially if they have an artistic element. I studied Web Development and Graphic Design

We scanned and book-marked another 1st Ed WFRP book this week for those who would like to use them in their campaigns, but can’t get their hands on them!

"Ours is the true cause! Though this usurper sends his army against us, we shall not fail! When Hargrim’s Crown is ours, the Holds will flock to the side of Right and Justice. They will flock to us!"

Civil war is brewing among the Dwarf kingdoms of the southern World’s Edge. In the midst of this crisis, a lost Hold has been found: Kadar-Gravning, the Hold of legendary Hargrim, a Dwarf-King without equal. To the Dwarfs of the World’s Edge, there is no greater symbol of rulership than Hargrim’s Crown. He who owns the crown is the true King, and when civil war comes, the faction that has the crown will surely prevail…

But finding the crown won’t be easy. Kadar-Gravning was sacked a century ago by Orcs. Large parts of the

We hope everyone is managing to keep safe and well, given the current health crisis. If you're looking for a distraction why not catch up on all of our recent news and updates below?

As we near the finish line for the PDF release of Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Wrath & Glory, we wanted to share some of the new layout and style with you all! 

The first images below are mock-ups created by our designers to give you an idea of what to expect. Further down you can see the pages in more detail. We're really excited to share what we have been working on.

You might have noticed the Cherub flying in the top right corner of the page. This little wonder of the Adeptus Mechanicus will help you navigate the different chapters of the new Rulebook.

Cardgame

TugBoats is a two player ‘Tug of War’ cardgame where players play boats and tug ropes! Players plan their turn and choose a boat to reveal simultaneously. 

Choose wisely as the fastest boat gets first choice of buoy bonuses but the strongest team moves the ribbon one step closer to victory! Each boat has it’s own unique special ability to help turn the tides in your favor!

Suitable for ages 8+

Tugboats can be printed on 4 A4 sheets of paper, is suitable for ages 8+ and plays in 5-20 minutes. In an effort to make this Print and Play easier and more accessible, we’ve made the 30 Buoy tokens interchangeable with other popular games - so you can use components from another game to save you assembly time!

Additional Components needed

A token to mark each players strength and the ribbon on the start card.

Due to COVID-19 the Cubicle 7 team, like many others, are all working from home - because of this we could no longer run our weekly evening game/playtest in our offices in Ireland. So, we decided it was about time we ran our first fully remote game and share the audio with you all!

We know many of you are looking for a diversion or some escapism at the moment so we'd love if you listened in, the audio runs to about two hours fifteen minutes. Why not let us know what you think over on our social media channels!

So who took part? From top left above we have WFRP Producer Pàdraig Murphy (GM), Graphic Designer Rachael Macken, Editor Chris Walz, Age of Sigmar: Soulbound Producer Emmet Byrne and C7 CEO Dom McDowall. The C7 team were joined by Charlotte Hamilton who you might know from some of the Discord servers that discuss our RPGs such as RatCatchersGuild.

We ran Deadly Dispatch - an upcoming WFRP scenario by C7's TS Luikart.

#WarhammerWednesday

Today we have a blog post about Magic in WFRP from Clive Oldfield. Clive started playing WFRP virtually the day it came out, back in 1986 and has contributed to the second, third and fourth editions of the RPG, as well as the officially unofficial Warpstone magazine and so is an excellent source of information! Look out for another article from Clive soon!

Magic Systems

The magic rules for WFRP are made up from a number of smaller systems. Just like the Winds of Magic, these systems need to be manipulated and coerced before the full power of magic can be realised. Although I am not a Wizard, I will go over a few of the fundamentals of spell casting in WFRP, and a few tweaks to the existing systems.

The most straight-forward way to cast a spell, and a method that can only reliably be used on very low Casting Number (CN) spells, is to simply make a Language (Magick) Test. If this succeeds, then a CN: 0 spell is successful. CN: 0 means that no extra Success Levels are

We have been scanning 1st Ed WFRP books to allow us to offer them in PDF for those who would like to use them in their campaigns, but can’t get their hands on them! Now, more than ever these PDFs are an excellent way to keep yourself entertained and offer some escapism during this current crisis.

A hundred years on, the Ogres of the Bloodaxe Alliance once again threaten the Yetzin Valley. Their target is the great monastery of Eyrie, standing high on a pinnacle of rock above the Winter's Teeth Pass. And, a century ago, it was to Eyrie that the Dwarf-mage Yazeran fled with the fabled Crystal of Air when the Ogres first invaded the valley.
