#WarhammerWednesday

Today’s blog post from WFRP Producer Pádraig Murphy concerns monsters - why they are still worth pursuing and how to hunt them! Pádraig offers examples of unusual and insidious beasts GMs can utilise to surprise and delight players and raise their expectations!

So, settle in, read on and distract yourself by hunting some hazardous beasts!! If you fancy ordering the WFRP Core you can do that on our webstore here or purchase just the PDF here.

Hunting Monsters for Fun and Profit

Hi All, hunting monsters is, in many ways, the low-hanging fruit of roleplaying games of every stripe. Much like kicking off an adventure in a tavern, or clearing a basement of giant rats, it’s very much a case of been there, slew that. Below are three arguments for pursuing this kind of adventure in your game all the same.

The Best Part of a Trope is Subverting It

A small village, poorly travelled and rarely recalled in the halls of power, has a problem.

Hi All, we have been a little quiet over the last few days as the team travelled home from GAMA Expo in the US and settled back into work, we want to update you now fully and assure you that we are still working away on all of our upcoming releases. We had a successful GAMA despite it being quieter than previous years - more updates on it soon!

As we have seen over the last few weeks, the global spread of COVID-19 has been impacting us all. Like many others, Cubicle 7 staff are mostly working from home, but order fulfilment continues as normal. 

Online Orders

We are taking precautionary measures when handling goods, wearing disposable gloves, wiping surfaces and washing hands regularly. Our delivery partners also have strong COVID-19 measures in place, for example DPD have changed to contactless deliveries - see here for more.

Due to international flight and local suspensions we cannot currently deliver to the following countries: China, Japan, Argentina,

We love hearing from the wider RPG community and this week we want to introduce you to Charlotte, who some of you may already be familiar with from Twitter, Facebook or the multiple Discord servers Charlotte moderates!

Let’s start this off with a brief introduction: I’m Charlotte (aka Foxfyre) and I run the various Discord servers surrounding the latest Warhammer Roleplaying Games. You may also see me from time-to-time around Facebook dropping invites for the discord servers. I talk a lot and invite people to discord. It’s what I do.

I got started with the Rat Catchers Guild in May of 2018 with Matt and Liam, who have moved on to run their podcast ‘Mud & Blood Podcast’, where they review, interview, and run actual plays of gritty games. You can also find me on there taking part in the APs. 

To be honest, I don’t remember how it all started, I think I was looking to see what was around for WFRP at the time. I spotted  a link for a new server, and being the Discord junkie I am, I clicked

#MortalRealmsMonday

Today we’re revealing the final Sylvaneth Archetype for Age of Sigmar: Soulbound— the Tree-Revenant Waypiper. 

Warriors of the Sacred Forests

You are a warrior-spirit of the living wood, and woe betide any who trespass on the sacred forests

The Tree-Revenants are the lethal foot soldiers of the Sylvaneth glades, the standing army of the war-groves. Outside of battle they tend to be sombre beings, with impenetrable customs that no creature not of sap and heartwood could hope to understand, but which to the Tree-Revenant mean everything. Each Tree-Revenant carries in their heartwood the echoes of the warrior lives that preceded it, borne through the generations, soulpod to soulpod, blending with and shaping much of the spirit’s martial style and personality. Seldom does a Tree-Revenant encounter a situation that they have not, somewhere in their ancestral memory, faced and overcome a hundred times before. This spiritual lineage, it is believed, roots all Tree-Revenants

Enemy Within & Enemy in Shadows Collector's Edition Update

As an added bonus for everyone who ordered the Collector's Edition, we’re including a little something extra. Along with Enemy in Shadows and its Companion volume, certain agents of the Purple Hand have tucked into the slipcase a folder with all of the handouts, maps, missives, and notes you’ll need to pass to your players during the course of the campaign. 

No need to risk your beautifully bound volume’s spine by flattening it on the photocopier, or otherwise sacrifice anything to the ruinous powers! 

This will be included with all future volumes of The Enemy Within Collector’s Edition as well, so - if you opt to buy a future volume you will still receive this extra.

While we are currently printing Vol 1 - it takes extra time to complete the Collector’s editions as there are additional elements in the print process that help make these editions extra special. We will share more on delivery dates as soon

#MortalRealmsMonday

Did you catch last Thursday's art reveal and update? We were delighted to share the Great Parch (above) by the talented Jared Blando and today we have two more art reveals to share!

Only those who burn belong to life.   

- Vendell Blackfist, last great Smith-Lord of the Direbrand Tribe

The Great Parch has stood at the centre of many of the greatest events in Aqshy’s history, for good and ill. It was on the Great Parch where many of the barbarous tribes of the east first willingly embraced worship of the Blood God, but also where Sigmar first unleashed his Stormcast Eternals and struck back against the armies of Chaos. The indomitable Fyreslayers were born on the Great Parch, yet so too was the twisted Goretide of the terrible Chaos Warlord Korghos Khul. The Great Parch has been the backdrop for some of the greatest victories and vilest atrocities in the history of the Mortal Realms. This is where your story begins.

#40kFriday

We are busy putting together all the exciting elements that make up the W&G Rulebook, from the range of archetypes to the extensive wargear. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter pages for more details, the team is focused on finishing the PDF, and we will update you on its release date as soon as we can.

‘We are judgement. Death is absolution.’

—Chapter Master Tygranas Dalir

Enigmatic and dour, the Absolvers Chapter of the Astartes are based — and now trapped — in the Gilead System. Recruitment of Neophytes has skyrocketed since the appearance of the Great Rift to alleviate the burden of these stalwart warriors, oath-bound as they are to defend the Imperium’s citizens from the fell foes of the Emperor.

The citizens of the Heartworlds whisper of the righteous wrath of the Absolvers, relentless and draconian in their fight against heresy. Each noble Astartes knows they have no reinforcements; cut off

Hello! Welcome back to #MortalRealmsMonday. As mentioned last week, we’re in the final stages of playtesting for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound. We’ll be discussing more of our playtests, but first we wanted to share some insight into how combat works.

Put ‘em Up

Before we get into things, if you haven’t read our posts on how tests work in Soulbound, you can find them here and here. Read them? Cool, let’s get to it.

In Soulbound, characters have three major combat traits: Melee, Accuracy, and Defence. 

Melee is how effective you are in hand-to-hand combat. It is derived from your Body and your Weapon Skill. When making a Melee Attack, you make a Body (Weapon Skill) Test.

Accuracy represents your marksmanship and ability to pick out a target. It is derived from your Mind and your Ballistic Skill. When making a Ranged Attack, you make a Body (Ballistic Skill) Test.

Defence is how hard you are to hit, and how adept you are at avoiding danger. Defence is derived from your Body and
