Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Fifth Edition Cover Reveal

“A legacy of Grim and Perilous Adventure 40 years in the making!”

For over 40 years, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay has provided gamers with a beloved setting of perilous adventure, grim investigation and deadly threats. The new edition of the game builds upon Cubicle 7’s award-winning fourth edition ruleset with improvements made to clarify and streamline rules informed by seven years of development and playtesting. We’ve designed the game with backwards compatibility in its very bones. Your treasured campaigns, classic tomes and favourite characters can return to the tabletop with renewed purpose.

Among the swathes of dark and sinister forests, the Empire’s great cities such as Altdorf, Middenheim and Nuln are pinpricks of light and civilization amongst a threatening wilderness. Sigmar’s people praise him as a god and look to his priests for protection and guidance, while many others still worship the old gods. Since his time, tribes of goblins have crept back into the woods and bands of warped beastmen prey upon isolated travellers. The cities provide a haven, but are rife with dangerous criminals, corrupt institutions and insidious cultists who lead normal lives by day, but invoke the daemonic powers by the light of Morrslieb, The Chaos moon.
