I just got an email from Jeremy Stomberg at FFG. He reports, "[The] Tome of Corruption and the other remaining WFRP2 books will be going up this week."
Exciting news! For me at least. The ToC is the one I've been waiting for. It will round out my collection.
Besides roleplaying, I'm a "strategic web architect" in my day job.
I build a lot of software on my laptop and have more than an occasional need to have configurations handy for builds.
Here are three configs I often need and thought I would share (making them remotely handy as well):
config.niceconfig.niceconfig.niceOf course they do you no good on a Windows workstation, but might be helpful on Linux and Mac OS X. Be sure to look at each one for specifics to your platform. These were used to build an Apache service with SVN support.
My PC/NPC project got unintentionally delayed by wife, life, and labor.
I created the starting careers for the PCs that must advance through others to get there, for example an Abbot must start at Initiate.
And I'm still thinking about the format I want to use in each post... it has to be easy to print.
Watch for the first, Abbot in a day or two.
In the last several weeks, I have grown tired of my furor over the WFRP 3e. FFG has "owned" the game. I've even got the "I told you so..."
You know what, it is quite possible FFG had to do it. Albeit licensing, Green Ronin IP, or any from a host of reasons. You can pick any, mix, and theorize a conspiracy. I did. But, I'm now out of new ones. So, enjoy yours if you have one.
Oh, I'm not out of WFRP. I'm out of the market for anything not 2d edition. Hey, 3d is what FFG does best: cleaver imagining of a boardgame. But, I believe this will have no appeal to the greater fanbase. Nothing FFG or Jay Little has produced in introductions or presentation appeals to me. Oh, bitterness remains to a great extent and I do think that the new 3d edition will fail in the market. To that failure, I unashamedly raise a mug. It was the wrong direction to take the WFRP.
I'm out of steam in my nerd-rage. Ok. But I want ACD to remain a key site for WFRP session recaps, a robust campaign wiki, and place where WFRP 2d and 1st edition grognards can comment on the game that has, for 20 years, captured imaginations.
To that end, I'm starting a series of posts, A–Z if you will, of career complete NPCs, or advanced and basic PCs.
Watch for the first series all next week: Abbot, Admiral, Agent of the Shroud, Agitator, Ambassador, Anchorite, Animal Trainer. More than just a recounting of the Career Compendium, yet inspired by and beyond the tome; whether history, canon, fiction, or seeds, the NPCs will have career paths taken, a brief background narrative, and all trappings, skills, talents and advances noted.
WFRP is dead. Long live WFRP.
