"And at the appointed time we shall rise from our secret
places and throw down the towns and cities of The Empire.
Our brethren shall pour forth from the forests to slay
and burn. Chaos will cover the land and we, the chosen
servants, shall be exalted in HIS eyes
Hail to Tzeentch, Changer of the Ways
- Njawrrthakh 'Lzimbarr Tzeentch."
Excerpt from The Book of transmutation
Welcome to the recruitment thread for my run through of The Enemy Within campaign.
One of the greatest campaigns of all time(it is so good that even the french like it! Casus Belli Magazine having voted it the best campaign ever). The Enemy Within is a richly written and entertaining journey across the Old World setting of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. It mixes dark humour, horror, intrigue, investigation and bloody combat to produce a story that has something for every one.
Originally written for the first edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and in a setting that has changed a great deal over the years, I will be running a version convert for second edition and with some updated setting elements. I have also included a number of excellent first and second edition adventures to muddy the waters, and to provide interesting red hearing and side treks. However, the spirit of the original is alive and kicking.
A word about books:
While it will not be necessary to own any of the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay books to take part, I would advise getting at least a PDF of the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Edition Core Rulebook.
I also heartily recommend Sigmar's Heirs, if you wish to learn a little more about The Empire.

Hey guys,
I got called into work while I was setting up this thread yesterday.
Firstly, yet Patrik, the game is going to be run here.
Secondly, a few house keeping details.
The enemy within in my experience runs best with a relatively small group, so there will be five PC slots if there is a lot of interest, but I would prefer to run with four PCs.
Due to the fact that this is The Enemy Within, I fully expect that some people who are interested will have played it before. I am fine with that. I ask that if you have, you let me know though, so that I can priorities those who have not had the chance.
I now that Bilbo Bang-Bang is also interested, and requested a place before this thread even went up.
I'll be posting the character creation options in the next few hours.
Lastly: Obviously, my spelling and grammar are not perfect. I am dyslexic, and it sucks. However, this post is as bad as it gets I promise, as I am bashing it out in a hurry because interest in the campaign has picked up rapidly.
I will be taking a great deal more time and care over posts from this point on, so hopefully it will be a minimal issue for you guys.
Discussion thread is up. Character creation guidelines can be found there.
Pre-gens are on there way.
This sounds fairly interesting, I play 40k, and I have looked into fantasy but I do not know the system at all. Would someone help me go over the system fine points or the general idea is it d20 etc?
Hey Jacetms87,
WFRP runs using a percentile based system. When you want to achieve something, you role a a percentile dice and must roll under or match the appropriate skill. So if you want to lift something heavy, you need to get equal too or less than your strength. If you want to hit some one in melee, you must roll less than or equal too your Weapon Skill.
Numerous factors modify such rolls, so if the GM considers the rock you want to life to be 'very difficult', that would be rolls with a -30%.
Skills also modify the ways attributes work. Basic skills such as Gossip and other things any one can have a crack at without specialist training, can always be rolls. If you do not have the skill however, you roll only half the attribute. Advanced skills such as secret languages or academic knowledge cannot be rolled at all, if you do not have the appropriate skill.
So how do you work out what your attributes are? Well that is based on your Race. At character creation, you roll 2D10, and add bonus to each attribute based upon your race. races also give you a small number of skills and talents(which are a little like feats, only infinitely more common, and specific.)
Race is only half your character, the other being you profession. Some people describe professions being like classes, but it isn't really accurate. professions are packages of advances, which are purchased one at a time. Such advances are things such as attribute boosts, new skills and new talents.
So as you can see it is fairly different from d20.
Second edition however has taken some aspects of D20into itself, such as defined actions, like move actions.
