Warhammer Fantasy RPG Second Edition
Games Workshop have announced that they intend to close down their role-playing game publishers, Black Industries, in September 2008:
another games publisher has picked up remaining stocks and/or the rights to reprint published titles; i don't yet know for certain whether they'll actually be permitted to originate new material for this rpg (or for the out-of-print Dark Heresy, either), or how closely they'll be tied to changes in the War Games Worlds, which Games Workshop retain.
i would suggest not leaving off getting any of the titles currently available for this rpg that you want 'til too near this closing-date. - ppint.

Designed as the climax of the adventure campaign begun in Ashes of Middenheim, and continued in Spires of Altdorf above, but playable as a stand-alone adventure - or rather, as a seven-part adventure, this includes "A Guide to Nuln, The Jewel of the Empire", with detailed city maps, scores of plot seeds to expand the adventure further, and pre-[de-?]generated characters, to make quick-starting possible.

Kislev is trapped between the great and sprawling Empire to its south, and the maddening wastes of Chaos; it's noted for its doughty fighters who've withstood invasions from both, and its people's ability to withstand the incredible cold and the barren bleakness that assails their land in winter

- Realms of Sorcery (Second Edition) - New title in 23rd November 2005 hardcover ukL 25.00 (out of stock, advised out of print)
or rather, pretty much completely new edition of the spells & magic companion & sourcebook for the 2nd edition rpg, under the old title. ken's now looked at it, and says they've dropped some stuff he had to include because of inconsistencies in what games workshop'd published, but which isn't now necessary, and provided ken's hedge wizards with a proper career path (ending up with witches & warlocks, iirc), and kept others of his innovations, such as all magic users needing to be licenced... [- i think this means he approves of it *g* - ppint.][6/1/06 update - yes, on reflection, and after further use, he does. - pp]
- Renegade Crowns - NEW SOURCEBOOK in 29th November 2006 hardcover ukL 18.00
South of the Empire stretches a broken land of petty kingdoms & sometimes ephemeral principalities, in which a commoner can rise from rags to rule if he, or - rarely - she, be sufficiently gifted, and ruthless; far more who try, fail.

Cities and towns have been sacked, tens of thousands lie dead and the twin spectres of disease and famine follow in war's wake. Prophets of doom foretell world's end, flagellants preach blood and repentance, zealots urge pogroms and holy war - and Chaos undermines the whole foundation of order. Whilst the Emperor pursues the remnants of Archaon's armies, who will guard against the enemy within?

- Terror in Talabheim - NEW TITLE in 1st August 2006 hardcover ukL 15.00
It has survived wars and even close nearby battles, has the Eye of the Forest, thanks to the towering crater walls of the Taalbaston; it has the reputation of being one of the Empire's strongest fortifications, truly ein feste burg...
But what seemingly started as a localised outbreak of the plague in Taalagad spreads into the heart of the crater, affecting all alike at random, with no regard for station - and strands your group of adventurers, heros & maybe ne'er-do-wells together with all the inhabitants as potential carriers - or victims: and investigating its spread, they become entangled in a perverse, and peculiarly nasty plot. Do they have what it takes, to get out of this extremely insanitary mess, and defeat the planned invasion?
Stand-alone adventure and Sourcebook detailing the districts & neighbourhoods of Talabheim, its history, its customs & laws.
this is advised to go particularly well with Children of the Horned Rat [- make resist roll (d1000) vs. Spontaneous Gratuitous Monty Python Joke - and consequent fine - pp.]

- Tome of Corruption - NEW TITLE in 11th October 2006 hardcover ukL 24.99
left over from the insanities of the old world, a Foul Disease infects the present-day, its taint spreading with the wind, and in thewater, polluting the very land itself - and all that it touches. And wherever it touches, it breeds corruption and decay, manifesting as malformation and mutation, and driving folk mad with its evil: this is Chaos.

this is the sourcebook of faith and religion in the world of Warhammer, where loathsome ratmen (and women) plot in its plentiful dark corners, Chaos hordes periodically sweep down upon you from the north, and your very neighbours may be vile, filthy mutants, and Witch Hunters may have you seized, tortured and burned for consorting with Chaos upon anonymous tip-off, only a very strongly-held faith can hope to provide compensation;

- Witch Hunters Handbook - New accessory available 1st November 2006 ukL 11.99
Secrets of the Templars of Sigmar; their bloodthirsty Inquisitorial techniques described in eye-watering detail, fantastically, gruesomely & lovingly depicted in many illustrations & decorations; A Grim Book [- as opposed to A Grimm Book, n.b. - pp.]
The Warhammer Fantasy Role-Playing Game has been revised by Chris Pramas of Green Ronin, and is now published by Black Industries. The core rulebook looks good, though it's much too soon to comment sensibly upon the revision - other than to state that the character career structure has been kept - and that it isn't d20: all dice rolls are either d10 or d100 - so a reasonably small number of d10s in two (or more) colours is all that's needed. (and ken walton's inclined to re-instate "cool" *g*);
