The early development of the # Warhammer world from @ Strike_To_Stun : http:// bit.ly/1Eu9qI9
A good overview of early publications showing how the grimdark world started out as a lighthearted collection of in-jokes and silly names. With a few memories from me.
Strike to Stun is the best of the Warhammer/WFRP forums, and well worth exploring.
Great Stuff!
The Siege of Karaz Lumbar! Holy Grimnir, just played The Harrower of Thanes where it was mentioned.
The 3rd Edition is full of citations of earlier stuff.
The discussion side-tracked onto a lost Warhammer game, The Tower of Screaming Death. I can't believe anyone outside the GW Studio would ever have heard of it.

I love the demon ZAHNARZT - which is german for DENTIST
in TTT there is Faction called "The Fist that holds the Hammer" - my group laughed about it, I didnt get it.
They heard: "The Fisted holds the Hammer" ... dirty minds, but they showed pity for the fisted one

Oh hell. And I thought that von Saponatheim was the most normal name I have heard in a while....
