Hi anyone know if there will be a character folio book or dm campaign book.

I think these are both important because for a player it gives you something to take away from the table.

Also the dm campiagn book is invaluable for notes ect.

Of coarse you can make your own but it seem to me to be important for this edition.

Your thoughts please.

There are more important things to focus on, and I'd have no interest in buying it, and haven't for any other roleplaying games because they don't give you anything extra except convenient storage. Still, to each his own.

FWIW there are a few non-game specific GM journals in the market. I don't any great need for either product with WFRP3e (any more than any other RPG).

In fact, the player tuckboxes are essentially the character folio. Let you players take theirs home with all the bits for their PC if you want. They can add a notebook if they want to take notes.

In some ways, I think a character folio would be redundant. The character sheets, career cards, action and talent cards, and the tuck boxes are designed so that they act like a folio. What's missing, from my point of view, is somewhere to write down notes about your character's background details and maybe a journal (or just a place to keep story notes).

But you've given me an idea. Since I like creating game aids for players and GMs, what I might do is create a sheet that's the same size as the character sheets, maybe with a nice parchment background. This would include space for character details (height, weight, age, birthdate, birthplace, distinguishing marks, dwellings, titles or honors, parents' occupations, siblings, spouse and children, cherished memories, events leading up to becoming an adventurer, hobbies and so on). I might even create a little fan-book so that players can randomly generate some of those details.

On the back side of this sheet would be open space for a journal or game notes (or just to copy down the relevant mechanical info from the character sheet or your card inventory). This would give you something you could take home after play, and could be slipped under your character sheet during play so that it doesn't take up any extra table space.

I'm not sure that GMs need a similar game aid. I usually type up all my game notes after play, and write my GM notes on scratch paper during play. But it might be useful to have some blank sheets for creating new monsters or NPCs. I'll give that some thought.

DD - totally awesome - look forward to what you come up with *waves

Yeah, it would be great if you made that DagobahDave. I would certainly use it.

I am interested by all your replies.

However players like to have something to take with them or am i missing the point.

However my thanks

Not sure what you want the players to take with them apart from some notes on the session? With this edition of WFRP the rest of the stuff the player needs can be stored in the boxes that come in the core set, as mentioned above.

My players are grateful just to leave everything at my house so that they don't have to cart their stuff around!
