New GM seeking 2nd ed books

By Dirtyscribe, in WFRP Gamemasters

Hi guys, i know this isn't really the place to post such a thing but have done it anyway.

A friend of mine has decided he wants to get into GMing but wants to do it for 2nd ed only, do any of you have any idea where (in the uk) he could purchase the books (core rules a must) for reasonable prices, the ones on amazon and ebay are crazy!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Your ever loving muckyscribbler

P.S If you dont wanna reply on here feel free to send to my email address.

There's quite a bit of the 2e product line on Drivethrurpg.com as PDFs at a savings. If he doesn't mind electronic copies, I'd suggest he goes there first.

Your friend may want to try used book stores. They generally carry RPG products in the larger stores, however it's spotty what their selection is unless you want to play older versions of D&D. Those books are always plentiful.

I ended up tracking mine down through a combination of going to used book stores, Amazon (bargains only) and ebay. One thing I found out through ebay is you can haggle with the person selling the books and generally get them to their pricing by about 20%. Sometimes they counter offer and other times they'll turn you down outright, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

It took me about six months or so to track down every book in the line, but it was well worth it.

There are tons of information in those books for the warhammer setting that is useful for both a 2nd edition game or even the 3rd edition game if you'd like to port the information across and perhaps do a bit of conversion with the adventure materials.

Good luck
