By battalion, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

Last Black Friday most of the Warhammer 2nd edition rulebooks were purchased. Are there any more sales coming ?

They just had a sale for Xmas for the WFRP 2E books still in stock. Saved me some money as I bought several of them as gifts for my friends.

Shame on you skolo.

This is FFG's Warhammer Fantasy Role Play forum. FFG published books for both versions (2E and 3E) and still sells 2E books. Just because they use the 3E logo doesnt mean 2E isnt welcome.

And I understand you are largely joking, but still... it was a worthy question that deserved a honest answer.

ja ja, shame on me :P

Most of the 2nd ed books are available here or at rpgdrivethru. This is another option if you do not need the physical copy - not as tactile I'll grant you, but still a viable option.

For the most part the fluff in the 2nd ed books is just as valid in 3rd ed - barring a few timeline discrepancies, etc - but you do get a nice picture of the Old World.

As 2nd ed is out of print I can see the prices rising steadily, so all reasonalble prices should be considered.

I hope you can find the books that you need.

The 2nd edition of wfrp describes a really great universe, full of fluff in each supplement. I bought them to play on 3rd edition so to say. Please just compare the Tome of Redemption (2nd edition) with Tome of Blessing + Sign of Faith. One describe a lot of stuffs to make the Old World alive when the others are PCs RPG centered.

Ya there's more fluff in the 2nd edition books. However one of the problems of 2nd edition for my group after awhile of playing was the lack of crunch. Every career felt too similar and there were so few talents to choose, all of which just gave plain 5% upgrade... boring!!! 3rd edition hit the point as more crunchy but not too much a la D&D horrible feats and powers bloat!

Haaa and its Tome of Salvation if your talking about the priest book... tome of redemption is non-existent, unless you speak french like me which was the translation they used :)

You are right and I agree all along : I am french, I was speaking of Tome of Salvation (= rédemption), V2 has more fluff, V3 has more crunch.
