I will soon start playing WFRP as the GM and I would like for the players to have some idea of the Warhammer world and atmospere before we begin. The players are not very keen on reading a lot of text so I want to ask if someone knows a text on the internet (1-3 pages) that I can e-mail the players that will give them a good introduction?

That's actually been chatted about a couple of times - I've posted my "8 things about the Old World" list for example and others have added links etc if you search a bit - e.g. my post has the word cthulhoid in it I think,.

ah here

I hate to give you an overly simplistic answer, but have them read the players guide.
