WFRP fans and forumites have been patient as I disseminated bits and pieces of information about some of Fantasy Flight Games’ upcoming products for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay line.
Well, today that patience will be rewarded. I’m pleased to be able to provide a larger version of the book cover (seen below at the end of this article), featuring another great illustration by Pat Loboyko, as well as a sneak peek preview of what to expect in Shades of Empire. I’ve pulled together six-page downloadable PDF packet (2 MB) offering a glimpse at Chapter III of the book, dedicated to the mysterious Dreamwalkers, written by veteran WFRP author David Chart.
Here’s a summary taken from the Chapter preface, just whet your whistle:
|
The Dreamwalkers hunt Undead and Necromancers across the Old World. They are all servants of Morr, and believe that the God sends dreams to guide them to evils that must be crushed. Most bands of Dreamwalkers are formed around a Priest of Morr, and the Temples of that God support the group. In the Empire, the Amethyst Order also backs it, and more than a few Amethyst Wizards are found in its ranks. Only people with a particular devotion to Morr are allowed to join the group, and only those willing to devote much of their time to rooting out and destroying the Undead want to. As a result, it is not a large organisation, but its members are very dedicated. |
Eager for more? Be sure to
download the sneak peek PDF
(2 MB) to read more about the Dreamwalkers, their history, structure, goals and motives, and other interesting tidbits. And for you gamemasters out there, don’t fret – this preview only provides the information available in the player’s section. There’s plenty of secret GM-only information to enjoy and integrate into your campaign inside the pages of Shades of Empire.
