The third adventure in the Doomstones campaign, Death Rock was adapted from The Feathered Priests, an AD&D adventure in The Complete Dungeon Master series. It was re-statted for WFRP by Brad Freeman and I developed it for Flame Publications. Art was sourced mainly from the Games Workshop archives, with occasional bespoke pieces by Tony Ackland.

The second adventure in the Doomstones campaign, Blood in Darkness was adapted from The Lost Shrine of Kasar-Khan, an AD&D adventure in The Complete Dungeon Master series. It was re-statted for…| Graeme Davis
Lichemaster was originally titled Return of the Lichemaster, and that title can still be seen on the headers of the even-numbered pages. The title on the cover was changed by Bryan Ansell, who felt that simpler was better. He was also behind the bright (some might say garish) cover colors of many Games Workshop products […]| Graeme Davis

It’s fairly common knowledge by now that Something Rotten in Kislev was not in the original plan for the Enemy Within campaign. Ken Rolston became available and GW management thought that his name on a WFRP product would help boost U.S. sales. I don’t know how much of a brief he received – I think […]| Graeme Davis
Last week’s post covered most of the silly names in Power Behind the Throne, and sharp-eyed readers called out a few more in the comments. This week, I’m moving on to the adventure itse…| Graeme Davis
Should citations in scholarly writing appear as author-year snippets, like (Pantcheva, 2018; Zelle, 2015), or numbers, like [1,2]? Let’s refer to these two methods as author-style and numeric-style. You may have also heard them referred to as the Harvard and Vancouver referencing systems. Author-style Here’s an example of author-style from our recent Sci-Hub Coverage Study published in eLife. First, see how citations appear in the main text: Notice how studies with 3 …| Satoshi Village
Power Behind the Throne was written out-of-house by Carl Sargent, so it was less affected by the Design Studio silliness that you’ve seen in previous products. As you’ve seen in the last post, though, Carl Sargent was far from humorless. Here are some things I found while re-reading the adventure: I’m sure there are more […]| Graeme Davis
The last post covered in-jokes and pop-culture references in The Enemy Within and Shadows over Bögenhafen. This time, let’s take a look at Death on the Reik. The name of this adventure was a …| Graeme Davis
A lot has been written over the years about the Easter eggs and in-jokes that were scattered throughout Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay’s first edition. Between 1997 and 2001, I wrote three articl…| Graeme Davis

Following on from a previous post, here’s another section of “Advanced Heroquest Undead Supplement” that didn’t make it into Terror in the Dark. This time, it’s a sele…| Graeme Davis
