Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play, 1st Edition
Dwarfs: Stone and Steel
With the publishing of the much anticipated Realm of Sorcery (RoS) for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Hogshead has begun its printing of books dedicated to the various races of the Old World in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (WFRP) with its first book: Dwarfs: Stone and Steel by Alfred Nunez Jr.
Keep in mind it is difficult to judge WFRP products, since Hogshead (hereafter referred to as “HH”) requires approval from Games Workshop for any of its products and must follow closely any precedent set by Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) by Game Workshop (GW). Thus the finished and approved product may not be what the author or HH set out to produce.
In WFRP and WFB, dwarfs have been your typical gruff and dour dwarfs, with a splash of steampunk tossed in to sell minis. It was my hope that the product would expand beyond the typical genre conventions typified by Tolkien and a generation of gamers.
