WFRP: Scenic views of Altdorf

On this page I have gathered all black and white pictures that I have keyed to places in Altdorf. If you are strapped for inspiration when describing the city to your players, just pop into this page and describe what you see in one or more of the pictures.

One of many minor bridges around the Eastender Bridge. These smaller bridges often lead
to equally small islands located in the Reik.

WFRP: The Reiksport Bezirk

entering from the north.

The Reiksport Bezirk, which lies just outside the northeast walls of Altdorf, is the newest part of the city. It has grown from being a humble gathering of sheds and jetties, to become one of the capitals most important defenses against invaders, smugglers and Marien-burgers. The district has benefited greatly from the military prescence of the Imperial Navy, and the fact that the Emperor raised funds to extend the walls of the city to encompass most of Reiksport.

It is a rough and tumble area, and one has to keep a sharp eye out for thugs and cutthroats. The district is made up mostly of docks, warehouses, barracks and living quarters for the navy and those civilians who make their living off servicing the large merchant and army vessels that moor there.

WFRP: Unboxing WFRPv3

I got the box home a few days ago, but haven’t had the time to look more closely at it nor its contents. I did an unboxing with photos, but I guess most of you have already seen other pictures of the game. Still, this might give you some more insights into the package and the components included.

The box is big and thick and a bit intimidating:

The Box

There’s an external slip cover with a “lid” that opens up to reveal more details about what’s inside. The lid is help shut by two pieces of velcro:

The Box

A shot of the box from the side, the lid open. I’m not sure what I think of the logo. A bit too metallic for my taste:

The Box

First edition, second edition and third edition:

The Box

The covers of all three editions in plain view. They are all good in their own ways, but I’m a bit sad that third edition didn’t do the spiky hair dwarf motive as well:

The Box

The slip cover. As you can see, the box itself is wrapped in protective plastic. Which is good, because the slip cover was scuffed and somewhat defaced:

The Box

Top lid of the box removed and placed to the side. First thing I noticed was a catalog for FFG’s other games:

The Box

The four rulebooks and two plastic bags of cards and counters. You also see the cards in different stacks:

The Box

Another view of the cards and a glimpse of the extra ten-sided dice. You might notice that everything is resting on some card stock that’s inside the box:

The Box

The card stock has now been removed, for your viewing pleasure:

The Box

Under the compartments of the card stock I found the character sheets, more cards, dice, plastic stands and the three player boxes:

The Box

Here are the three player boxes folded and “assembled”. The dice are standard size six-sided, shown for scale:

The Box

Here you see the box placed in my bookshelf (showing roughly 10% of my gaming collection). It looks really out of place there, so I might rearrange the whole thing, especially when more boxes are aquired:

Well, that’s my first unboxing!
