WFRP is a game where much of the source material is referred to by the fans by using abbreviations of the books’ titles. This tradition has created a common ground for referring to the rules and books among players of the game, and I wanted to collect this in one place, for my own convenience. Here follows a list of common abbreviations found in relation to the WFRP roleplaying game. This list covers both the first and the second edition of the game.

I have collected these abbreviations from the Internet, but I’m not sure how widespread some of them really are. Feel free to post corrections and additions in the comments!
