FAL News: New WFRP campaign named

An observant N0-1_H3r3 on the BI forums discovered an entry for a new book for WFRP titled The Thousand Thrones.

The enigmatic entry.

My first thougth was that it’s the name of the new campaign from BI, and then poster Lord of the Pit posted a link to the cover, which seems to clinch it.

The cover.

As for now the discussion seems to be mostly focused on the price, which at 30 quid seems a bit steep. The cover looks smashing though, so I’ll certainly look into this in more detail when it’s released.

Now the only thing I wonder is … where the hell did he get the user name N0-1_H3r3 from?

Fanboy At Large merges with Altdorf Correspondent

Breaking news!

As you might know, I’m also running Fanboy At Large, a blog with general and D&D-related gaming tidbits. After much pondering during my vacation, I have come to the conclusion that I don’t have the time and resources to devote to two separate blogs.

My recent work with my iAltdorf project have made me want to focus more energy towards the Altdorf Correspondent. So I have decided that Fanboy At Large will instead become a feature of this blog for the time being. The main focus of The Altdorf Correspondent will still be WFRP, but the WFRP content will be sprinkled with other gaming material as well.

I will transfer the posts from Fanboy At Large to The Altdorf Correspondent during the week to come.

We’ll see how that works out!
