It always rains in Nuln

It's time to end this year's Grimvember and I've decided to do so with a review of one of my favorite short scenarios - "Sing For Your Supper" by Nathan Greavey. I've GM'ed it only once, many years ago when I was still a fresh Gamemaster, learing the necessary ropes and niuances of this fine hobby. I've decided to run it right after the finale to the "Paths of the Damned" campaign (which actually references the "Sing For Your Supper") and was not dissapointed. My players also liked it a lot. They've liked it almost as much as this little fella enjoys getting grinded into a sausage! The premise is rather simple. The PC's have been hired by a rich man from Nuln to find his missing daughter. Along the way they will meet all sorts of unique and colorful characters, visit the Great Elm Deutz, eat a ton of sausages and uncover a truly nefarious plot, which could threaten the entire city.

Slowly we're getting to the end of this year's Grimvember. However, we still have some ways to go and monsters to slay, and every monster hunter from the Old World should posses a copy of the "Old World Bestiary" on his shelf! Before I'll start reviewing (or rather talking in length) this sourcebook, I'd like to dedicate this article to the memory of Carl Sargent, who sadly passed away a few days ago. He wrote some of the most iconic modules for WFRP, including the "Power Behind the Throne" for the classic "The Enemy Within" campaign, as well as the venerable "Lichemaster", which I personally adore. Rest in peace Mr. Sargent, you will be missed. I always loved bestiaries in RPG's. Reading the various entries about horrible monsters felt like delving into a lake of forbidden knowledge, and I still remember the fantastically written Monstrous Manual for the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, and the impact that it had on me a

There are a few official WFRP scenarios that I really like. Most of them have been written for the 1st edition of the game, and "Eureka!" by Paul Hargreaves is no exception. It first appeared in the 93rd issue of White Dwarf and was later included in "The Restless Dead" anthology. It's a favorite adventure of mine, as it's simple, tense and has that classic WFRP humor which really distinguished the very first edition of the game. Welcome to the 80's. Enjoy your stay The premise is simple. A band of unemployed adventurers, satying for a time in Nuln, have been hired by an eccentric inventor, one Wolfgang Kugelschreiber (I see what you did there Paul). Together with his plumpy assistant Fatboy Smallnose (sic!) he's being blackmailed by a band of thugs, who want to extort money from him and will not settle for empty threats. During their time as bodyguards for the inventor, the PC's will have a chance to examine some of his fantastic

Welcome to the third edition of Grimvember, where I review my favorite WFRP modules - both official and fan-made. Let's kick this year's grim & dark event with a look at "Chaos in the Rye" by Jeff Mason. I've GM'ed this adventure at the beginning of this year. It was sort of a prelude to the "Thousand Thrones" campaign that we're currently playing. Well, a prelude is perhaps too big a word. Simply put, I wanted a short scenario between "Terror in Talabheim" and the "TTT". Did "Chaos in the Rye" managed to satisfy my snobbish taste? I really dig that climactic art. It simply fits the tone of this scenario Yes. Yes it did. Jeff Mason managed to craft a really nice, cheeky horror-like scenario with this one. It has everything: cultists, chaos, daemons, beastmen and rye, which is the main antagonist of this adventure. Sadly, beside the title, Jeff's work has nothing to do with J.D. Salinger's excel
