In the next chapter, “A Guide to Karak Azgaraz”, we take a trip to this particular dwarf hold. That means their society and the settlements they’ve established. There’s no tour of the clans this time but a look at the history of these dwarves. Next, we size up and visit “Imperial Dwarfs”. Like the opening Provinces section, here we take a zine-like trip to the location, its history, politics, landmarks and plot hooks such as threats.
We pick with halflings for the next chapter and “A Guide to the Grand Country of the Mootland”. Why? Warhammer halflings are especially interesting, still managing to feel a bit like hobbits and yet surviving in this grim and perilous world. Without a doubt, the halfling clans are my favourite part of the book. Over the course of 10 or so pages, we look at about a dozen clans, with some optional rules for skills and talents. The first chapter, “Halfling Clans of the Reikland” does what it says on the cover. Next up, we get to the halflings, and they get two chapters. Remember, though, this is a slim book, especially for a hardback, and “look at” in this context sometimes means barely a page. There are six chapters, and the first is the broadest, with a look at The Grand Provinces as accurate for the game year 2512 IC. There’s a collectibility goal that the publisher is shooting for here. These new books focus instead on what you might want – and that’s one of the reasons why they look and feel so good. Everything you need is in the core rules. Cubicle 7 seem to have embraced this problem, though. If you’re a veteran Warhammer player, then you probably don’t need Archives of the Empire, either. You might be better off with one of the fantastic adventures available.
Just as someone only just starting out on an RPG might not buy a fanzine for it at the same time, I’m not entirely sure Archive of the Empire Volume 1 is the best bet for your first additional Warhammer FRP purchase. This is spread across six chapters and two appendixes.
Herein you’ll find information on Imperial dwarves, halfling clans and Laurelorn elves. In concept, this volume of Archives looks at some of the non-human races in the Empire. The hardback feels like an incredible zine. It’s a collection of great content for Warhammer FRP 4e but does not have much of a thematic spine. It’s just as well the book feels good to flip through because I suspect you’ll be doing a lot of it.Īrchives of the Empire Volume 1’s strength is also its weakness. So, despite the cost, you might prefer to get the hardback straight off. Like all the Warhammer FRP books I’ve seen from Cubicle 7, Archives of the Empire feels great in hand and is satisfying to flip through. If you already have the digital edition, the main argument for the format upgrade is to complete your collection of physical books. The PDF of the accessory has been out for a while.
