Warhammer: The Old World

Overview

Warhammer: The Old World Roleplaying Game is a dark fantasy tabletop roleplaying game set in Games Workshop's Warhammer Old World, published by Cubicle 7 under licence. It was first discussed in a Wargamer interview in February 2025 with Cubicle 7's CEO Dominic McDowall-Thomas and senior producer Pádraig Murphy, and the Player's Guide, a 192-page full-colour hardback, was scheduled to begin shipping to pre-orderers in April and reach general release in late May, with the year not stated on the page. The Player's Guide is credited to Michael Duxbury, Steph Farrow, Cody Faulk, TS Luikart, Pádraig Murphy, Zsombor Sváb and Dominic McDowall. The game runs on the C7D10 system, a pool of ten-sided dice, and drops the percentile system of

Description

Players take on adventurers in the Old World, starting in the town of Talagaad, where each character begins with contacts, and the Gamemaster runs a campaign built around a Grim Portent, a hidden threat that targets the party. Character creation offers six Origins and 30 Careers, including Ratcatcher, Witch, Wizard and Dwarf Slayer, and the core book includes Dwarves, Halflings, two kinds of Elves and two kinds of Humans. A first-look reviewer found it a more frontier, monster-bashing experience than Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, with tactical depth in a straightforward ruleset. The game asks a table to accept lethality. Being hit leaves characters staggered, repeated staggers usually cause injuries, and there are no hit points, so fights can turn quickly. Magic is dangerous for the caster. It suits groups who want a Warhammer game with faster character creation and clear tactical combat.

Name: AJ Age: 32 Prounouns: She/Her/Hers Transgender lesbian, recently relocated from San Francisco to SLO. 10+ years of RPG experience, Forever GM. Looking to take a break from running game to acutally play, and preferrably something that's not 5th Ed (it's not off the table, just not my first choice). Like my games with a fairly even balance between RP and combat, canted more toward RP, push-come-to-shove. Most interested right now in "New" World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness 1st Ed (Promethean: The Created is a personal favorite), but open to most anything if the campaign premise sounds good. Have a car, willing to travel up to 40 miles if necessary. Zero tolerance for tranphobia, homophobia, racism, ableism, or any other form of bigotry.

Campaign Management
Hero's Rise is a digital companion tool and cross-system rules engine currently in development for  (TTRPG) Game Masters. Designed to solve the mechanical issues of running campaigns that borrow from multiple game systems simultaneously, the tool acts as an automated translator and calculator for tabletop mechanics. Instead of Game Masters spending weeks manually rewriting rules to make different games compatible, Hero's Rise automatically translates elements like feats, spells, status conditions, and action economies between systems such as Pathfinder and D&D. The tool ensures that hybrid games remain balanced without stalling gameplay. Hero's Rise is in pre-production and managed by a small team, with an early access launch targeted for late 2026 or early 2027.
