In my last post I discussed ‘The Black Knight’, the first White Dwarf adventure playable with WFRP. In this post I take a look at another adventure that seems rarely to be mentioned.

NASTASSIA’S WEDDING

‘A Rough Night at the Three Feathers’ is regularly (and deservedly) cited as one of WFRP1‘s best adventures. It is a little surprising, though, that its sequel gets so little attention.

‘Nastassia’s Wedding’, also by Graeme Davis, appeared in Pyramid, volume 1, issue 19. It is not described there as a sequel to ‘A Rough Night’, but it closely follows the same structure as the earlier adventure and even re-uses some of the same characters.

In fact, there are enough similarities in style that there is a slight feeling of déjà vu. Given how successful the first adventure was, it is not surprising that Davis revisited the formula, but I would want to leave a decent gap between the two adventures if I were running both.

The setting, though, is something of a departure from the WFRP norm. The adventure takes place at an aristocratic wedding. Even more unusually it features elements from Araby and Ind. WFRP so rarely ventures beyond the Old World that they are a welcome touch of exoticism.

The relative obscurity of ‘Nastassia’s Wedding’ seems undeserved. It’s an interesting and in many respects unusual adventure. Had it been originally published by GW, I suspect it might be better known and possibly have even seen a reprint.

This series continues here.
