The next series of posts will continue ‘The WFRP Story’, my ongoing attempt to describe the evolution of WFRP1 from its earliest beginnings. This is the fourth section of ‘The WFRP Story’. The previous section (parts XXI to XXV) left the story in December 1984, when WFB2 was published. This section will take the account up to the launch of WFRP1 in late 1986.

Since the events take place in a short period of time and the timing is straightforward to analyse, these posts eschew strict chronological sequence, and group related material. Parts XXVI to XXXIV will focus on the development of WFB and the Warhammer world. Parts XXXV to XXXVII will look at the development of WFRP itself. The final post in this section will contain a detailed timeline.

The next ‘WFRP Story’ post follows here.
