Welcome to The Old World:ForewordGrim and Perilous!We have been fans of Warhammer Fantasy for about years now. The st edition of WFRP wasour very first roleplaying game and to this day, it holds an incredibly special place in our hearts.In , when the revised version of the famous Enemy Within came out, we were absolutelysure we wanted to try this campaign again. However, while the th edition of WFRP is an amazinggame and we truly love it (and in this rulebook you will find some game mechanics heavilyinspired by th edition), this time we wanted something more narrative. The rd edition was beyondour reach, but we already had some experience with Genesys, so we decided to try it. Whilein general the game mechanics seemed good, our first attempt at a conversion failed miserably.It was overly complicated, clunky and had so many exceptions and special rules, it turned outalmost unplayable. After countless iterations and throwing out over % of our work, we finallyhad something good. Something we would like to share with the RPG community.By publishing our work, we don't mean any harm or challenge to any copyrights held by GamesWorkshop, Cubicle , Edge Studios, or anyone else. Consider The Old World: Grim and Perilousto be our tribute to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and roleplaying games in general. We hopeyou have fun while reading this book and playing during your game sessions.About this ProductThis is an unofficial, free fan-made expansion for all of you who love Genesys and the world ofWarhammer Fantasy. It combines some of the best game mechanics of Warhammer FantasyRoleplay editions -, while keeping the simplicity from the basic Genesys rules. It adds manynew talents and skills, new career creation and specialization options, new rules for magic,corruption and social status. This expansion is light in fluff, so you need to have original Warhammer'srulebooks and adventures to be able to fully explore the fantastic world of WarhammerFantasy. However, feel free to use this supplement to create your own heroic dark fantasysetting as it adds plenty of new talents, weapons, gear and many other things which may improveyour game sessions.What do I need to play?As always, you will need the Genesys Core Rulebook, a bunch of narrative dice (or an app) anda group of friends, but the expansion relies heavily on Realms of Terrinoth in terms of weapons,gear, some talents and crafting rules. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, we do not provide thegame setting and adventures other than "The Circle", so Warhammer Fantasy rulebooks (preferablythe th edition, which are now easy to get) are necessary to use this suplement to play inWarhammer Fantasy setting.The Old World: Grim and Perilous 5
