While Warhammer 40,000 undoubtedly rules the roost as far as cultural impact goes, it would never have existed without Warhammer Fantasy. Don't let the "low-tech" nature of the Old World fool you, however. Every faction here is still every bit as brutal and over-the-top as their 40k counterparts. The Empire still has guns and faith aplenty, the Greenskins are still muscleheaded monsters, and the elves are still smug old people. If you've always wanted to try out a tabletop campaign in this world, then now's the time, because Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay just got a BIG stack of Black Friday discounts!
This Black Friday weekend and beyond, Warhammer Fantasy books are on sale, with some going as deep as 50% off. As such, most of the books cost $20 or less during this sale.
You'll have your pick of tabletop RPG fun. Special mention goes to all editions of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay available on DTRPG.
For those curious about the latest edition from the setting, they should pick up Cubicle 7 Entertainment's version. The 4th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay core rulebook features everything the modern Warhammer nerd needs for actual play.
As a PDF, you have the flexibility of storing the e-book on many devices. As far as enticing people away from D&D 5e books, Warhammer Fantasy's familiar setting provides a strong opportunity.
The major difference between 5e and Warhammer Fantasy lies in their flavor. While D&D is versatile, it is often a story of heroic deeds with parties typically saving the day. In contrast, the default in Warhammer Fantasy is the complete opposite. Adventurers are fragile and pragmatic, as the brutal world punishes all who treat it with glib lightness.
