Warhammer The Old World RPG (eng)

In the heart of the great forests, within long-buried lairs, and at the very edges of the world, they wait. Ravening hordes of inhuman creatures biding their time, plotting the downfall of every ordered kingdom, salivating in anticipation of the bountiful slaughter soon to come.

Common folk, bolstered by honest faith and comforting lies, misled by ignorance and superstition, cannot grasp the extent of the foes arrayed against them. They hide behind tall walls, watch polished ranks of soldiers march by, and think themselves safe. They are wrong.

Warhammer: the Old World Roleplaying Game uses a d10 dice pool system. To resolve most tests, you roll as many 10-sided dice (d10s) as your Characteristic rating, and look for results that score equal to or under your Skill rating. In most cases, just 1 success is sufficient to accomplish the task, but additional successes may be used to achieve extra effects, or overcome more direct opposition.

Your adventures will test your abilities to the limit, as you unravel murderous conspiracies, bargain with nobles and thieves alike, explore the darkest depths of the Great Forest, and brave the currents of the River Talabec. The greatest threats are those you meet in battle, who must be overcome with faith, steel, and gunpowder. Combat is fast-flowing and kinetic, rewarding tactical play and skilful manoeuvres. It is also perilously lethal, with careless or ill-prepared fighters meeting a grisly end.
