Cubicle 7 will be releasing a tie-in to Games Workshop's grand revival of the setting.

The Old World is Games Workshop’s ongoing revival of the Warhammer Fantasy setting as a wargame, after its destruction in 2015 to make way for Age of Sigmar. The weird part is, Cubicle 7 already sells a TTRPG based in the Warhammer Fantasy setting, and has for years—it’s called Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and is itself a continuation of a system that first came out in the '80s. This isn’t a new edition for that, and doesn’t seem to be replacing it—it’s a new, separate game. The obvious question is: why?

    A friend of mine is a Warhammer fan, so I got the WFRP rulebook to try and see if we could make a Warhammer-themed campaign.

    I liked some of the things I saw, but the system as a whole was so cryptic and convoluted, that we both decided it was not worth it.

    I wonder if this new edition will make an effort to streamline the rough edges of its predecessor.
