The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Welcome to The Old World:
Foreword
Grim and Perilous!
We have been fans of Warhammer Fantasy for about 20 years now. 1st edition of WFRP was our
very first roleplaying game and to this day, it holds an incredibly special place in our hearts. In
2019, when the revised version of the famous Enemy Within came out, we were absolutely sure
we want to try this campaign again. However, while 4th edition of WFRP is an amazing game
and we truly love it (and in this Rulebook you will find some game mechanics heavily inspired
by the 4th edition), this time we wanted something more narrative. The 3rd edition was beyond
our reach, but we already had some experience with Genesys, so we decided to try it. While in
general the game mechanics seemed good, our first attempt of conversion failed miserably. It
was overly complicated, clunky and had so many exceptions and special rules, it turned out almost
unplayable. After countless iterations and throwing out over 90% of our work, we finally
had something good. Something we would like to share with RPG community.
By publishing our work, we don't mean any harm or challenge to any copyrights held by Games
Workshop, Cubicle 7, Edge Studios, or anyone else. Consider The Old World: Grim and Perilous
to be our tribute to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and roleplaying games in general. We hope
you have fun while reading this book and playing during your game sessions.
About this Product
This is an unofficial, free fan-made expansion for all of you who love Genesys and the world
of Warhammer Fantasy. It combines some of the best game mechanics of Warhammer Fantasy
Roleplay editions 1-4, while keeping the simplicity known from the basic Genesys rules. It
adds many new talents and skills, new career creation and specialization options, new rules for
magic, corruption and social status. The expansion is light in fluff, so you need to have original
Warhammer's rulebooks and adventures to be able to fully explore the fantastic world of
Warhammer Fantasy. However, feel free to use this supplement to create your own heroic dark
fantasy setting as it adds plenty of new talents, weapons, gear and many other things which may
improve your 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) and
a group of friends, but the expansion relies heavily on Realms of Terrinoth in terms of weapons,
gear, some talents and crafting rules. It also uses (but to a lesser extent) the Expanded Player's
Guide, especially for specialization trees, magic talents and new magic spells, so we advise to
have these two books as well. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, we do not provide the game
setting and adventures other than "The Circle", so Warhammer Fantasy rulebooks (preferably
the 4th edition, which are now easy to get) are necessary to use this suplement to play in Warhammer
Fantasy setting.
