Nice to see this game getting more love.

I have the Core, but it didn't really do it for me. Too 5e, was hoping for more Spycraft-like.

This is the copy of the WFRP 4th edition rulebook that I used while writing the Enemy Within Director's Cut. I put a notarized statement to that effect in the front, vaguely intending to auction it for charity.

Would anyone bid on this?

I’ve been really enjoying my copy. It looks amazing, the quality of the writing is incredible (love the article by @malcolmcraig.bsky.social) and it SMELLS great (remember getting an annual on Christmas Day?)

Treat yourself and support independent magazines.
