PEAZINE FOR WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLEPLAY Sr : Mux st oe ng 9 mn 771465 Kee0016" |EDITORIAL By John Foody After our promised break in service we return once more, ready to take on the world. The Old World anyway. We haven't been idle however, sailing around the world on money embezzled from ‘Warpstone Incorporated. We were hard at work getting Corrupting Influence: The Best of Warpstone finished. We are very pleased with the results and the feedback we have received suggests that you are too, We hope it will help attract some new readers to Warpstone, and maybe even WERP. We have had @ number of comments recently calling for more background. So, alongside our continuing Talabheim series, we bring comprehensive coverage on the Sea of Claws.

Although I usually review all new WFRP products for Warpstone, | have refrained from doing so here. Our reviews have to be, and be seen to be, completely fair. Thus we asked someone independent to do this one, The same will go for all other products where we have had some input, With the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies doing big business, it seems fantasy is everywhere at the moment. Games Workshop have had huge success with their Lord of the Rings game. However, so far it seems as if RPGs are gaining little from this raising of the genre’s profile.
