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?

    It kinda looks like they might be going into a more “power fantasy” angle than the rather more… “lowly” WHFRP take that is also still around and will, presumably, run in parallel to this. So you can play one if you want to be a Bretonnian knight and the other if you want to be a ratcatcher with a small, vicious dog.

    Cubicle 7 has tended not to go for massive book bloat, like other RPGs and the Warhammer wargames. So it should be more manageable.

    Love that early artwork - folks like John Blanche really captured the feel of the universe.
