Hello chaps,
I’m back from Ireland, and slowly picking up where I left off stripping and re-preparing my Warhammer army. In the mean time, I’ve joined a WFRP campaign being run by a friend of mine.
I was just wondering if anybody here played WFRP and could recommend any CD-related material? Google shows slim pickings.
cornixt:
Hashut’s Blessing has done a bit. There were a load of files that included stats for Bull Centaurs and such but I don’t remember where/who.
Grimstonefire:
Hi there. Been a while
If you can find Warpstone magazine issue 28 there is a section of fan written WHFRP stuff in there just about CD. About 5 pages and 20 more pages of (non WHFRP) story etc.
I did a review of this fluff in one of the Word of Hashut’s, but I don’t know which (edit #2 I have the article in word, should anyone be curious).

Willmark:
Wow someone from the sites founding month, and active at HoH from the sig, welcome back.
There is done info in the dwarfs supplement AFAICR at the tail end of 1st edition WFRP.
TheVoice:
I was much, much more active on HoH than I have been here - I stopped playing Warhammer with any regularity in 2008 and haven’t had much of an opportunity to pick it up since, as numerous planned-but-abandoned projects attest.
Hashut’s Blessing:
Howdy Voice - good to see you kicking around again! If you wanna use my stuff (which is actually because of our Stone dragon days on HoH), it’s in one of the Word of Hashut issues. Alternatively, get hold of Tome of Corruption - it actually has all the stuff in it, which broke my need to finish my work on the WFRP CDs. It’s for the 2nd edition - don’t know if that’s what you’re playing these days?
TheVoice:
You built on the stone dragon fluff? Amazing.
I don’t know, we’re playing the edition with different symbols on the dice rather than numbers, maybe Third Edition? Currently the GM is using what we might call “Voice-verse” CD fluff, but it’s always a little annoying knowing everything that’s coming so I’m trying to find an alternative source.
So… Tome of Corruption for official stuff, and Word of Hashut for yours.
Did you include the odd Hashutite human like Vlathek and Vradraur? I wrote them into my own fluff, curious as to how you got them in if you did.
Hashut’s Blessing:
Hahaha, the characters I created for it lived on into my armies, yes
But I never got around to writing them into the WH universe, let alone the WHFRP one
Maybe I’ll have to change that.
Yeah, that’s third edition. A bit unconventional, but the current (I mean 2nd edition) stuff can be converted - it’s just a bit tricky and peculiar as they work relatively differently (and yet quite similarly). But yeah, Tome of Corruption is where it’s at (nice source of fluff too), but it’s VERY pricey (going through legal channels, which I obviously recommend…). Word of Hashut was going to see a series of articles for it, but then I found ToC had done all that work for me, lol. But has some ideas in it at least.
Maybe it’d be better for them to build their own clan of Chaos Dwarfs into it somewhere to break away from you having so much meta-knowledge?
They’re kicking around as Warriors of Chaos characters these days, but never really made specific models for them - more the idea of them lived on, lol.
EDIT: P.S. Here is a download link for the original character generation file.
TheVoice:
Well in mine, Vlathek and Vradraur are captains of marauder slaving vessels which have Letters of Marque from one of my clans. One of the ways the dwarves measure the economic activity of the CDs is the volume of slaving undertaken by these reavers across Norsca, Kislev, Albion and the Empire.
Hashut’s Blessing:
Sounds like a good use to me
Nice you kept them around too 
TheVoice:
Well, I did write an awful lot of custom CD fluff, no sense in not using it. Makes WFRP more interesting anyway.
Hashut’s Blessing:
I like it when people include fluff from previous campaigns though
Adds a real personal touch to it all.
TheVoice:
Indeed. Speaking of which, do you reckon that Cygor, minotaurs and other clearly bull-based beastmen would have the potential to be treated as special by CDs? I ask because my character might have the opportunity to pick up a minotaur calf from a shady businessman.

TheVoice
Why not.
The tricky question though is... would the Beastmen treat the CD any special? Ie not trying to beat face as soon as they could.
TheVoice:
If it was raised by CDs from birth, I don’t see why not.
snowblizz:
“beastman” is an inherent thing, not a function of upbringing. Ie it is by its very nature a creature of Chaos. That is why the Gods don’t have bribe them like the humans. A Beastman is wholly and unequivocally a creature of Chaos, and anathema to order. Chaos Dwarfs would want to build, the Beastman would want to tear down. That’s were the clash of viewpoint will be most difficult to mediate.
TheVoice:
Well, the beastmen get metal weapons and things somehow. I can easily handwave them into having a touch more depth and complexity in the roleplay setting, I do hate the “it is just evil/chaos” line to be applied to much other than daemons.

TheVoice
Ha! Don't get me started on that one! Apparently Beastmen don't craft stuff but only steal it. Yet someone somewhere is making bespoke greatweapons for Bestigor...
The muppet hacks who butchered the Beastmen book have a lot to answer for.
