Altdorf, Crown of the Empire is an extensive, comprehensive and well researched document providing those who run WFRP games with a powerful resource to use in their games. I really enjoy that not only do the authors include “modern” Warhammer elements but they blend these with people, plots and places from the Genevieve novels and other older lore. Add to this many new and interesting characters and idea, subplots and suggestions and it builds into a brilliant piece of writing and art. Artwork is strong throughout – with my favorites being the b/w character profiles but the cityscapes are also lovely. In terms of information, the city is cleanly presented with extensive sections on the city history and the complicated power structure within it – offering opportunities for higher level campaigns with the Great and the Good as much on the docklands with gang wars. Each city district is well explored and retains its own character and adventuring opportunities. I would highly recommend. One very minor quiblle is that Under-Altdorf is very different (and less interesting) than the Thanquol novel version but this will have little to no effect on most players or Gms.

An excellent additon to the core ruleset with some interesting elements to the game - in particular the Captain giving the ability to customise and characterise a non wizard character. we will def be trying this out in our games.
