Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is a role-playing game set in the Warhammer Fantasy setting.
The role-playing game shares the same Germanic, doom-laden background as the Warhammer Fantasy Battle wargame, although the role-playing game branched off from the war game in the 1980s. However, a player of a modern version of Warhammer Fantasy Battles should be able to recognise the setting and the principal ideas, concepts and races. Statistics from the wargame can be easily converted to the role-playing game.
It was originally published by Games Workshop, then Flame and until recently by Hogshead. The title reverted back to Games Workshop in December 2002. A second edition is in the works as of 2004. It is being written by Green Ronin Publishing, and published by Black Library, Games Workshop's book publishing division.
Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play is more widely played outside the United States than in the US. Games Workshop has alternated between supporting WFRP, licensing it out to other companies, and ignoring it to concentrate on their miniatures-based games.
Its complex system of "careers" through which player characters may advance and gain skills and improve their game statistics, allowing a player character to start off as a rat-catcher and work his way up to become a merchant or a ship's captain.
