Warhammer Day gave us a look at many things, including what lies in store for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay’s epic new take on the Enemy Within.

The Enemy Within is widely regarded as one of the best campaigns out there–especially for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. With Chaos rising at an appointed time and place, Enemy Within tackles horror and mystery, combined with a grand tour of life in the Empire. And if you’ve been following the news, you know that Cubicle 7 is releasing a 10 volume set that collects the “Director’s Cut” version of this campaign, updated by the original authors. At Warhammer Day this last weekend, we got a sneak peek at volume 2.

But we also got a look at Enemy in Shadows, a companion splatbook that has all the things that make WFRP amazing in it–that is to say the small parts of the world. Things like trading posts and semaphores. Check them both out below!

Death on the Reik Volume 2

Death on the Reik Includes:

  • The next two adventures of the Enemy Within campaign: Death on the
    Reik, and The Wittgenstein Horror, both of which are revised and updated by Graeme Davis, legendary WFRP author, and one of the
    original writers of the campaign.
  • A selection of ‘Grognard Boxes’ that add entirely new ways to play through the adventures, ensuring even those who have played the Enemy
    Within
    campaign before will find Death on the Reik fresh and new.
  • A complete guide to ‘River Life of the Empire’, detailing everything
    required to take your games of WFRP to the dangerous rivers of the
    Empire.

The Enemy Within is the campaign all roleplayers should play at least once in their lives, making Death on the Reik an essential purchase for all gamers.
