Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Archives of the Empire, Vol. 1
Just North of Altdorf, not far from the village of Frederheim, the cult of Shallya maintains a Hospice. Behind its imposing walls, troubled souls are given succour, and a lucky few find respite. Not so for one of its denizens, however, who is tireless in her mission to compile a record to outlive the world—her Archives of the Empire.
The End Times are coming, and her quill is ceaseless in a frantic race against time. Her letters find their way to every corner of the Empire. Each missive begs its recipient to reply with thoughts on some specific matter. She claims to be Princess Isabella von Holswig-Schleistein, sister to Emperor Karl-Franz I. Stranger still, some who reply seem to share in this delusion.
Welcome to Archives of the Empire: Volume I, a fascinating and diverse collection of articles on topics that cover the length and breath of the Old World. The first volume focuses on the other species—Dwarfs, Elves, and Halflings—whose presence enriches (or enrages) the world of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Volume I details new locations, careers, and NPCs perfect for inclusion in your next WFRP adventure.

Numenera: Vertices
A maze of steel and crystal blades summons demons and bladehounds from this world and worlds beyond. Seven huge boulders float a mile above the earth—legend says they guard against enemies among the stars, and indeed, cruel, stone-armored creatures do fall randomly from the sky in this area. A massive ribcage rises from the earth, a giant weathered skull resting nearby. Creatures in the area—from simple insects to terrifying abhumans—grow to monstrous proportions.
Explore eight detailed sites as adventures in their own right, or use their rich and intriguing settings for your own quests. Each contains a vertice to the datasphere, unlocking that strange realm and creating a teleportation network for quick—but always interesting!—travel across the Ninth World.

Profiteers
Players: 3–5 • Ages: 12+ • Play time: 30–45 min.
It is 1861, and the USA is wracked in Civil War. Great issues are at stake—slavery, states rights, the preservation of the Union—but as a British arms manufacturer, you don’t care! As a profiteer, your aim is to make as much money as possible by supplying the troops needed to fight the war with your factories and by speculating in the bonds issued by the Confederacy and the Union to finance their war effort.
Profiteers
Publisher: Stronghold Games
Item Code: SGPRF01
MSRP: $19.99
Releases July 28, 2021
Profiteers is a strategic speculation game. Players seek to accumulate gold and bonds (the value of which varies according to the progress of each side in the war). Players can choose to invest money in arms factories, which give them more bonds and greater influence over the outcomes; simply speculate; or buy up businesses such as coffin makers and hope for a bloody and prolonged conflict. Ultimately, the only thing that matters is the final amount of cash in hand when the war ends.
The game is fast paced and highly interactive as the ability to anticipate or influence other players’ strategies is crucial to victory. A long game (where the war is finely balanced and lasts the full seven turns) can take up to 45 minutes; shorter conflicts are finished in less than half an hour.
