Clan's Cynic Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Part of me wonders if the removal might've been at GW's behest in order to 'future proof' against whatever the totally AoSified equivalent the Freeguild being replaced by in the future. Just a stab in the dark. Edited April 24, 2020 by Clan's Cynic 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravinsild Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 As long as I can play what amounts to the Dwarf Slayer in Vermintide 2 I'm good It's looking like that'll be the Doomseeker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyZebra Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I'm very excited for the RPG launch! I plan on DMing. I think my players want to run an all Knight Questor group since they love the Knight Questor in WHQ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said that the Great Parch Cities of Sigmar (so it does includes Brightspear) use Aqua Gyhranis as a currency because water is so scarce a resource there (water imported through the Stormsrift Realmgate i.e. the one in Hammerhal). We also know common jewels and metals are almost worthless in Chamon, where one deals mainly in know-how and realmstones, that meat from Ghur are worth A LOT in Shyish, and that the sigmarite City of Excelsis in Ghur has built its economy on prophetic shards of stones mined from the Spear of Mallus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Yup, I know. I think it’s great that they went with that idea. It makes sense, is distinctive and in itself offers many adventure hooks. The whole logistics question alone is interesting. And as you mentioned - it leads to ideas for fantastic currencies in other realms.

Hi Emmetation, Thank for reply. So I understand that work is already in progress at least for some language. That's a good news! Yes please, let us know as soon as you got, even a not really accurate, idea about what could be release date for translated version! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmetation Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 I got to chat to the folks at Beasts of War/On Tabletop about the Starter Set for Soulbound, which will be available in the coming months. Link 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinthMusketeer Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Do note that Aqua Ghyranis is far from ordinary water. For example, in Warcry "Flask of Aqua Ghyranis" is the strongest health restoration item in the game. As the name indicates it comes from the Realm of Life, and not just any random water from there either. It acts as a health potion, which gives it intrinsic value enough to make sense as a currency in a setting as diverse in AoS. Any simple material is liable to become extremely valuable or near-valueless based on where one is, but no matter where one is there are most assuredly things that can kill you. Being able to literally trade wealth for health would be appealing to almost anyone. Mechanically it also provides a built-in 'spend currency to heal' mechanic that makes sense in-universe and does not depend on a certain class, type of magic, or location to work. This largely eliminates the potential issue many RPGs run into where the group needs a healer to function properly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it also encourages a streak of amoral Randian individualism in parties, "why should I heal you, you've got money haven't you? You were saving up for a new axe? Not my problem mate" Edited April 30, 2020 by Jefferson Skarsnik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorticulusTGA Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 @Emmetation so soon we will be able to purchase the Core Rule pdf, right ? Will there be a physical copy of the book soonish after ? For the Starter Set, is it only physical or will there be a pdf for its book too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was re-reading the WHQ Shadow Over Hammerhal booklet about the Aqshian part of the city and that made me want to learn more about Brightspear with the guide we'll get in the Starter Set. But I guess the Core book already contains some infos about the city. Also, I hope the Firestorm Campaign Set and Warhammer Quest : Shadow over Hammerhal from AOS 1st ed. are two inspirations for the RPG, because they were great reads. Will we be able to purchase the Great Parch map in physical form (like your Reikland one) ? Or another map on this style ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
