The aim of this page is to point out some interesting non-project
sources for WFRP Bretonnia.This list is of course far from
exhaustive.

moon".

and Giscard the pig.

Restless Dead

Who is your own favorite ?
Most of them share a common trait, don't you think ?
The old series of Warhammer novels (maybe to be
reprinted soon ?) featured a few stories set in Bretonnia :
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- "The gardener of Parravon" by B. Craig from
the Ignorant Armies Anthology.
- The beginning of "The voyage south" by N.
Griffith from the Red Thirst Anthology takes place in Bretonnia.
Internet sources :
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kidnapped!" by A. Nuñez
Type : Scenario
Availability : Scarce. This scenario may proove quite difficult
to track down. The author requested it should be taken off
Internet sites after submitting it to Hogshead. It may appear in
Hogshead material in the future.
- A well-written scenario set in Marienburg. Includes some
interesting Bretonnian NPCs.
"Southlands document" by G. Lepper
Type : description + NPCs
Availability : No problem. go to http://home.earthlink.net/~glepper/
Some of the featured NPCs are very good, in particular the two
Bretonnian ones.
"The streets of Bordeleaux" by L.J.A Carswell
Type : Complete Scenario
Availability : the wfrp adventure collection www.wfrp.de
This is a nice city adventure that takes place in Bordeleaux.
"Anarchy in Bretonnia" by O. Cooper
Type : Complete Scenario
Availability : No problem. go to www.warhammer.net
An action oriented rioting scenario set in Guisoreux.
"To lose in Toulouse" Author unknown
Type : PCs + Scenario outline
Availability : No problem. go to www.warhammer.net
- The focus is on the provided Player Characters rather than on
the scenario itself. The latter is not set in the Old World but
does have a genuine Warhammer feel to it. With a little work it
could be turned into a good Bretonnian scenario. A sequel "is
chaos to lose ?" is hinted at, however I've personally never
come across it.
Other sources :
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Rob Roy" (1995) directed by Michael Caton-Jones
Cast includes : Liam Neeson
Type : Film
Availability : No problem.
In the highlands of Scotland in the 1700s... Could provide
inspiration for archaïc WFRP Bretonnia. Tim Roth's performance
as a noble bastard makes it well worth seeing (though I wouldn't
say the film in itself is brilliant).
Paintings :

LA TOUR (Georges de),
French painter (Vic-sur-Seille 1593 - Lunéville 1652)
