FOREWORD
•
A Rough Night at the Three Feathers
was an adventure for
WFRP
1
st
edition, published in issue 94 of Games Workshop’s
White Dwarf
magazine in November 1987. I wrote it largely as an experiment, to
see whether multi-plot adventures could even work in a roleplaying
game. It had never been done in roleplaying games before, but
there were strong precedents in other media. On the stage,
colliding plots have been a vital element of farces since Roman
times, and I wanted to capture their manic action in a roleplaying
game. I also wanted to ensure that the adventurers did not have
the place all to themselves as soon as everyone went to bed. Caper
comedies of the 60s and 70s were another source of inspiration,
facing their protagonists with all manner of unexpected problems
that challenge more than just their Rogue Skills.
Today,
WFRP
fans count
A Rough Night at the Three Feathers
among the game’s best adventures. It was reprinted in two
WFRP
1
st
edition compilations:
The Restless Dead,
published
by Games Workshop in 1989; and
Apocrypha Now,
published
by Hogshead Publishing in 1995. In 2005 — eighteen years after
it first appeared — it was adapted for
WFRP
2
nd
edition in the
Black Industries collection,
Plundered Vaults.
In the years that followed, I wrote two more adventures in the
same style.
Nastassia’s Wedding
was first written in the days of
WFRP
1
st
edition. I couldn’t resist continuing the plot of Gravin
Maria-Ulrike von Liebwitz of Ambosstein and her feud with the
von Dammenblatz family of Wissenburg from the first adventure.
When I wrote
The Edge of Night
for
WFRP
3
rd
edition, I included
a chapter set in a swanky Ubersreik mansion, where more nobles
got into a lot of different types of trouble.
For
Rough Nights & Hard Days,
I have updated and expanded
these three adventures for the new edition of
WFRP,
and added
two new chapters: one set in the law-courts of a large town,
and the other in a glittering opera house in one of the Empire’s
great cities. The story of Gravin Maria-Ulrike and House
Dammenblatz forms the main thread of the mini-campaign, but
as in the original scenario, the adventurers’ lives are complicated
by the fact that there is much more going on in each of these
bustling locations than they initially realise.
