I would really love to see more of this! I know it takes lots of time writing all this but it would be lovely if these videos will be even longer than this introduction. It's very nice to listen to this while painting :)

Great narration and coverage. ~20min for what could easily run 20 hours. I always love seeing some of those older WF artworks too. Particularly anything Geoff Taylor, Mark Gibbons, Wayne England or Adrian Smith. It's good to show The Old World has so much more going on than just a latest edition or a particular style.

Oh dear lord your voice is GLORIOUS for this!!! Stu, you could seriously do audio books, not even kidding.

[JackFright]

This was really good, Stu. Thanks for doing it! Looking forward to the next video, as always.

Awesomeness Maximum Stu. You’re turning into one of the best Old World channels.

[guilhem]

Great storytelling ! I'm really enjoying your narration ! Thanks for sharing :)

Fantastic video, looking forward to the future faction focused content.

[andrewclarke]

Really enjoyed that Stu, will have to watch a couple of times to help get me up to speed, as the last edition i bought before TOW was 5th. I’d forgotten how much fun the lore and background side of the game is.

[earnestwanderer]

Excellent. Half an hour is a good length I think.

[Sandrip]

I enjoyed this! Deep dives into specific regions would be interesting as well.

WHFB lore was just great grimdark but not devoid of a certain humor (dark as well). Grounded yet capable of well narrated (mostly) forays into the realm of high fantasy. In other words, I fully endorse this video!

Played Warhammer Fantasy Role Play in 89 and have loved the setting ever since. And yet decades later I am surprised by how the lore has grown.

The End Times and what came after I just ignore because that’s where the lore absolutely falls apart. I mean the End Times Books were bad and the times after that is not Fantasy in my mind.

But now the Old World is back and may it bring in a new generation of gamers who I hope will love the lore as much as I did when I was a teenager flipping through the first edition WHFRP that I will never forget.

Cool lore video. It will be interesting to see what is done with the Empire arcane journal particularly with reference to the civil war. I wonder if they make any allowance for kits or transfers that let you set the factions apart since the usual empire troop boxes wouldn’t visually set them apart unless you paint them to show their allegiance.
Possibly Empire might get some new character models to represent particular factions.

Great stuff m8...just needs to be an hour longer 😂.
Was going to hav an afternoon on valheim but warhammer 3 is now calling me😊

[stevebull]

This is brilliant. Does anybody have any info on Osterland? It seems like it was plucked out of thin air 🤷🏼‍♂️

[jacawandersmok]

[regalgiant]

They won't do Kislev due to the war in Ukraine I heard.
