Reboot
Its a warm spring day in the town of Nuln. It is finally time for Heinrich Klemperbad to train his apprentice in the art of wizardry. There is just one catch: to learn these spells insert player name here needs to return with the physical components necessary for casting them. An old friend of Heinrich's family, insert dwarfs name here, is willing to help, and a few gold crowns can probably scrape up another willing companion or two.
What are the physical components? Why the head and upper torso of a giant, humanoid creature of course; no less than 10 feet tall.
Ideas and Themes
This campaign is conceived with a literary bent. There will be flashbacks, moral dilemmas, tragedy, difficult choices and the opportunity to right age old wrongs. Players will need to be flexible with what their characters do and want. Hopefully everyone will have a chance to grow.
Even though this game was played 1.5 times before, both versions were very different and it is not required that the new iteration match up with either. In fact, the players may throw out the quest opportunity when it presents itself and do something else.
System
To continue the current trend, we can use the same system as we currently do, with a few minor alterations. Since this game will be taking place in The Warhammer World, I have made a bunch of new skills. There will probably be a few actual mechanical changes as well, and those will be noted here.

Equipment-Tiger Eye
Magic-Tiger Eye
Combat
Smaller weapons are less deadly than larger ones. To represent this, weapons deemed small (daggers, sling stones etc) will have their strength damage add limited to no greater than the damage the weapon itself does. Damage adds go directly to the weapon damage.
Example: A rogue with Strength 3d6 attacks a foe with a dagger (damage 1d6). First he rolls the weapon damage and gets a 5. He rolls his strength and gets 6, 3 and 1. There is no need for the 6 to explode, for it cannot account for more than 5 damage.

Character Generation
Each character shall draw 14 cards. All 2's and Jokers must be used. The cards should be separated into three stacks. One containing 10 cards, and 2 containing 2 each. The 10 cards are arranged how the player likes among their characteristics. Each one will generate a score for that characteristic. Of the two remaining stacks, one is discarded while the final one is for skills on table 1. Use table one to generate the die types and add those numbers, this will be starting skill points. Starting skills will be limited to 3 in each.
