Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Tribes and Tribulations explores the savage tribes and dangerous creatures that inhabit the remote regions of the Old World and beyond, providing Gamemasters with a detailed collection of enemies, warbands and characters to introduce into their adventures.
Orcs and Goblins have long been a threat to the civilised lands of the Old World. United by their shared ancestry, appetite for violence and the powerful spirit of the Waaagh!, these unpredictable creatures bring destruction wherever they gather. From bands of Forest Goblins lurking in dark woodlands to heavily armed Orc warbands terrorising settlements, their presence can turn even a routine journey into a dangerous encounter.
Tribes and Tribulations takes a closer look at the different tribes, their customs, motivations and methods of warfare. Covering Goblins, Orcs, Black Orcs, Hobgoblins and Snotlings, alongside Ogres and Trolls, this supplement gives each featured group its own identity, helping Gamemasters create more varied and memorable opponents.
The book introduces several distinctive tribes and groups, each with its own history, behaviour and approach to conflict.
The Cluster-Eye Tribe: A dangerous band of Forest Goblins known as the Terrors of the Drakwald, notorious for capturing unfortunate travellers.
The Broken Nose Tribe: Ruthless raiders responsible for breaking into several Dwarf Holds, with a particular fondness for stealing artillery.
The Black Mountain Boyz: A violent Orc warband skilled in robbery, intimidation and extortion.
The Stone Snakes: Savage Orcs locked in an ongoing struggle against the destructive activities of the Chaos Dwarfs.
The Wolfboyz of Oglah Khan: Hobgoblin scouts available for hire, although their reputation for betrayal makes them unreliable allies.
Matthogg's Payswords: A formidable company of Ogre mercenaries operating in the wilderness of Ostermark.
Each group offers different opportunities for encounters and adventures, allowing Gamemasters to introduce enemies with their own objectives, tactics and personalities rather than relying on ordinary Orc and Goblin opponents.
Beyond the individual tribes, Tribes and Tribulations explores other dangerous inhabitants of the Old World, together with the unusual powers and abilities that make them formidable adversaries.
The book includes:
Trolls in Various Forms: An examination of different types of Trolls, including their characteristics and behaviour.
Waaagh! Magic: An introduction to the shamanic traditions of Orc and Goblin spellcasters, including the magic they wield.
Orc and Goblin Nemeses: A collection of powerful enemies, infamous Warlords and dangerous monsters that can provide significant challenges for adventurers.
These additional sections give Gamemasters more options for creating encounters, developing recurring villains and introducing unexpected threats throughout their campaigns.
Orcs and Goblins are among the most recognisable enemies in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, but their differences in culture, leadership and fighting methods make them far more interesting than a simple collection of monsters.
Tribes and Tribulations provides the background and practical information needed to give these creatures individual personalities, believable motivations and distinctive strategies. Whether the characters are investigating raids on a remote settlement, travelling through Goblin-infested forests or confronting a powerful Orc leader, the material can be used to develop encounters that feel different from one another.
