The Enemy Within

A Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Campaign

The Enemy Within is probably one of the most well-known pre-written campaigns in the RPG space, I never managed to pick up a copy of the first edition version so—when Cubicle 7 announced they were going to do a “director’s cut” version for WFRP 4E—I eagerly purchased all of the main books along with their companion volumes.

At the start of 2024 I finally got the opportunity to start running this with my regular group, this page contains a collected list of links to our session write-ups and anything else I might publish that is connected with this campaign.

In addition to this campaign, I am also running a campaign using the WFRP 2E rules set in Ubersreik (the default setting from the WFRP 4E starter set), you can find the write-ups for that campaign by clicking here.

Our heroes

Our current group of heroes:

  • Doctor Gabriel Colby, master of the scalpel & owner of Arcadia Haus school of medicine in Middenheim.

  • Ernest Forde, a man with a shadowed past who has recently acquired a noble title, some say by nefarious means.

  • Oleg “Iron Hand” Longbarrel, a young dwarf who is a rising star in the Worshipful Guild of Engineers and Runesmiths in Middenheim.

  • Roland Harrowghast, Champion of the Graf and devotee of Ulric.

Gone but not forgotten:

  • Haedrin Veil, a human bounty hunter who joined the group for a time before leaving to seek bounties elsewhere.

Travelling the waterways of the Empire, our band of unlikely heroes continue to pursue the dangerous cult, posing as rivermen and funded by their new benefactor.

What begins as an attempt to confront an old foe in the village of Blutdorf and for Roland to visit his spiritual homeland, becomes a race to uncover the rot and corruption that festers at the heart of Middenheim.

Our heroes, freshly christened as the saviours of Middenheim, are employed by the Midden Marshals to pursue the escaped traitor Karl-Heinz Wasmeier and his strange allies.
