Lustria, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Sourcebook | My Review

[@rickpriestley4569]

Fantastic stuff! Nice to know that some of the very first things that Richard Halliwell (Hal) did for Warhammer have survived alll these years - although I heard nothing of Tony Ackland and my terrible Slann name puns... shame... Cheers Rick (aka Gynzmytipol) ;)

[@nathanbuxton3271]

Thank you for your massive contribution to my hobby Rick, hope you know how appreciated you are. (Also great pun)

[@jordansorcery]

I think we can safely say you and Hal built this stuff to last! I’ll be making sure to talk Tony and the many outslannding puns - there’ll be plenty of that in my video on the history of Lustria in the near(ish) future!

[@ClaytonPajot]

I thought it was a good overview of what is generally in the book, which is what I look for in these types of videos. I'm specifically interested in WFRP stuff, as I am prepping to play with a local group in the next few months, and enjoy hearing others experience with the books. I really enjoyed your interviews of the C7 guys as well!

[@LaBibliotecaEterna]

As a mexican and dino fan "Lustria" has always been appealing to my, after seeing your review I will be buying the book for sure.

[@RagsYooTube]

Jordan you're a proper gentleman. Fellowship at least 70+

[@TheShauntrainor]

Great video, Jordan. I liked the 'vibes over rules' approach. As someone who doesn't play WFRP, but has had Undead since 4th Ed, I'd be interested in buying it just for the Vampire Coast background. I always thought that was a cool part of the lore, even though I'm sure it was just originally tossed in to fill out that two page timeline they put in the Armies book

[@TheGoodMood]

I found this review super helpful! I'm not a player - I'm just a fan of Lizardman/Slann and was thinking of getting this book for the lore and vibes. Your review was accessible from this perspective!

[@jordansorcery]

Glad to hear it was helpful!

[@yousufkazmi7842]

Martha :) Giving your 1st impressions is a great starting point, then ideally follow up (at an unspecified time later) with how it actually played out, etc.

[@Jackalblade9]

I'm always happy to see the world of WFRP expanded and fleshed out. Great review and thank you, Jordan!

[@mellowshade]

Because of this review my BF has made me buy it and now wants all future special editions.

[@RedDiceDiaries]

Very much enjoyed the overview, would love to see more reviews like this 😃

[@BillPaine]

Very helpful review - thank you! I’m looking forward to Marienburg as well! I already have Sea of Claws and Salzenmund and my players have travelled by ship - so Lustria could be in their future!

[@JimCarr]

Good video, made great by the cameo from Martha!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Really interesting overview, and the book looks lovely.

[@andrewjamieson7178]

Yes, very helpful. Wasn't certain this book was for me but I will certainly consider it now.

[@sunsin1592]

This sold me on this product for sure

[@nivaexplorer]

Great review!, answering your question, more review of other background/setting books, like Altdorf, Salzburg, etc.. would be nice , I really love the lore of Warhammer!

[@AndyGoodacre]

Loved the format of your review. Spot on!

[@JamesHodden-rk6ks]

There are other channels who do videos on rules and mechanics, and I do find them incredibly useful, but, unless that's something that particularly excites you, then stick to the vibes. How an rpg feels, what it's about is more likely to sell me on a game than a discussion about how it does that.

[@kitsuneraccoon6777]

Funny thing we just finished our campaign in Lustria :"D But now there is a book, that's cool o/

[@wesc6755]

Cubicle 7 has been doing great work with their license, imo.

[@PeterJensen-p2l]

I thought the Lizardmen managed to kick out the Skaven from Lustria. But they keep sneaking back. I would love to see some books on Bretonnia, Kislev, Estalia and Tilea. Realm of the Ice Queen was one of the best books from WFRP second edition.

[@Tulkash01]

Well done! You made me interested into 4th Ed and I am more of a 1st or 2nd Ed kind of Gm.

[@tinyelvenmitten1774]

Thank you for your great review ! I gotta say though, I'M DYING TO SEE ULTHUAN, ATHEL LOREN AND NAGGAROTH COVERED LIKE THIS ;;0;; I wear on my tiny elven mittens i'll buy them all xD

[@jonasmoody5750]

Really interested lately in the revisions of WHFRP; this was a well-timed video.

[@konatelassina5301]

just keep doing this, this is great

[@guidokreeuseler9566]

Lustria appeared to be at a time considered to become the centre of the Warhammer setting during WFB 1st and 2nd edition. Yes, Lustria could have been what the Old World became ;) If you look into the Citadel Journals/compendiums of that period (84-86?), maybe on Stuff of Legends, you see most early GW published scenario's for Warhammer being set in Lustria, and Lustria being announced as early as '84 as the first upcoming Warhammer supplement alongside Rogue Trader and Realm of Chaos.

[@stevenkennedy4130]

Thanks for the share!!

[@abyssbun444]

I want to play as a Skink! This book is a plus in my eyes

[@drfishynooooo881]

Good overview. Would be great to hear your thoughts once you've played it. Planning to get the Orc & Goblin, Tribes & Tribulations WFRP supplement?

[@jordansorcery]

Most definitely!

[@josephwiley5880]

Great review!

[@spyroslapatas3013]

We want ii all Jordi!!

[@goransekulic3671]

I am lukewarm about actually opening my CE Teal(Turquoise?) book. Oh well, .pdf it is!

[@ITCamefromthePage]

Hahaha Martha is really out and about in this one. I think she's excited to try out the campaign.

[@ITCamefromthePage]

This was great and very useful!

[@alecmulinder5759]

Have you ever asked an ex-GW employee from the 1980s why they got rid of the Slann as an army list? Great vid as ever btw!!

[@joerama]

“SHOT THIS BIT THROUGH THE LUSTRIAN HAZE” 😂 (@10m30s)

[@angelicdespot2735]

More like this please!

[@bobmylan9434]

Very interesting video, thanks a lot, i just discovered your chanel :)

[@torinmccabe]

It is very cliche but I would be interested in a "top five" most interesting lore/ adventure hooks from the book. I feel the same way about many of your interviews: where I would like a summary of the best bits before I commit to watching a hour plus interview

[@HighlandCowboy01]

As a fan of the Lustria setting, is this book worth getting for the lore alone even if I don't play WFRP?

[@constantinekorkousky3363]

Is Marcus wulfhart in this book?

[@hobobeard]

While I enjoyed this I would have liked to know some about the specific things in it. Y’know, some notable monsters, character options etc. Actually, what I’d most like is some coverage of the main game itself. I don’t know much about it so it’d be helpful for me personally but if O could also point other people to a video and say to ‘em “here. Check this out. Doesn’t it sound exciting” that’d r REALLY useful.

[@DamBrooks]

Thank you Jordan, I didn’t get the Lustria book because I saw one with an Orc on the cover so I bought that instead. What is this game about exactly?

[@Surrogate_Gaia]

Was there a difference in the first digital release and the collector's edition? I heard they rewrote some stuff since launch

[@LordVader1094]

I'm also curious about that

[@MarcSkelton-r7v]

Please include "The Floating Gardens of Bahb-Elonn". In your next video. It was great when WD actually produced adventures and scenarios for the game.

[@jacawandersmok9043]

That book look nice

[@PaintsAreOp]

Are Amazons there?

[@RedDiceDiaries]

Yep, they're in there 👍

[@PaintsAreOp]

@@RedDiceDiaries nice! I have an Amazon warband for Mordheim (Lustria Campaign) and I would love to have more lore and background for them

[@RedDiceDiaries]

@@PaintsAreOp : I've only had a skim through my copy so I'm not sure how extensive the Amazon lot is in the book but I definitely recall seeing some stuff about them 👍

[@darrengamer8189]

Great review. I want the overview of a product rather than too much detail. I always think reviews that actually quote rules and show all the stat blocks are unfair to the publishers as really you should be paying for the book to get that.

[@christopherdoherty675]

Vibes

[@Marcicity]

No Dark Elves?

[@johnclarke25]

Bring back krelmo the slann,the magnificent sven and the norse and amazon's,still might get them all painted one day.

[@mjhsinclair]

I’d love to know how much you think this will be enjoyable for someone interested in the world building and/or Old World but not playing WFRP.

[@jordansorcery]

So you’ll have to take my opinion with a grain of salt as A, I got this for free, and B, I absolutely love reading RPG sourcebooks even if I never plan to use them, the form just appeals to me. That said, I think the book is a great read! Lots of really interesting lore and detail, very worthwhile for learning more about this version of Lustria and adding some nice world building for an under-represented portion of the map.

[@mjhsinclair]

​@@jordansorcery Awesome thank you - I was reading a friend's copy of the 1e book, enjoying Gotrek and Felix, and it made me wonder if some of the 4e books might be a fun read. Maybe there's a cheeky video at some point in "Top 5 WFRP books for people who just love Warhammer Fantasy / TOW"?

[@BarokaiRein]

Wait what? They included a skink race, but not saurus or even better: Kroxigor? I've homebrewed both as player options myself, but it's a bit disappointing to not see official versions of them. Don't get me wrong, I understand why Kroxigors specifically wouldn't be an option from game design pov, but I doubt WFR community cares about whether or not something is too strong. Like, this is a game where wizards and warrior priests are insanely powerful when compared to anyone else, so I doubt anyone would complain about Kroxigor having 20 more strength than the human knight.

[@nikoladedic6623]

I can always use more lore.

[@raincoast_bear]

And the pygmies? What of the pygmies?

[@tiny_kurgan]

Overall the book is a good addition to the 4th edition, but the lack of maps for places like the Citadel of Dawn and New Bechafen is a lost opportunity. I was also a little disappointed that Chaos influence in Skeggi was so heavy. Not every Norscan has to be a Chaos worshipper.
