This video is the complete works of Dr. Steffan Hoffman, detailing his travels from his first adventure all the way up to the very end, where he faces the allure of Chaos and destiny reveals itself to him. This series was a total delight to make! Basing our explorer in the world of Warhammer Fantasy was the perfect setting to explore the many creatures that inhabit this world while at the same time giving ourselves a bit of creative freedom to come up with some narratives to add up to the overall story. Adam R., with his voice and narration, gave life to Dr. Hoffman throughout the series while Skrubasauras and others contributed with quotes and character interactions to make for a rich and varied cast of characters. We hope you enjoy this journey and we look forward to seeing your comments and/or any constructive feedback. We plan to return to the Old World through the eyes of Dr. Steffan Hoffman next year with a few more stories and adventures. Chapters have been added with their own timings so you can look for the sections that call your attention throughout the video. Enjoy my friends!!

Loved the series, i am planning a Roleplay campaign for some friends and i will use Dr. Steffan Hoffman as a mission npc, probably as to have escort missions with him.

Once again, The Book of Choyer delivers BBC-like quality documentaries about the Warhammer Fantasy world without equal!

[@martintieber7756]

BBC-Like is not the compliment it used to be. These videos are far more lore/hostorically accurate than anything the woke BBC has released in years.

[@lo-rez]

​@martintieber7756 come on, you know what they meant. 😆 Amazing effort and quality put into these videos, almost makes it seem like a real universe.

[@jackskelington7377]

An entire collection about Steffan Hoffman the luckiest man to survive the Chaos Wastes

[@inductivegrunt94]

2 hours and 45 minutes of the greatest doctor in all of Warhammer World! Doctor Stephen Hoffman! He who traveled the whole of the world, and ventured into the Chaos Wastes, stared down the temptations of the Dark Gods, and survived. Love the work you guys did here and the incredible story you created thanks to it. Thank you for this. Thank you.

[@fantasybound3001]

Damn, that intro had me in tears with that music - such a FUN adventure! Thank you team, for allowing this silly man from Albion to be the voice of Steffan Hoffman! Now..time to finish recording Malus Darkblade - its been a while...

[@Zalmoxis0621]

I appreciated all the lore stuff, but was pleasantly surprised to find how much Dr. Hoffman grew on me as a character. Great writing and voice acting. I hope more informative and immersive content like this comes out, although I imagine it takes a lot of work to do it this well.

[@Panchito2696]

Thank you for these! I was planning on building a playlist to binge watch this series after catching a couple of Dr. Hoffman's adventures, including the thrilling journey to the chaos wastes! Now i can finally enjoy in its fullest

[@TheBookofChoyer]

That was the intention, glad it works for you and hopefully this video will make the viewing experience easier for others too! Thank you for watching my friend!😃🙌

This started randomly playing and it's possibly some of the coolest Warhammer lore presentation I've heard in a long time...

[@montynelson5033]

this is without a doubt the best lore video i have ever watched. not just for warhammer, but for any youtube video. the writing and story for this is incredible whilst being informative.

I never ever comment…. BUT WOW IS THIS AMAZING! THE EFFORT CARE AND LOVE YOU GUYS PUT IN!!! Thank you!

[@marcusbergman6116]

I hope for more of Hoffman. More lore videos, or perhaps a mod that adds him in TWW3 as a hero character that's not good on the battlefield but just as flavor and fluff. He grew as a character the more you listen.

[@therefinedhellion5041]

1. That shit with the dwarf at the end was the most adorable shit ever and shows why people LOVE Fantasy Dwarves despite (or, depending on who you ask in addition to) being petty motherfuckers for life And 2. This is why I prefer Fantasy over 40K. Fantasy understands what grimdark is better than the franchise that was meant to expand on grimdark. While, yeah, both definitely are grimdark, they're grimdark for different reasons; 40K is grimdark because of (insert reason why characters haven't fixed the way shit is in over 30,000 years since Earth was colonized and/or do what to any sane person in the 21st century understands is a stupid thing that makes a desperate situation even more desperate (looking at you Magnus, you did so many things wrong)) and for the most part, while it definitely is fun and the stories can be fun, too, when ingested by themselves, it's kinda like Family Guy clips: you realize that despite all the shit that makes all this entertaining, any attempts to fit story into the overall picture is rendered null by EVERYONE being an unlikeable asshole. Over in Fantasy though, genuinely good people don't just exist, but excel at what they do and the civilizations that aren't territorial or war-like factions are genuinely trying to just get by while not subjugating their population to ridiculous rules for contrived reason #588000000000001 and actually wanting to see their people genuinely thrive. Hell, after he received a lore refresh, even more temperamental rulers like Settra, while fairly volatile, had their people's best interest in mind before nearly anything else, with the only priority for Settra beyond that being to assert that Settra was the greatest, and he wasn't an idiot (again, after his lore refresh) who, in 40K, would have shot people for so much as questioning his word, instead just not giving them many reasons to complain in the first place (basically Korea but actually effective enough to not be defeated by feeding their people a box of Pop Tarts)

Your content over GW, recent Bethesda content, Disney's Star Wars or Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them any day of the week.
