Besides the wargame aspect, it also proved to be one of the most atmospheric RPG systems ever published and my all time favorite. WFRP 1st edition would end up bringing a lot of clarity to Warhammer Fantasy as a whole. Even three editions by that point, the game was an interesting mix of Roleplaying elements and more contemporary wargaming mechanics.
At that time, it was simply known as Warhammer and much of the game's background, rules, and identity was still in flux. WFRP 1st edition was released while the mass combat game Warhammer Fantasy Battle was still in its early years. Published in 1986 by Games Workshop, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay invited players to explore "A grim world of perilous adventure." That doesn't even begin to describe the horror and bloodshed the system captures or the all too human adventurers that stands against certain destruction. While Dungeons & Dragons struggled with Satanic Panic driven controversy throughout the 80s, famous British wargaming property Warhammer took a very different approach.
