Warhammer Fantasy RPG: The Imperial Zoo

Frau Vera Warnicke - It is with great pleasure that I write to inform you that I have finally received funding for the expeditions we recently discussed. Indeed, I expect that our patron will extend his generosity to pay for not one, but three trips to the wild places of the Empire and beyond in search of knowledge. I trust that those of whom you spoke are available and as competent as you promised. I don't mean just a trip into the interior to get back in time for dinner at the University. These will be real explorations of the deepest depths out there, because only the most impressive specimens can excite those jaded academics at the Imperial Zoo.

The Imperial Zoo is a bestiary and travelogue of three daring expeditions in the Old World, from the heights of Karak Kadrin to the city of Miragliano in the southern country of Tilea. It includes profiles of more than 60 unique creatures, beasts and monsters of the Old World, perfect for challenging even the most skilled adventurers. Also included are six new, pre-generated characters, each with their own skills, talents and dark past, perfect for picking up and diving into a campaign focused on the truly gigantic threats gripping the Old World. 

The Imperial Zoo includes:
- An exciting story that follows the exploits of a group of adventurers as they make their way through the Old World in search of knowledge and less tasty delights.
- Dozens of creatures, including beasts with unique names that pose a threat to anyone who crosses their path, from the unusual but deadly Preyton to the devastating dragon Caledir, the Fireseis.
- New creature features to ensure each group finds a challenge in these pages.
- Rules for storing and selling alchemical ingredients harvested from creatures, especially those touched by the winds of magic.
- A quick reference table of creature characteristics to keep gameplay fluid during battles.
- Six pre-generated characters, giving you everything you need to start your adventures right away.

The Imperial Zoo is a new blend of bestiary and story, packed with ideas and character commentary that illustrates how such horrors as Araknaroks, Chimeras and Cockatrice are seen by the inhabitants of the Old World. It is ideal for inserting into an ongoing campaign that could use some new encounters, or as a starting point for a group looking to tackle the horrific beasts of the Old World for profit.
