In short, for $20,- you get 27 digital roleplay books, including the first edition of Warhammer Fantasy roleplay.
edit.
To clarify, these are the 2nd edition roleplay books, not the somewhat loathed FFG rebrand that uses gakloads of different special dice and tokens.

Thanks BrookM! Just for the sheer amount of lore this is... beautifull.

But no sign of The Warhammer Campaign - the one that featured Death on the Reik, Shadows Over Bogenhafen, and other much missed gems. *EDIT* Also known as The Enemy Within....

Yeah, I was wondering about that as well. I bought the FFG version at one of their end of year sales, but I'd love to have the original rather than the remake.

Yes it does. Bot in the 15$ mark. "Children of the Hornet Rat" and "Realm of the Ice Queen" if those are the ones you are refering.

Thanks guys!
I went in for $20. Cleared out a whole bunch of stuff off my Amazon wishlist. I've spent so many hours just reading the fluff from the few WHFRP books I already own that there was no way I could pass on such a wicked-good deal.
I've copied the PDF's to my computer, but I am more likely to read them on my iPad--but it is super slow. Which of the non-faction-specific supplements has the most background?

Another instant purchase here, I've only ever played a few very badly GMed session of the custom dice abomination that FFG put out rather than the earlier editions. I need to correct that.

I've bought a lot from Humble Bundle they have great Image Comics and Valiant offerings from time to time.
I've spend COUGH-COUGH on books like Tome of Corruption and I'm in for $20 more to have digital versions.
I've never played, but I love the fluff.
RIP Olde Worlde...

RIP? Not so much. WFRP 4e will be two games - one set in the Old World (although possibly with the timeline rolled back a bit?) and one in the Mortal Realms of the Age of Sigmar.

£15.67 for all that lore, not to mention a game. From the six and a half thousand downloads it seems to have been popular.

I don't know if GW has given it a shout-out in their general news/community sites but I bet once they do it might well get a huge boost in sales also- they tend to like things done on a Friday/endweek so might be that we see official news from them regarding this.

Outstanding for the most part. Sigmar's Heirs and the Tome of Salvation really cover the Empire in detail, for example. The Old World Bestiary is a bit thin, but has some great quotes from the "multiple perspectives" section. I love that the Skaven assassin's quote is always the best way to kill each creature.

The Beastiary is fantastic fluff. Each monster is covered with several in universe quotes and anecdotes from peasants, knights and everyone in between (as someone noted, the Skaven ones are very funny).
Stats and rules are tucked away in the back so you can use the fluff for any game system you'd like.
The Tome of Corruption is a worthy heir to the old Chaos books, with, yes, a d1000 table for mutations!
Like I said I have many of these sitting on the shelf and I'm still buying this.
