Norse stuff. Check Norsca -page, there you can find new version (1.4) of the Norsca:Religion document. File may seem smaller in size, but actually that is just "new" .PDF format. Document itself is bigger, with stuff from the newest WFB books (Warriors of Chaos and Daemons of Chaos) and also some new stories. The biggest new change is grammary check, special thanks for that belong to Daniel Wray.

16th Erntezeit (8th month) 2009
Allright. No more rumours, no more speculation. The next version of Warhammer is here: 12/August/2009 - Fantasy Flight Games News

16th Vorgeheim (6th month) 2009
I moved WFRP History to new page, so it can be found more easily - Timeline: WFRP History. This is REAL life history.

14th Vorgeheim (6th month) 2009
I've just read the Hapimeses Forum and was reminded nicely that my site has lacked updates for sometime - Truth is that I've been little quiet, but I'm always working on something... Yes, the site is now over TWO years old?! Wow! I have been busy with other stuff, but WFRP is still on my mind. What else. Yes - tons of talk about revised WFRP2 or even WFRP3 going on in the various forums (mostly FFG). Who knows, but hopefully we do know soon something about the future of WFRP products. As for any updates - I've had some email exchange with Polish fan-base and do check this site: http://winter--spirit.blogspot.com/ You find there WFRP stuff AND my NULN map translated beatifully to Polish. Great job again WinterSpirit. Respect.

11th Pflugzeit (3rd month) 2009
Here be Dragons! And here they are. From the Bestiary Expansion -page you can find Tome of Dragons, a larger expansion about Dragons. Dragon sub-species, five different age-categories (with stats), new rules for Breath Weapons (including different variations of Breath Weapons), magic, magical-items, Undead Dragons...etc.

26th Jahrdrung (2nd month) 2009
Updated version of Nuln Map (version 1.65). I still had few updates and corrections.

22th Jahrdrung (2nd month) 2009
In the Maps -page you find a new version of Nuln Map (version 1.6). Alot of new stuff there, corrections and just cleaning the map. Also there you can find NEW version of the map, which features district coloring. Enjoy Nuln bigger than ever!

20th Jahrdrung (2nd month) 2009
In the Rule Expansions -page there is now new version of Warhammer Common Knowledge & Languages (version 1.1). New version features some new stuff, but also gives new optional rule idea with information about racial Provincial Expertises.

19th Jahrdrung (2nd month) 2009
There is now new page on the site: Maps. I have moved Norsca and Nuln maps there. Also I have added some stuff from the Shades of Empire to the Timelines. New material will be out very soon. AND I have also changed the chilling winter-look back to normal darker look. Even I don't advertise all kinds of news about WFRP here, but I have to mention this (now that I have played WAR very much). Warhammer Online is adding few new careers to the game. There already is Knight of the Blazing Sun (Empire, Order) and the Black Guard (Dark Elves, Destruction), but this spring we will have long waited Dwarfen Slayer (Dwarfs, Order) and for the Orcs Choppa (Orcs, Destruction).

30th Nachexen (1st month) 2009
Hello all! Its New Year and Hexenstag is well behind. Now that the "Transition Year" (2008) is over, new WFRP stuff is coming. Shades of Empire is out and The Career Compendium is coming soon also. Also FFG official site is presenting finalists/winners of WFRP Scenario Contest. Check them out. I have updated site little. I finally got WFB: The Empire (5th Edition) story about Gotrek & Felix. Huge thanks again to WFRP fan-base. But, new stuff is coming soon.

19th Vorhexen (12th month) 2008
Happy Christmas! Well, maybe not yet, but it is coming soon. New Norsca stuff is coming, but that will be next year. SO, to give you something - here is new versions of Norsca Map (v1.8) and Nuln Map (v1.5). Norsca map changes are mostly based on the WAR and new WFB: Warriors of Chaos. Nuln map changes are basicly only the scale. Special thanks to fans in the official forums. More details about the maps can be found from the .txt files.

10th Vorhexen (12th month) 2008
It's winter-time again. Also christmas and Hexenstag are lurking in the near future. As I updated Timeline: Gotrek & Felix little (just picked up Nathan Long's: Elfslayer), I also decided to give the site frosty look.

23rd Ulriczeit (11th month) 2008
New Fantasy Flight Games -site and also new WFRP official forums: FFG Warhammer

15th Ulriczeit (11th month) 2008
Elementalism is here again! Details about Elemental creatures (six variations, four sizes) can be found from the Bestiary and there Elementals. That document also has details about summoning magic (Ritual and Dwarf Runes). Summoning Dwarf Runes has been added to the Rune Magic Expansion page. Then if you want, or need, ideas or rules about Elementalism, check also Rules and there Elemental Magic document.

4th Ulriczeit (11th month) 2008
And the Timelines are back! There have been some updates on almost every Timeline. Especially in Norsca Timeline (my favorite). All updates are based on the information found from the new Warhammer Fantasy Battle books. Updates (based mostly WFB: Warriors of Chaos) are coming to all Norsca documents next.

30th Kaldezeit (10th month) 2008
TIMELINES ARE MISSING!!! Yes, I know. They will back. Updated...

AND then FINALLY new RPG stuff: Check out Bestiary. There is new Norse bestiary: Cave Bear, Firefox, Great White Wolves, mighty Jotuns, Mammoth, Norse NPC, and Sabertooth. Then few others, not related to Norsca: Skeleton, Watchers of Tzeentch (Daemon of Tzeentch).

24th Brauzeit (9th month) 2008
I have added new stuff (and edited) Trivia & Banners page and there WFRP History. Check it out.

28th Erntezeit (8th month) 2008
Changed little site. There is new page called Trivia & Banners. It has "other" information related to the site and Warhammer. I have collected small history about Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay there.

10th Nachgeheim (7th month) 2008
New NORSCA stuff finally ready! There is NEW document Norsca: The Tribes, which gives details about the seven main (High) Tribes in Norsca and gazetteer to their lands.

There is now totally blank Nuln Map also on my site (no streetnames, districts, sites...etc.).

3rd Vorgeheim (6th month) 2008
New version (1.4) of the Nuln Map is here! Most of the changes come from the great unofficial sourcebook Corrupting Influence - The Best of Warpstone Volume 1.

30th Sommerzeit (5th month) 2008
Allright. I have been busy for editing Nuln Map (it's coming soon - alot of editing), editing Norsca Map (coming also - bigger and better than ever!) and then there is other Norsca stuff also coming... What you can find on the site now, is some new stuff from the Norsca Timeline (and other Timelines also). Then I have edited little Carnivals & Festivals: Hexensnacht and Geheimnistag based to the information found from the Tome of Salvation.

24th Sommerzeit (5th month) 2008
HAPPY BIRTHDAY THIS SITE!!! Yippee-ki-yay, it really has been ONE YEAR since this site, Kalevala Hammer, was opened. Huh. Time goes by so fast. And how much changes there have been in Warhammer World also. WFB has 25th anniversary this year; Warhammer Online (WAR) is in Beta-state and "soon" hits the markets; Black Industries lost WFRP2 license and Fantasy Flight Games got it...etc. But I think it has been great year still. Alot of good stuff for WFRP has been published and especially fans have been very active. And I have found some time to do few articles, timelines and maps also, which hopefully have helped the fans. So, I'm going to celebrate this birthday with good dark Dwarfen Beer and probably take some imported Uisce from misty island of Albion with that beer. Cheers, everyone!

4th Sommerzeit (5th month) 2008
Few new entries in the timelines (mostly in the Timeline: Norsca). This information is based on The Citadel Journal issue 6 and Norsca article found from there. It has given many good ideas.

3rd Sommerzeit (5th month) 2008
Finally some updates! I found more info about Archaon's generals (The Four) and it seems that Melekh the Changer (and also his son) were actually Aeslings. So, I have changed them as Aeslings and Haargroth comes now from the Graeling tribe (let's give Champion to each of the Northern Tribes). And then there is also to more additions to the Bestiary: Flikkenes and Spissemuns. Strange smaller variations from the normal Troll. Part of Norsca Project. I always promise more documentation about Norsca, and I will promise also now - It's all under work. If I just had more time.

11th Sigmarzeit (4th month) 2008
And many new entries and changes to the Timelines based on the information found from the great sourcebook Liber Chaotica. It is risk for anyones sanity to read, but the amount of Chaos Knowledge. So much knowledge...

9th Sigmarzeit (4th month) 2008
Added entries detailing history about The Four, generals of Archaon, in the Norsca: Timeline. Also there is new Master Rune in the Rune Magic Expansion.

6th Sigmarzeit (4th month) 2008
Added few things on the Timeline: Norsca and also Timeline: 2500- (same things). These are based on the wonderful information about Beorg Bearstruck and the Bearmen of Urslo that can be found from Dogs of War -sourcebook for the Warhammer Fantasy Battle.

3rd Sigmarzeit (4th month) 2008
And more Rune Magic. Couple of corrections and adjustments there (this includes optional rule for Gotrek's Axe), but also few new rune items including flaming and mighty KALEVALA HAMMER.

28th Pflugzeit (3rd month) 2008
I have added some new entries to the timelines (2400-2499 and 2500-), with new sources. Also I have edited little Rune Magic Expansion. And finally there are some new Warhammer Links. If you know any link that might be missing - Just post it to my email. 

20th Pflugzeit (3rd month) 2008
Do you think WFRP2 is missing some Dwarven Runes. Well, look now further than my site: Rune Magic Expansion. New Runes, old Runes, more Rune Magic rules and Runic Items. I will add more Runes and items in time. Now there are two famous Rune Weapons: Gotrek's Axe and Felix Jaegers sword Karaghul, which both use Runes found from my site.

9th Pflugzeit (3rd month) 2008
I have added two new celebrations to the Carnivals & Festivals - Feared Witching Night and Day of Mystery. There are some rules for magic-using during these days. And what else. Well, some official changes. Black Industries WFRP2 Forum is now closed. Sad. New official forum can be found from Fantasy Flight Games: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffgforums/forums/list.page

24th Jahrdrung (2nd month) 2008
New version on Alcohol & Tobacco Expansion. I checked little grammar. It was just bad, sorry. I hope it's now easier to read. Added also some new famous Dwarven brews there.

23th Jahrdrung (2nd month) 2008
Allright, now the future of WFRP2 is getting interesting. They (GW) are selling the RPG rights. So, there is hope still. Check this Fantasy Flight Games (and Black Industries & Games Workshop) announcement: 22/February/2008 - Fantasy Flight Games Announcement

20th Jahrdrung (2nd month) 2008
I have opened new page - Bestiary Expansion on this site. I'm collecting "missing" bestiary there. For opening there is rules for Kraken (part of my Norsca Project) and Liche. Liche rules are little more expanded and have also other information about Nehekharan magic, including needed Ritual to become (or make) Liche.

9th Jahrdrung (2nd month) 2008
And Nuln expands again (version 1.3)! New places, some changes (more parks...etc.), and map has become little bigger. New places OUTSIDE the walls also. Check more info about the changes from the Nuln Checklist -document.

3rd Jahrdrung (2nd month) 2008
Ok, it's been almoust one week from "Black Monday" (28th Nachexen) and Black Industries Announcement: 28/January/2008 - Black Industries Announcement. News that stunned us all. So, what have I done this time then? Well, drink. Every day and night... I'm so sad. No, actually not every day drinking, but I'm still sad. But, I have worked with Norsca Project again. If official publishing of WFRP is AGAIN in halt, then it's up to all off us fans to keep the Warhammer RPG alive. This is Warhammer 25th anniversary year, so this thing with RPG is little sad and strange. But Warhammer RPG still lives, long has, and always will!

24th Nachexen (1st month) 2008
And Nuln keeps getting bigger! Version 1.2 will be out today. I found many excellent adventures from the Black Industries sites scenario page that happen in Nuln (didn't remember those before). Checked them out and added all the places I could find to the map: Nuln map, Version 1.2. Also, remember to check those adventures from the BI site, great work.

23rd Nachexen (1st month) 2008
Some minor changes. New version from NULN map, Old World Animals and also Norsca: Religion. I have also updated Links very much, so if you want to find other Warhammer related sites check that out also.

20th Nachexen (1st month) 2008
New map is here: The Jewel of the Empire - NULN, version 1.0! You can found it from the Rule Expansions.

11th Nachexen (1st month) 2008
NORSCA MAP, VERSION 1.6.

9th Nachexen (1st month) 2008
I have opened new page: Carnivals & Festivals. Idea is to collect biggest celebrations of the year here (and maybe smaller ones also). We start with legend: The Middenheim Carnival.

4th Nachexen (1st month) 2008
Everyone survived Hexenstag? Good. Happy New Year then! And with Norsca we start: NORSCA MAP, VERSION 1.5 IS HERE! Enjoy.

28th Vorhexen (12th month) 2007
And more changes (or actually expansions) to Timeline: Gotrek & Felix. Mostly because information from Manslayer. I have added them during the Christmas week.

21st Vorhexen (12th month) 2007
Finally I had time to start reading Nathan Long: Manslayer. And that has caused few changes in the timelines. I have decided to shorten the Trollslayer timeline (adventures that Gotrek & Felix had in Border Princes) to one year (which was originally my idea also). And this also brings all other happenings one year back (Skaven Invasion in Nuln 2504, Siege of Praag 2505...etc.). So, check them out if your Gotrek & Felix fan.

4th Vorhexen (12th month) 2007
Christmas time is coming! Yeah! New coloring on the site because of that - I dont really know why, but here we go... Also I'm publishing version 1.1 from Alcohol & Tobacco Expansion on the site today. Couple of changes there (mostly about Mead), but there are few other things also. As for Norsca Map, a new version is coming, but I can't promise that I will finnish it this month. But I'll try, maybe for Christmas...

18th Ulriczeit (11th month) 2007
Unhealty life is here: Alcohol & Tobacco Expansion can be now found from the Rules section. Long list of known alcohol expanded little bigger project...

12th Ulriczeit (11th month) 2007
It's been long time since last updates. Lot to do in life. But I have also waited for Realm of the Ice Queen (great sourcebook) and C.L. Werner: Palace of the Plague Lord (Norsca based novel). Now, there is new version on Expanded Careers (new look based on the RotIQ and changed few entries and added more references to official sources), Norsca: Religion (some new heroes and ideas) and Old World Animals (new look based on the RotIQ and NDM creature stats, but also some new animals). What else? Well, version 1.1 from Norsca Map is coming. Lot's of editing mostly because map found from RotIQ. Some ideas for changes from other fans. I will ask more ideas from the official forums. And there are couple of little changes/entries in the Timelines also.

12th Kaldezeit (10th month) 2007
Norsca: Timeline is now it's own web-page (not anymore .pdf file). Seems to be changing currently so much, that this way it's easier to make modifications. Also changed the page names for TIMELINE pages, so modify your links (if you have direct links).

5th Kaldezeit (10th month) 2007
Some little changes on the site. New look in the Gotrek & Felix Timeline (changed to table like other Timelines for more clear look).

18th Brauzeit (9th month) 2007
I have added many new entries in the Timeline (both) in past week. Also some new things in the Gotrek & Felix Timeline (Felix just became two years older - 40 years old in 2522).

12th Brauzeit (9th month) 2007
Timeline (2400-2499) added to the site.

5th Brauzeit (9th month) 2007
Added another "little project" of mine on the site: Timeline (2500-). I have tried to gather as much happenings there I could found and even placed events like Nemesis Crown also! What about the Norsca Project then? Well, next document is coming soon...

21st Erntezeit (8th month) 2007
Added new section: Gotrek & Felix Timeline. Online timeline for Slayer Saga. One of my little Warhammer projects.

4th Erntezeit (8th month) 2007
New versions on EVERY document! Graphical changes, but also some small minor corrections/changes in all documents. Career Expansion has some problems with tables inside tables. Some borders are missing. Probably bothers only me, but strange problem. I blame Adobe...

New Norsca Timeline version (1.2). Also updates on Links section.

21st Nachgeheim (7th month) 2007

19th Nachgeheim (7th month) 2007
Aaargh... Mistakes, mistakes. Some things were left out, but most of all it's my grammar. Sigmar. My english teacher would be shamed. And I tried to check them. New versions...

18th Nachgeheim (7th month) 2007
Finally first versions of couple of documents online! Norsca Timeline (Version 2). I checked few dates on couple of sources and changed the timeline little. Then the Career Expansion is finally "ready". Also there is Bestiary Expansion: Old World Animals. So, Enjoy.

9th Nachgeheim (7th month) 2007
