Gameplay

Kemler would return as the players' nemesis in many more Warhammer products. Cardboard cutouts for the various non-player characters are also included, although the gamemaster could substitute separately purchased metal miniatures offered by Games Workshop. Background information about the setting of the Frugelhorm Valley, Gimbrin's Mine, Bogels Farm and Frugelhofen Village is also included.
