Our Patreon gets you exclusive access to Discord: https://www.patreon.com/Squarebased On this one Rob and Val discuss some of the amazing resources that the community is creating to make your games of Warhammer the Old World run smoother and ... funner? Links to the apps below:  tow.whfb.app - Incredible resource for referencing the core rules on the fly. Makes navigation far easier and has an outstanding search function. Work in progress. (Digital resources for many other versions of Fantasy can be found at whfb.app) old-world-builder.com - Fantastic army building site. Clean and simple, does what it says on the tin. newrecruit.eu - Platform for armybuilding developed for 9th age. Has all applicable rules on the unit entries themselves, reducing the need to cross reference multiple sources. Lots of great additional features as well. Can also generate unit cards that include all relevant rules for each unit for easy reference. Free to use.  www.warhall.eu - Platform for playing tabletop wargames. Great for practice or trying out new ideas. Designed and created for use with 9th age and supports all the essential Old World mechanics natively. Does not use any copyrighted assets, so you can feel good about that. Integrates with newrecruit so that you can simply click one button and your army is ready to deploy. Totally free to play for 30 days with a subscription plan for premium features after that.  Tabletop Simulator aka TTS  - Available on Steam, assets for Old World found in the Steam Workshop. Used more widely than Warhall but has a fairly steep learning curve to get to the tabletop. Once you learn the ropes though, provides another great way to play Old World online.  Links to the podcast only version on all platforms:  https://squarebasedpodcast.podbean.com/ #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #warhammerfantasy #warhammercommunity #squarebassed #theoldworld #warhammerpodcast #thehonestwargamer
