Title: Heinrich Kimmler and Warhammer
Post by: Tush Hog on December 29, 2010, 08:04:52 PM

Since Heinrich Kemmler from the Dresdenverse is at least an homage to he of Warhammer fame (not sure if this has been officially confirmed), what if they were one and the same and these worlds could collide?

How would you go about it?

I've been itching to use Fate for a fantasy game and this might just be where I start.

Bonus points to anyone who stats up Gotrek with DFRPG  ;D

Kemmler was a notorious necromancer from the early days of Warhammer. Sometimes he was referred to as the Lichelord. Jim butcher has said that warhammer was his favorite rpg, so I'm pretty confident the name wasn't a coincidence :) I figure it might be fun to take the homage and just run with it.

It's definitely a tribute to Warhammer, but as to anything more? Doubtfully. But, then again, if you know what you're looking for, the DFs are littered with such tributes and "nods of the hat" and other such uber-nerd things. :)
