Skirmishers in The Old World: Shenanigans and Skullduggery

The Old World Rulebook is thick, cumbersome, and formatted in a way that incites a special kind of emotion in the hearts of all of us. To quote a famous undead pirate the rules are written to be “more like guidelines” and assume the players have a lot of good faith. This works for the majority of us, but every once in a while the players come upon an interaction or rule that seems to defy the notion of...
