Above is the link to my dropbox folder where I am hosting my WFRP3 Beginner Box project. The goal is to make a Beginner Box for WFRP3, similar to what FFG did for SWEotE or Paizo with Pathfinder. I have uploaded character folios for A Day Late, A Shilling Short (4 characters) and Journey to Black Fire Pass (6 characters).
The character folios are meant to be printed on one US Letter Borderless sheet with two-page layout so that page 1 and 2 are together the front, and page 3 and 4 are on the back together. That way, when folded, the folio is the size of ~ a current WFRP3 career card. When opened, the new player (to WFRP3 and RPG) has the information needed for a Beginner session.
The GM will need to provide each players with the appropriate actions, talents and abilities cards, as well as the additional mini-cards (fortune point cards, on which 3 tokens are placed, and race abilities cards). For the basic actions, I also provided a summary of the basic actions. Some GMs may decide to run Beginner sessions without the cards, or with only some cards. That's ok, the characters are balanced enough that they don't need the cards.
This is meant to introduce new players to RPG and WFRP3. After the first session, the player can buy advances with the help of the GM, and continue to use this folio if desired, but I didn't make provision for advances. My hope is to transition the players, after a few sessions, to the excellent Gitzman's character sheet.
I posted all of this on the FFG boards, but wanted a thread here as well for those who may not visit the FFG boards often.

Very cool! Handy addition for teaching of the new folk.

Hi All,
Yesterday I tested my Beginner Box Character Folios for the first time with three players who had played once (a year and half ago) and were thus proper beginners. I created three characters adapted to those players, a wood elf hunter for my sister in law, an apprentice wizard for my brother in law, and a dwarf troll slayer for my wife.
Below are two pictures, one of the folios in use at the game table as we are having a rally step break, and one of the entire game table and players. I was running Night of Blood, from the Restless Dead Campaign 1st edition, using Fantasy Grounds 2 as my NPC management/Story board. The only WFRP3 mechanisms I left out was the Party Sheet and Diseases rules, but I used Corruption and Insanities rules.
Cheers
Ceodryn

P.S. been playing many pathfinder games via FGII and Google+ hangout I much prefer that over Skype.
