WFRP - Middenheim
From RPGwiki
Yep, you're right, it was indeed Jonah that kept trying to kill his alleged father. All very star wars. Anyway, in a few day's I'll edit this bit of the wiki again to remove the Jonah discussion!

My charactor in this was occasionally frustating but none the less quite fun. He was a super-charismatic halfling cook with almost no fighting ability at all. He spent most fights hidden behind the best cover, occasionally poking his head out to sling-shot someone, whilst being protected by Dancer - his magic-flying-sword.
I joined this one when it was half over and I ended up playing Kev's wizard after he left. Playing a spell caster in wfrp could be a frustrating experience at the best of time, but it got worse in my case. Do you recall that at one point he were all mounted on hourses trying to escape a group of goblin wolfriders? Sandy had this little board to show where we all were. Each of us rolled dice to escape. I rolled seven 1's in a row and got caught. I had to spend a fate point to get out of that one. It wouldn't have been so bad, but Adam rolled a six first time and escaped in the first turn.

Craig's right. I seem to recall that the last we saw of the Wrath of the Immortals Campaign had Jonah sending an assassin out to kill his father...

I'm pretty sure that was Goodstatz, it was a priest of Odin that was probably his father who Jonah was developing the first half of an Oedipus Complex over...

In this adventure I played one of my most complex characters, Axel Von Middenheim. Blessed with an almost god-like aim with a bow or a throwing knife, Axel was a dangerous man to know. He was basically a good soul, but a very deep thinker, and as the adventures wore on he became increasingly disturbed by the chaos horrors he witnessed. As a result he was occasionally prone to acts of violence which seemed out of character with his normally level-headed approach to life. He ended up marrying into nobility, but I think my enduring memory of Axel is when he was trying to stop an enemy who was fleeing on horseback. As the hapless rogue mounted his horse, Axel (who was several tens of yards away) threw a dagger with such deadly accuracy and force that it severed the rogue's hand and the shock killed him instantly.
