One-shot WFRP game at the party

[kultz]

As I have mentioned before, I an currently planning to run a short game of WFRP 2nd Edition at the sleepover.

The reason for this is to gauge the people's opinions on the system, and see if running a full game using WFRP later is possible.

The details are still fuzzy, however, but here's what I have in mind.

First of all, I wish to start the game fairly early in the night, probably somewhere after the initial fuss of everyone socializing, and before the traditional werewolf games start. That means somewhere between 4-8PM, depending on the amount of people present.
I am currently open to suggestions to the when and where of the game.

Secondly, regarding the game itself. I've planned this to be a short game, with a very small scale, and hopefully sample a little bit of everything in terms of game mechanics. Two hours is what I'm looking at in terms of time, and I can probably handle anywhere between 2-8 people.

It's not going to be very formal, as I plan to make some pre-made sheets with race and careers filled in, and the players can put their own name, gender, etc down.
I'll bring some dice, but chances are sharing will still be necessary.

Ideally, this would be the sort of game where everybody grabs a sheet, act like dirty peasants for two hours, and leave the table mildly entertained.

Any suggestions or comments?

P.S: No previous experience necessary, it will be a 'learning experience'

You have my sword pitchfork.
What do we need to bring?

[Psyentific]

You have my torch.

Whelp, I suppose I'll be printing a few sheets, but if you really insist, you can also roll on the suptg generator, which is just as good.
The sheets are there mostly so there's some stereotypical characters available (elf hunter, dwarf rat catcher, etc).

Aside from that, a pair of d10s is all that's really needed. Spare d10s for whoever wants to join in might help.

I'm in, but I don't know what WFRP is or what it stands for. Any chance a newbie can join in?

and though I love warhammer, i won't be in because i'll be doing other stuff at the party, and quite possibly be at the gym earlier in the day.

Since it's a one-shot game, anyone can join. The rules are pretty simple.

Eeeee... Me too.

Alright, due to logistical failures, I am either going to photocopy some sheets tomorrow, or make them by hand. Personally having the sheet is easier to read and to make sense of, so most likely I'll have to make some copies.

Also, I'm going to assume that nobody knows the rules (except Ilya and Leo).
