The Necromunda Sourcebook was a rulebook for the first edition of the Games Workshop tabletop game Necromunda. Released in the boxed set along with the Necromunda Rulebook (which contained the rules for playing individual games), the Sourcebook gave the background to the planet Necromunda and allowed players to create gangs and fight them in a series of linked games, called Campaigns. It also contained rules for playing specific scenarios, using Hired Guns, buying rare equipment between battles, exploiting territories and acquiring experience, skills and injuries.
