The Ratter is a Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play zine, published by the community on The Rat Catcher's Guild Discord server. The Ratter focuses on content related to WFRP 4e, which was released by Cubicle 7 in November of 2018. It featured one-shots, fanart, fan lore, fanmade supplemental game rules, character careers, OCs with statblocks, and complete fan adventure modules.

The first issue was published in August 2019, and subsequent issues were released quarterly through 2021, after which publication became irregular. As of mid-2024, fans continue to work on making new issues.
