ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG - a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay retroclone

Say hello again to Hugo Stoat!

After being drafted into service by his liege lord’s press gang, he spent a number of years in the field. Hugo was soft and frightened; he certainly didn’t know what was in store for him. Through the crucible and into the flames, Hugo has slowly been honed into an instrument of war. Even after suffering from a particularly frightening defeat (sacrificing a Destiny Point in the process), Hugo emerged a true warrior. He even earned a nickname amongst his comrades, now called “the Beauty” for his half-ear, the mole on his cheek and the horrifying scars he proudly wears as a badge of honor.

This character sheet represents Hugo at the end of the Second Tier. His current profession is as a Militiaman. He has spent enough Experience Points to complete his Second Tier of growth.

Walking Dad said:
German is my native language, and some of the names in the Warhammer world had an unintended comedy factor for German native speakers. If you intend to use German names for some part of your, I hope you don't intend to "fix this problem".

Are you sure it was unintended? Because the Warhammer I remember might well have made the fake German names silly deliberately as an extra layer of joke.

I lack any insight information on this matter. Some were funny, but some had just bad grammar and spelling. They should fix these.

Today marks the end of Hugo Stoat's career.

Hugo had fought for his people, eventually leading the coup d’état against his sovereign lord. But he now bears the many scars of war. Exposure to the horrors of the hidden world, Hugo has developed a crippling fear of darkness. Bearing witness to his lord’s dark rituals, Hugo also lost the use of one of his eyes…but in its place, a dark power has taken interest in him. When the moon is right, Hugo will feel a slight passing of warm air on the back of his neck. As this happens, the murk of night parts before his vision. Fearful that others will condemn him as a heretic, he takes great pains to hide this power. And now, Hugo sits as burgomeister of Hastings but the darkness continues to call to him in his dreams. Hugo’s innocent mind has been deranged and his humanity eroded before the chaos of the grim & perilous world he inhabits. Although some may call “the Beauty” a hero, dark thoughts preoccupy him as Hugo slowly devolved to become alike the former lord he’d fought to unseat…

looking good

Will there be any guidelines for running the game with lower tech levels than warhammer assumes? I strongly prefer a medieval game with no guns.

Yeah lots of great teases there, love the sheets and art. Really looking forward to the full rules
