ZWEIHÄNDER Grim and Perilous (a WARHAMMER retroclone)

[Moniker]

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.

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…

One year ago today, your humble author decided to turn Project Corehammer into the RPG you see developing before you now.

I’d like to believe that my vision, coupled with the extreme patience of our playtesters, critical feedback from contributors, proofreading from our in-house editors, the excellent cover and interior artists and its thoroughly-tested ruleset will prove that ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG will be a solid competitor against other top-tier RPG products.

For those who’ve been waiting for a release date, all’s we can say is that “it will be done when it’s done” (tentative Q1 of 2013). We want to make sure that all of the kinks are worked out, so that Tier One play is as balanced as Tier Three play. We also want to deliver an affordable product that has professional polish, which we feel is oftentimes missing from old school renaissance (OSR) products.

We appreciate your patience during the development process, and remain dedicated towards putting out the best “grim & perilous” product that’s hit the shelves since Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay!

Best,
Daniel Fox
Author and lead designer of ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG

Our new editor came onboard a few weeks ago for ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG. We've since started cleaning up the character creation chapter, and have outlined a few immediate considerations you’ll make when creating your first Grim & Perilous character.

Take a look at a sample of what we’re writing, and let us know if we’re hitting close to the mark with a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay inspired retroclone:

I've oftentimes found myself at odds with the binary "alignment" system a number of popular RPGs employ. While they provide a rough guideline for players to roleplay a character's innate leanings, they seem far too restricting.


Personality temperaments are an important facet of any grim & perilous game. Today, we look at Blessings and Curses; the strength of a character and their greatest flaws:
