Role-playing Public Radio ran a session of Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG using the adventure 'Rough Night At The Three Feathers'. Listen in to this hilarious podcast of misadventure!

From Role Playing Public Radio:

It’s been a long day’s travel, and the sun is just beginning to go down as you see an inn in the distance. As you draw closer, you see the sign of three feathers hanging outside, and notice that the place is unusually busy.

Inside, the inn is bustling. servants are hurrying to and fro, and the innkeeper is engrossed in conversation with a scribe who carries a visibly bulging purse. “Welcome,” he says at last, “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, but as you can see, we have a distinguished guest tonight—the Gravin Maria-Ulrike von Liebewitz of Ambosstein, no less…I hardly know whether I’m coming or going with it all. Now, then—you want a room? What am I saying, of course you do. Ah, excuse me again, I’ll only be a moment.” You wait for another few minutes as he directs a train of servants to the Gravin’s rooms. “So sorry,” he says as he returns to you, “It really is mad this evening.”

This scenario was run by Noah of the Maple Syrup, Blood Money podcast.

Amazing.

BTW, so you have any kind of Systems License? Have an idea or two for stuff that could be added on (a couple of adventure locations and maybe a Chapbook) independently, but of course I don't know if it's possible to license that out.

Just got my book a few days ago, it's really nice and packed with content. The author suggested some books in the introduction as the Black Company and Game of Thrones. I would add Steven Erikson Malazan Empire for the gritty atmosphere and I guess I should take a look at Scott Lynch works.

I'm only 10% in but I'm already in love with it. I know why I don't like DnD5E that much and prefer this one; I prefer low fantasy, that's really clear in my mind now.
