Unlike most role-playing games, ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG doesn’t require you to track “hit points” or wound numeric values. Instead, it uses a narrative mechanic to derive what condition a character is in, and when they sustain long-term Injuries. Learn more about the world's first...

Since the dawn of time, the forces of chaos have sought to corrupt the seeds of life and twist the soul of mankind. Locked within this eternal struggle, the Templar Fanatic knows there is no place for half measures. Vows of unwavering faith and fealty drive them to face the abominations of this...

From isolation, utter powerlessness, ambition denied, paranoid delusions, perversions of nature and nightmare-inducing terrors from beyond, madness punctuates all but the mildest of adventures in ZWEIHÄNDER. There are countless horrors waiting to prey upon the intrepid, foolish enough to blunder...

A grim & perilous world is fraught with danger from all sides. Beyond the sword blows of marauders and gunshot of highwaymen, there are other ways to perish. Raging infernos, drugged foods, exhaustion, plummeting from upon high and even the Poisonous effects of alcohol can whittle down the...

One of the most glaring omissions from Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay second and third editions was the Gnome. One of our favorite Races, we've decided to include them into ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG. Although we are still working through their Racial Traits, take a sneak peak at the description...

The community has been asking about how larger creatures are handled in ZWEIHÄNDER. Naturally, we didn’t want to simply “buff up” their Primary Attributes, as it would throw off the delicate math balance on the back end. Instead, we use Primary Attribute Bonuses to reflect how each size category...

To complement the Ruffian from yesterday, we present the Rebellious Peasant. Unlike the Ruffian, they suffer from an Affliction – a disorder stemming from their Corruption Points total. Take a look within to learn more! http://grimandperilous.com/?p=583

Here’s a sneak peak at one of the foes from the Bestiary: the Ruffian. Note that the layout is not finalized. We have also stripped the “fluff” description of the Ruffian and the “seeds” suggestions for the GM how to use them. However, it should give you an idea what to expect as a GM...

Thanks for the kudos and feedback! If you are willing to wait about a week or so, we will be releasing the final beta to the public titled "GRIMDARK Edition". It runs combat much quicker, has a better Injury chart and relies on Damage and Peril Condition Tracks. No more adding/subtracting "hit...

We have received numerous requests to outline the rules for Magick in ZWEIHÄNDER. As a start, let’s take a look at a Profession within the Ranger Archetype, the enigmatic Hedgewise! http://grimandperilous.com/?p=539

EDIT: As an update from yesterday, I spoke with Chris Birch by email. In fact, they are not announcing WFRPG 4e. This is a real shame. Good news, and potentially bad as well. The ultimate question is this: what does Games Workshop and FFG intend to do with the license for the roleplaying...

It was pure speculation at first, but the announcement of WFRP 4e has almost been confirmed by Chris Birch of Modiphius. This is a grand idea, as I absolutely love Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition. The ruleset is clean, fun and promotes the "dark" attitude prevalent in British RPGs with a grim &...

An excellent article was just published about the "death" of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay over at Order of Gamers. ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG even received an honorable mention! http://www.orderofgamers.com/wfrp-3rd-edition-is-dead-long-live-wfrp/
