Thanks for the applications, all! I've got a good number of contributors, and now closing submissions. Best, Daniel

ZWEIHÄNDER, A GRIM AND PERILOUS ROLEPLAYING GAME, WANTS YOU! As I am closing in on the final touches of ZWEIHÄNDER, I have a handful of items I would like to finalize here in the next few weeks. Story Traits and Racial Traits are where a lot of the "color" of the system shines. I am looking...

To color, or not to color: that is the question. Color: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34934670/02_colors_72.jpg B&W: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34934670/02_72.jpg

I thought I'd share a scan of one of our player's character sheets. This is for revision 4, which is pretty close to the final version. The character sheet is a mock-up; the finished version I am working with gitzmansgallery.com with. The player isn't the best at spelling, but it's the cleanest...

Some of the final inks have come in. I am very please with how they turned out! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34934670/06_72.jpg Left Top: Footpad Right Top: Forester Left Bottom: Gambler Right Bottom: Gaoler

One thing I feel was always missing from tabletop RPGs was a way to track events over the course of a campaign that denoted narrative changes, above and beyond any sort of cataloguing or note taking players and GMs make outside the game. Zweihänder assumes that earning these sort of narrative...

Adherent, Alchemist and Courtier I've been working on profession descriptions this evening, and I thought I'd share. Although they do not include the characteristics, skills, talents, traits and the like I believe the descriptions are evocative, and give a clear indication to the tone of the...

The last batch of concept art for the Professions has come in. We're now up to 62 Professions for the core book! I recommended several changes to the artist this morning, but they definitely come closer to the feedback I've received from everyone. Take a look...

More concept art to feast your eyes on! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34934670/8_72.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34934670/9_72.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34934670/10_72.jpg You can view more concept art and join the discussion for ZWEIHÄNDER grim and perilous over here: Strike to Stun Forums...

Encumbrance seems to be one of those items a lot of games make a fuss over. Furthermore, it becomes a point of contention ofttimes. ZWEI proposes a super simple system that is simple and easy, with a few general guidelines - Encumbrance Encumbrance is a measure of how much a character can...

One of my favorite items that WFRPG 2e offers is the Fortune and Fate Point system. It provides a "get out of jail free" card for rolls and situations that result in maiming or death, gives options to tempt fate with a re-roll and most importantly, gives players a sense of hope against terrible...

I have officially commissioned Outland Creative (Outland Creative |) to create the look and feel of ZWEIHÄNDER! Note that some of the illustrations are going through revisions, but should give you a look into the "grim and perilous" nature of ZWEIHÄNDER's design...

The concept art for Professions is coming along nicely! Here are a few pencil sketches depicting a Beggar, a Berserker, the Mercenary and the Busker! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34934670/4.jpg Also, I am working on a website for ZWEIHÄNDER. You can preview it at GrimAndPerilous.com!

Today, I present a story that reflect the grim and perilous tone of the system. Meet Wilhelm Eckhardt - FOR MATURE READERS ONLY http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34934670/Wilhelm_Promotion.pdf

I technically have two groups, with me running all of the testing. We have a total of 12 individual play testers. This has been a solo effort for me over the years. It wasn't until late last year that I decided to actually start the publishing effort. All print copies will include the PDF for...

Well, my art costs have exceeded my budget. I have considered a Kickstarter. I am going to do PDF releases at $5-7 a pop and a B&W version of the book through LuLu.com. I have a local distributer here in Missouri and Kansas, both shops which are huge Warhammer fans. Print on demand is...

It definitely has an old-school feel like 1e, but employs the fluidity of 2e's rule set. Careers are fully intact, with a number of new ones as well. Insanity, fear, corruption, fatigue, disease, nasty critical effects - the gritty nature of WFRP is there with a vast number of improvements where...

The "universal" approach was to make it world agnostic, much like GURPS. Meaning, you could import it into your own homebrew, the Warhammer world, an adaptation of Lankhmar or others. It's bi-line is officially now "Grim and Perilous RPG System", which lends a bit more weight towards the dark...

Hello again! ZWEIHÄNDER is coming along swiftly. I began importing all of the copy into my templates last night. And while there are some minor tweaks in process, it's getting closer to completion. I have lined up my second artist to begin illustrating the 60+ careers. With a bit of hard work...

I am looking for non-exclusive artwork I can relicense underneath the banner of a new product I am working on called ZWEIHÄNDER. Here's a look at the cover, which should give some indication of the "feel" I am trying to express: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34934670/zweihander.jpg Essentially, I am...
