Fox" data-source="post: 7855806" data-attributes="member: 55033">Hey gang, Daniel here.I can't speak to the Dungeons & Dragons articles with the New York Times, but I can tell you how the Zweihander Grim & Perilous RPG article on Forbes.com came about.Rob Wieland is a contributor/reviewer for Forbes.com, Geek & Sundry, ScreenCrush and several other media outlets. He is on the Andrews McMeel Publishing publicity list, thus he receives PR for our games. As is common with PR, we send out books to all our media contacts. People in our PR list are not obligated to provide anything in exchange – we have no expectations of a review.A few weeks after PR dropped for the Zweihander RPG Phone PDF, Rob reached out to me personally on Twitter, indicating he was going to do a review for Forbes.com, and needed some key pieces of art. Like any good reviewer, Rob is a consummate professional, and didn't indicate whether the review would be positive or critical. We honestly didn't know what to expect, and didn't ask. We buckled up for what was to come next.Rob's review on Forbes.com keyed in on the most important elements of Zweihander RPG: its history, the game's intent, the value in randomly determining a character's traits and what the game does differently than Dungeons & Dragons. Very happy to see that he was able to distill down a 667-page omnibus into seven short paragraphs.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.forbes.com/sites/robwieland/2019/11/14/embrace-the-chaos-of-the-grim-and-perilous-zweihander-rpg/#312aea2771d0[/URL]</blockquote>
