ZWEI fans!

During our Kickstarter, we pledged to make the game ‘free to play’ under Creative Commons Licensing. We have already delivered upon this promise by offering the art-free Early Access Edition as a ‘pay what you want’ on DriveThruRPG.

In cooperation with a very avid fan, we are going to blow this promise out by offering a ZWEIHÄNDER Systems Resource Document: a fully functioning, searchable wiki-styled webpage in HTML 5. Although we’re still in the early stages of development, you can head over to our website to see mock-ups of progress so far: https://grimandperilous.com/zweihander-online-zweihander-online/

We love that Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd edition is back on DriveThruRPG, but we really didn't like that it was $20 on the first day of release. So, we decided to lower our PDF price to $13 for thirteen days.

Your move, Cubicle 7 Entertainment. #friendlycompetition

We received the physical version of ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous today!

As I previously spoke of at Kickstarter, printing was delayed due to serious concerns with quality from our printer at LuLu.com. Simply put, print-on-demand quality from Lulu is not only substandard, I would never have felt comfortable having this occupy a retailer’s shelf. The book I’m about to show you not only blows the previous version out of the water, it’s easily on par with the print standards of Paizo and WotC. This new print is textbook quality.

Here are the physical specs on the book in-hand, and the previous version from Lulu:

Local printer (new version)

• Interior: 688 pages of grim & effin’ perilous
• Size: 8.5″ X 10.75″
• Weight: 5.56lbs (ZWEIHÄNDER both in namesake and heft)
• Text stock: 70# white matte, full bleed
• Cover stock+print: 100#, 4/0 Process + matte lamination (soft touch)
• Bindery: smyth sewn case bound (red stitch), head and foot bands
• Ribbon: 1/2″ red cloth

Lulu.com (weenie version)

• Interior: 674 pages of grim & effin’ perilous
• Size: 8.5″ X 10.75″
• Weight: 4.16lbs (ZWEIHÄNDER both in namesake and heft)
• Text stock: 50#, full bleed
• Cover stock+print: 90# gloss lamination
• Bindery: casewrap hardcover
• Ribbon: none

I will have updates for shipment later this week. Please reserve any questions you may have about your order until after our next update. In the meanwhile, you can watch a short walk-through of the book on Youtube, and view images of ZWEIHÄNDER (compared to its predecessors) at our website: https://grimandperilous.com/zweihander-physical-book-hands-on/

Hear ye, hear ye!

For those who have yet to complete your order for the physical book, you will need to do so before August 4th. We will be shutting down our order portal in preparation for shipment next week. If you are unsure whether you've completed your order, you can retrieve your survey from this link:

https://app.crowdox.com/retrieve/grimandperilous/zweihander-grim-and-perilous-rpg

I will post another update next week once we have all the shipping arrangements settled.

In other news...

We have officially sold out of all our individual pre-order books. That's over 3,600 books! Happy we could get them all moved, but sad we only have a few cases left for retailers. For those who missed it, we'll have print-on-demand options through DriveThroughRPG starting in September, and another limited print run next year.

Stay tuned on our Facebook page or home page at https://grimandperilous.com for news on a revised GM screen with new illustrations by Dejan Mandic later this year. We will also begin sharing out information about our next supplement. For those of you who have read the PDF, you may have even spied the supplement's name (buried as an easter egg).

Thanks everyone for your support. Stay tuned next week for shipment details!
