This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I've been extremely impressed with Dejan Mandic's work with ZWEIHÄNDER. It strikes very close to the look and feel of Warhammer while capturing the spirit of a "grim & perilous" game system.

We've decided to change the direction of the artwork with the book. With that, I present to you the first of our revised Profession's artwork. Meet your local village Reeve!

Very cool illo!

But as a hopeless fan of shit-and-mud WFRP, I must nitpick :D isn't a brace of pistols and a breastplate a bit too extravagant for a reeve (or watchman, or militiaman, or whatevs)? This guy just screams "advanced career" (or more generally, "experienced adventurer") rather than "your village reeve" to me.

We at Grim & Perilous Studios don't believe in a grim & perilous economy. For those who listened to our recent interview over at The Going Last Podcast, some listeners may have picked up on an important announcement. For those who missed it, we're proud to announce that we'll be releasing an art-free version of ZWEIHÄNDER for free. Want more details? Read the PDF to learn more!

From the nightmare terrors beyond, to isolation and powerlessness of the self, tension is a hallmark of any grim & perilous game.

Here's a first look at the first few pages of Chapter XI: Fear and Insanity. While it doesn't represent the full chapter or the final product, it should give you the broad strokes of the mechanics while informing the role fear should play in in ZWEIHÄNDER. We'd love to near your opinions on its presentation!

Today, we present an early look at how injuries and healing works in ZWEIHÄNDER. As is the hallmark of any grim & perilous system, injuries persist over time. The healing and injuries rules conform to many of the inherent groundwork Warhammer laid out years ago.

We'd love to hear any opinions or constructive criticism you may have!

For every 100 new LIKES we get on Facebook, we'll release a new Profession's illustration from the book. In celebration of our 300th LIKE tonight, here's a peak at the Barber Surgeon!

PLIERS...SCALPEL...SCISSORS...BONESAW
With an assortment of bizarre and frightening instruments, the Barber Surgeon sees to "curing" the injured. You may flip the results to succeed Awareness and Heal Tests when recognizing illness and treating the injured with your medical Skills.

We've vastly simplified the rules for healing as of our last play test. Does it still elicit a "grim & perilous" feel? Please share with us any constructive criticisms you may have for or against it.
