Zweihander RPG in a nutshell

Call me new-fashioned, but I’m done counting grid squares in D&D and tracking every pound of gear like some accountant for encumbrance rules.

Let’s skip the suck and get to the good parts of the adventure, the ones that actually matter.

Halloween whispers,
Children dance in rot and flies.
Tooth decay begins.

Today is TTRPG Mail Day!

The Stranger Things x D&D Welcome to the Hellfire Club boxed just arrived!

Pretty sure this is going to be a collectible in time. I have the older Stanger Things boxed kit. Wonder how it compares?

A closer look at the Raptor Ruckus RPG Quickstart, compatible with MÖRK BÖRG.

It's a survival horror TTRPG by way of Jurassic Park.

21 hours remain before Raptor Ruckus ttrpg wraps up Kickstarter!

I had the opportunity to edit/write a scenario or two for this killer BORG-like survival horror game. Jurassic Park survival horror? Free Quickstart, too!

Get on board! www.kickstarter.com/projects/epi...

Smoke 'em if you got 'em, it's Rapture Day!

On that note, go watch Damon Lindelof's sleeper hit series The Leftovers on HBO.

Even at ages 8+, gamers gunna strategize for the best use of Feather Fall in D&D.

We don't use books, just #OSR vibes.

That said, everything here looks premium, and I really appreciate the detail Todd put into the review. It helps frame what this set is trying to do, even if I’m a little skeptical about where it lands in the market.

🧵 Todd Kenrick did a kick-ass review of the new D&D Starter Kit. Give it a watch and subscribe to his channel!

It’s really interesting to see how Wizards has packaged D&D 5.5 as a starter kit: www.youtube.com/live/y1rZXuX...

Some people accessorize with handbags. Others accessorize with the collapse of civilization in a core rulebook.

ZWEIHANDER RPG Reforged Edition, all cards, and the GM screen are part of our Labor Day sale. Link in the next post.👇🏻

Some ppl melted like snowflakes when they saw the new Cracker Barrel logo.

I hear you. I’m listening.

So I’ve reverted back to our old dang logo for ZWEIHANDER REFORGED.

ZWEIHANDER RPG Reforged Edition isn’t a sequel or a reboot.

It’s me grabbing the original, dragging it behind the woodshed & hammering it into something sharper & less heavy in the hands.

Still grim. Still perilous. Just sharper & easier to wield.

Now on DriveThruRPG (link below)

Thanks, Patty.

ZWEIHANDER RPG is now rebranded under my name (thanks to my editor Patty's insistence on "audience" and "readership").

Rebrands usually move things forward. Mine? I set the TTRPG "scene" back decades. Because piracy.

So, expect new TTRPG books & crit-fail screwups, now stamped with my name.
