ZWEIHANDER RPG: Revised Core Rulebook by Daniel D Fox

ZWEIHANDER Grim & Perilous RPG is a bloodier, grimmer, and grittier version of classical tabletop role-playing games.

Zweihander has managed to do what so many retro-inspired RPGs currently fail at - it both intimately captures the spirit of a certain type of fantasy (in Zweihander’s case, the blood-soaked and mud-drenched “dark fantasy” genre) and escapes from its mechanical and social shortcomingsToo often, games inspired by what came before forget that this hobby has grown and changed, and hew too close to outmoded tropes and bad design. Zweihander manages by the grim machinations of its creator, Daniel D. Fox, to forge itself into something both eerily familiar and utterly belonging to the current moment in games. The diverse and beautiful art, the modern and purposeful writing and the powerful sense that this game is a game made not only to pay homage to what came before but to make something new of it all elevate Zweihander above every other retro-clone and nostalgia renaissance game out there. If I want a game about gritty losers trying to make it in a world out to get them, I’m going to reach for Zweihander every time. (Adam Koebel, co-creator of Dungeon World)
Gamers who are hungry for a game where characters must hold on for dear life through a deadly learning curve until they can truly call themselves adventurers will find a lot to love in the Zweihander RPG. (Forbes)
