Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG, generally referred to simply as Zweihänder, is an ENnie award winning tabletop role-playing game published by Grim & Perilous Studios in 2017 following a successful crowdfunding project. [1] As of 2019, the game is published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. [2]
Zweihänder is a dark fantasy tabletop role-playing game that uses percentile dice to resolve choices players and Gamemasters make when playing. In its combat system, most human-level creatures and characters can suffer only two or three successful attacks until receiving an "Injury" which can instantly cripple, kill or even permanently maim that character. Zweihänder has no powers for regeneration or resurrection, and it offers limited options for healing to players. "Fate Points" represent the fate or destiny of a character, and provide a some limited opportunities to avoid results that are crippling or killing. "Fortune Points" help a character avoid certain perilous situations.
Characters advance by entering a series of professions that provide access to a series of new or improved skills and bonuses to primary attributes. The profession system reflects the late medieval/early Renaissance setting of the game and gives an idea of what a character might have been doing either before or during their adventures (such as a preacher, coachman, courtier, inquisitor, merchant lord, rat catcher or sellsword).
In 2018, Zweihänder won the Gold ENnies award for Best Game and Product of the Year [3] at Gen Con.
