Sounds like more playtesting is needed before you go to print.

Which is fine. Better more playtesting and editing now than errata later. Errata sheets have always been uber lame.

Our friends over at IGAROL.org has released the beta (titled GRIMDARK  Edition) for ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG in Spanish! Experience a grim & perilous tabletop RPG by downloading here: http://www.igarol.org/otros/zweihander/articulo/5153/primera-version-en-espanol-disponible

Over the past few months, we've been working on pulling together the Magick chapter. Well, we're proud to say that we have completed our first draft!

This first run includes the basic rules for using Magick in gameplay, describes the differences between divine and arcane Magick and how to learn and acquire Magick for characters you are playing in the GRIMDARK Edition beta.

We have kept much of the flavor and familiarity of previous editions, while putting our own spin on it with streamlined mechanics. It also includes most of the Petty Magick spells you'll see in the final version. Note that as this is a draft version, it is incomplete and likely to change before publication. However, the rules as presented are perfectly serviceable for your GRIMDARK beta game.

As mentioned yesterday, Magick is now ready for gameplay in the GRIMDARK Edition beta. Keeping in this spirit, we'd like to present two arcane Magick-wielders: the Diabolist and the Hedgewise.

Additionally, we've included supplemental material for Chaos Manifestations and a revised list of Petty Magick spells. Download the PDFs at the link within! http://grimandperilous.com/?p=709

We have polished up Chapter 11: Grimoire for the GRIMDARK Beta Edition!. The Grimoire will help guide you on how to use Magick in your ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG tabletop game. It includes rules for attaining Magick, the basic principles for using Magick, Channeling Power and more!

Today, we wanted to follow up on a few questions regarding the beta. One constant bit of feedback we receive is with respect to weapons and damage output.

By default, any weapon a character uses references the Combat Bonus (CB) + a 1D6 Fury Die (which "explodes" on a face 6) to determine Damage. Whether its a misericorde, sabre, longbow or arquebus, its Damage output isn’t distinguished weapon by weapon (as you’d see with other role-playing games). Why, you may ask?

Simply put, ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG doesn’t distinguish the actual damage math differences between dirks, hunting bows, knuckledusters, mortuary swords, pistols, arbalest crossbows or any other weapon. Instead, the distinctions are made within the Qualities a weapon possess. Qualities distinguish weapons from one another, and when certain Qualities are combined, they begin to tell much more about what a weapon does (other than deal Damage).

Right in time with All Hallow's Eve, we present a spooky new Elite Profession – the Necromancer!

While other arcanists seek to merge themselves with Aetheric plane by calling into the realm of chaos, Necromancers have a more earthly goal – to live forever. They have embarked on a quest to cheat death, living into eternity either in their current body or a more "divine" form which can withstand the march of time. Rejecting the idea of godly dominion, Abyssal service and the wheel of fate, their singular task is to bind their spirit permanently to the material realm. To them, there are no gods, only men. And through necromancy, they seek to ensorcel their bodies with the darkest of Magicks to live onwards. It is not inherently an evil purpose, so much as a selfish one. Preserving themselves for all eternity to see the fruit of their labors – whether for lineage, largesse or their innovations – is the ultimate goal of every Necromancer.

QuoteIt is spoken that Orks cannot reproduce, only able to grow their numbers by a terrible mutation spread across the slaughtered. Victims of an Ork's blade sometimes undergo a horrendous transformation. A deadly fungus crawls across their corpse – spreading at an alarming rate – during the putrefaction and decomposition phase. This fungus seals wounds, and as the body swells with barbaric thew, the viscera are hardened by cirrhosis. As this happens, the face of the corpse changes from its deathly pallor to a porcine-like image. And by the new moon, the victim is reborn, drawing its first breath as a vile Ork. This process has confounded even the foremost of academic minds, but there is no doubt that the seeds of corruption must first be present before this terrible fate for the slaughtered can occur, for not every victim of an Orkish attack results in revivification into this putrid form.

OK, your Orcs are pretty cool.
