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.

For immediate release:

UK games publisher Games Workshop has not forged a partnership agreement with Grim & Perilous Studios, makers of the wildly-successful ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG. They have not announced their intention to release a tabletop roleplaying game called The Age of Sigmar: The RPG.

In Planescape Lite…err, The Age of Sigmar: The RPG players take upon the roles of the venerated Stormblast Immortals and allies of the Truly Immortal Spheres to combat the Neverchosen and the lords of Dogtown. Become one with the Ultra Alliance; enjoy playing the heroically-proportioned and predominantly male Superultrahypermarines, agents of the alt-right in a never-ending battle to defeat all that was loved about the Old World. Become one with the A-e-i-o-u-and-sometimes-y-lves, becoming either an louche and supercilious dendrophile or an edgy, dismissing Dork Elf. Bro’ out with Uncle Siggy’s mohawk-headed stepchildren, the Dwarven Steamhead Fig Newtonslayers: walking Scottish anachronisms who wear little more than a loincloth because in the far-flung future of fantasy SPAAAAACE!, there is little room for modesty and METAL reigns supreme.

Work is now underway on the core set for The Age of Sigmar: The RPG, which introduces the characters and setting as it establishes core rules and themes. It launches on Kickstarter on April 1st. All products in the series will run using Pogs, first launched in the 17th century by Japanese tabletop gamers tired of Shogi and later popularized in the 90’s by American game makers. Use your Stormblast Slammer to eradicate the farces of Chaos.

I wonder how many takes it took before that guy could speak his lines without busting up? 1? 1 and a half?

Oh snap!

But for real: some people create yet another OSR rehash of AD&D. Others raise a middle finger to Games Workshop's lawyers and make something new, bold and financially successful. As of today, ZWEIHANDER has raised over $95k, and the book isn't even in print yet.

But you are right: a publicly traded company will always outdo me, you and the rest of the home brew industry because GW has virtually unlimited resources.

As for me? I'm just a level 40 digital marketing director/dad who successfully launched his first tabletop RPG and ended up on Forbes.com.

And for all the backers enjoying the game!

Kickstarter, when done honestly, is fantastic for getting products to people who might never had enjoyed them with traditional funding.
