Hey gang,

Daniel here. I wanted to let you know about a significant change coming to this Kickstarter account.

From its humble beginnings, ZWEIHÄNDER has grown beyond a game that I wrote into one supported by many people. Team ZWEIHÄNDER extends from friends who join me every Wednesday to playtest to our freelance artists, editors, UX designers, and producers across the world.

To more appropriately reflect this team aspect, Kickstarter will work with me to change the name of the account from Daniel Fox to Zweihander RPG. Here’s what it impacts:

  1. Our vanity URL has changed to https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/zweihander 
  2. Our new name on Kickstarter will be Zweihander RPG

We will be working diligently over the next 24 hours to change all old links across Zweihander-related social channels to reflect the new vanity URL.

Thank you for your support of our little grim & perilous game. We’re so proud to have you along with us for this wild ride. 2022 is going to will be incredible, and we cannot wait to show you more in the coming months.


Cheers,

Daniel D. Fox

August Update
over 2 years ago – Mon, Sep 27, 2021 at 02:55:02 PM

Hello friends,

Have we got news to share! The Flames of Freedom books made it to our fulfillment center last week.

At the same time, most of the other items (maps, coins, dice…) were lovingly packed up and delivered to the same center by our team. The last item we are still waiting for is the game master screens, which are scheduled to arrive within a few short days.

Maps galore!
Coins & dice (nearly 300 lbs!)
All loaded up for a crosstown delivery to our fulfilment partner

Our first wave of ~300 books actually went out on Friday, so if you backed at the “Book + PDF” level, be sure to keep an eye on your mail! We have already heard from the few first backers whose books have arrived.

First wave of books only palletized and ready for shipping

The final wave of shipments will be going out as soon as the screens make it to us – hopefully this week. We will keep you updated!


Cheers.

Our next Kickstarter: Announcing Blackbirds RPG!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Sep 23, 2021 at 12:10:38 AM

Hello friends,

We have some very different news to share today:

Our team is proud to announce the Kickstarter for Ryan Verniere’s BLACKBIRDS RPG, launching on September 15! We are beyond excited for you all to discover this all-new, horrific dark fantasy world Powered By Zweihander.

Be sure to follow the Kickstarter here so you don’t miss any updates. (Trust us, you don’t want to miss them.)

And if you really can’t wait until the 15th, here is a sneak peek:

Twelve years of war have ravaged the kingdoms of Erebos, where the battle to decide the fate of all was waged … and lost. A cabal of power-hungry Oligarchs murdered the gods and stole their divinity, their blasphemous acts rending the very fabric of reality, drowning the world in unfettered magic, and upending the natural order. Soon, they will return to the mortal realm, intent on reshaping it in their image. As the lights of civilization begin to fade, the eyes of the world turn to Erebos – unaware that the shadow that looms over all is cast from within Heaven itself.

The BLACKBIRDS RPG is a hybrid of old-school crunch and modern storytelling systems, offering cinematic moments to players of all skill levels. Play as one of the eponymous Blackbirds: outcasts and would-be heroes fated to fight against the Oligarchs. Within its tome, you will find everything you need to survive the world of BLACKBIRDS.

BLACKBIRDS RPG is a horrific dark fantasy tabletop role-playing game, based on the award-winning ZWEIHANDER RPG.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Cheers,
