Reviewing the GMing section of Zweihander is hard because it covers so many different topics and it is so fucking long.

It is by far the most impressive section of the book from an … More [Review] Zweihander (WFR OSR) Pt. VIII; Matters of Governance
Besides wizards, the other major spellcasting profession in Zweihänder, as it was in the Olden time, is the Priestly class.

V; Barbarism & Unrelenting Savagery

I waded through … More [Review] Zweihander (WFRP retroclone) Pt. IV: Skullduggery and kicking people in the Face
