Latest Updates from Our Project:

August 30 - Video Series #2.5 on Main Gauche from Garblag Games
over 5 years ago – Thu, Aug 30, 2018 at 04:38:20 PM

Dear cultists,

As mentioned before, we are sponsoring Garblag Games' production of "There's Something About Marie", the adventure found in the back of MAIN GAUCHE.

Pete and the gang also do a little 'after show' episode, which is a nice touch. They talk about what they like about #ZweihanderRPG, the opportunities within the system and what's up with their next game. Check it out!

In the meanwhile, don't sleep on the Kickstarter - as only 6 days remain!

We are getting ever closer to our final Stretch Goals: 

  • $60k - Gamemaster's Notebook
  • $63k - Systems Resource Document
  • $70k - Revised All-In-One Cards
  • $75k - ZWEIHANDER & MAIN GAUCHE leather-bound special editions

Help us spread the word on social media about MAIN GAUCHE, where a new realm of chaos awaits!

Praise the Purple Prince,

ps - were we to change one thing about the Kickstarter that would change your minds about committing to a higher pledge level, what would that be? Let us know in the comments below.

August 30 - Dejan Mandic Kickstarter-exclusive cover unlocked!
over 5 years ago – Thu, Aug 30, 2018 at 02:26:19 PM

Dear cultists,

You did it! 

We previously had Dejan do a MAIN GAUCHE alternative cover for Kickstarter that was solely exclusive, never to be printed again. And now, he's back!

Inspired by Les Edward's cover

You will be able to select the cover of your MAIN GAUCHE book during survey time - either Ken Duquet's beautifully chaotic cover, or Dejan Mandic's (still WIP). Alternatively, you can Add-On an additional copy of MAIN GAUCHE of either cover to your pledge for +$55. This wrap-around cover will be inspired by the original chaos cover by Les Edwards. Read more here about the original artwork.

You need only choose either the original Ken Duquet cover – or the Kickstarter exclusive cover by Dejan Mandic – at the time that MAIN GAUCHE surveys are sent out. Please note that there will never be another print run of this exclusive cover, nor will it be made available as POD on DriveThruRPG.

Praise the Purple Prince,

 ps - only 6 days left for our Kickstarter! Help us spread the word.

August 28 - New Stretch Goals Announced!
over 5 years ago – Tue, Aug 28, 2018 at 07:50:44 PM

Dear cultists,

We've heard the rumblings in the oculus. And we're listening. With that, we've got two new Stretch Goals to share out today:

$60K STRETCH GOAL (LOCKED) - GAMEMASTER'S NOTEBOOK

Gamemasters! Are you running grim & perilous adventures, but tired of having to scratch together your own system to track a variety of tense situations for players? Then prepare yourself with a new Add-On: the 40-page Gamemaster's Notebook!

Designed to be used by Gamemasters to annotate different kinds of encounters, there are multiple sheets inside to aid you as you run a game of ZWEIHÄNDER. Printed in black & white and printed in softcover format, you can write in the book as-is, tear the pages out along the spine to put into plastic protector sheets or print out as needed. Our Gamemaster's Notebook includes:

  • Trackers for Chase Scene events
  • Trackers for Combat Encounters
  • Trackers for Social Intrigue events
  • Trackers for Wilderness Travel events
  • Houserule & Notes section

You need only add +$6.00 to your pledge level to pick up the physical+pdf edition.

$70K STRETCH GOAL (LOCKED) - REVISED ALL-IN-ONE CARD SET

You asked. We listened.

Now you can get all 448 Monster, Arcane, Divine and Daemonic Magick cards with this revised set as an Add-On. This entire deck is color blind-friendly. Note that Daemonic Cards are not yet lain out, but will be included in this deck.

We estimate a total of 448 cards for this pack, which you need only add +$85 to your pledge level to pick up the physical+pdf edition.

Praise the Purple Prince,

ps - Zweihänder is undergoing some hardcore grammatical fixes and edits, prior to our second print run. This will solve for all of the proofing errors, and a better table of contents.  

August 27 - Video Series #2 on Main Gauche from Garblag Games
over 5 years ago – Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 08:03:04 PM

Dear cultists,

As mentioned before, we are sponsoring Garblag Games' production of "There's Something About Marie", the adventure found in the back of MAIN GAUCHE.

You can watch the second of the four part series now over on their channel:

In the meanwhile, don't sleep on the Kickstarter - as only 9 days remain! We are getting ever closer to our final Stretch Goals:

  • a MAIN GAUCHE alternative cover inspired by The Realms of Chaos: Lost & The Damned
  • MAIN GAUCHE Systems Resource Document
  • ZWEIHANDER & MAIN GAUCHE leather-bound special editions

Help us spread the word on social media about MAIN GAUCHE, where a new realm of chaos awaits!

Praise the Purple Prince,

ps - When in a pinch, use a Torch in combat for the Immolate Quality: After a foe is struck with a weapon of this Quality, they must succeed at a Coordination Test or be set On Fire. The weapon is immediately extinguished after a successful attack, until relit.
