Latest Updates from Our Project:

August 18 - Video Series #1 on Main Gauche from Garblag Games
over 5 years ago – Sat, Aug 18, 2018 at 03:44:57 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 first of the four part series now over on their channel:

In the meanwhile, don't sleep on the Kickstarter! You can now Add On the original limited edition of Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG by simply adding $65 to your pledge today!

Finally, we are getting ever closer to our next goal. Those who thought it may be related to Damage or Peril Condition Track are close to what it may be. Can you guess what it is? 

 Praise the Purple Prince,

ps - Focuses allow you to ignore your Peril Condition Track penalties to Skill Tests used in a way that's specific to the Focus

August 15 - New Stretch Goal up for grabs!
over 5 years ago – Thu, Aug 16, 2018 at 12:55:29 AM

Dear cultists,

If you know anything about us here at Grim & Perilous Studios, we like to produce inexpensive Gamemaster and player-friendly accessories: Character Folios, GM Playmats, GM Screens, Magick Cards and other fun stuff for play around the table.

In this same vein, we have decided to put up another mystery stretch goal! That's right - we've got something cooked up that was very last minute, but we didn't want there to be a massive gap between our $36k Stretch Goal to reprint Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG, and our mystery $56k Stretch Goal. So, our next goal to reach is $47k! And, here's a hint at what it may be...

Hmm...
Hmm...

So, can you guess what it is? Let us know in the comments below!

Praise the Purple Prince,

ps. whenever you Surprise a foe, remember to have a friend do a Takedown first, then make your Melee Attack while Charging at them prone on the ground while Surprised. That's 4D6 Fury Dice when dealing Damage! If you spend a Fortune Point, you can turn any one Fury Die into a face 6. If you spend 2 Fortune Points, take advantage of the Punishing Quality if you have it. That makes a total of almost 6D6 Fury Dice!

August 15 - On the nature of Daemonology
over 5 years ago – Wed, Aug 15, 2018 at 03:26:53 PM

Dear cultists,

Another peek behind the curtain of MAIN GAUCHE you ask? Absolutely! It includes:

  • Nature of Daemons - a treatise to forbidden gods and demons
  • Daemonic Aspects - how to treat Order & Chaos Alignments in a new way for Daemon-worshippers
  • Daemon Personified - a look at the Prince of Violence and his Aspects
  • Daemonic Gifts - powers earned by exemplifying the Aspect of the Prince of Violence Sanguine Legionnaire - an occultist to the Prince of Violence

Download the MAIN GAUCHE Sneak Peek (Daemonology) today, and embrace the left-handed path of MAIN GAUCHE - where chaos awaits!

Praise the Purple Prince,

ps. don't forget that weapons with the Reach Quality automatically provokes an Opportunity Attack as someone Charges or Runs into the Engagement you're standing in.

ps use this new rule for flaming arrows and other burning weapons: Using a bandage and a pot of oil, you grant the Immolate Quality to 9 ammunition (such as arrows or bolts), providing it doesn’t possess the Wytchfire or Gunpowder Qualities. In addition, you can grant the Immolate Quality to other melee and ranged weapon of the Throwing Quality, however it immediately gains the Ruined! Quality upon dealing Damage. Finally, in order to ignite the weapon during combat, you must spend 2 AP as a Special Action. Ignited weapons remain lit for 9 minutes before extinguishing.

August 12 - Liveplay of MAIN GAUCHE + Professions list updates
over 5 years ago – Tue, Aug 14, 2018 at 12:15:46 AM

Dear cultists,

We are excited to be teaming up with Pete and the gang at Garblag Games for a four-part liveplay series! They are going to give you a preview of what is to come in #MainGauche, using the ENnie award-winning d100 system #ZweihanderRPG. They will be running the adventure in the back of MAIN GAUCHE, called "There's Something About Marie". Check out the announcement by GM Pete here:

In other news: once we hit $40k, we will reveal all the new Professions for MAIN GAUCHE, including the four we are working on that we've added due to the tremendous success of the Kickstarter!

Help us get to that goal by increasing your pledge for product you will want to get your hands on. Remember: all Add Ons, the MAIN GAUCHE offset and ZWEIHÄNDER offset reprint will only be offered during Kickstarter at its least inexpensive price.

Once we bring up post-Kickstarter backing, all books and Add Ons will all be priced at MSRP.

Please help spread the word about this Kickstarter on social media by using these hashtags: #MainGauche #ZweihanderRPG

Praise the Purple Prince,

ps. here's another tip: Assist another Character during combat as a Reaction for 1AP. It's a fun house rule we have been using that you should use, too!
