ZWEIHANDER RPG: Player's Handbook

This book is a fantastic distillation of everything you need to play Zweihander, to create interesting characters and to learn the system. The information is well organized and it's easy to look up what you need to know while you are at the table. Beyond that, the print quality and binding are substantially better than other RPG books out there. If you are interested in Zweihander, or you just want to learn a new game, and you enjoy high-quality physical books, this has everything you're looking for.

Carrying on the grand tradition of WFRP 2E and streamlining it to current standards of play, Zweihander provides the perfect counterpoint to the once and future king of RPGs, D&D. Wizards of the Coast has the undeniable giant of the genre and they consistently put out top-flight material, but if you tire of the tropes of high fantasy and that particular style of RPG, then Zweihander's grim and gritty world may be right for you.Instead of a level system, Zweihander opts for a skill-based system. These skills are rooted in professions and careers your character is randomly assigned (at first). Random generation is at the heart of this RPG, and I would advise leaning into it! It really does spice up the experience.This Player's Handbook has 10 of the first 11 chapters of the corebook and is designed to give players a rulebook to reference during the character creation process and throughout play. Included are all the professions, spells, talents, backgrounds, and drawbacks you'll need to create a complex character, though nothing from Main Gauche (their first supplement) is included. The cover is sturdy and has a soft-touch matte finish that is extremely pleasing to handle. It comes equipped with a sown-in bookmark as well, like most European RPGs. The index, like the core rulebook, leaves a lot to be desired, however. Be prepared to leaf through the book to find particular items, at least until muscle memory sets in or you make notes/create tabs for the book.All in all, this RPG has become my favorite system for quite some time. My group's preferred system is 5e D&D, but they do love the actions, skills, and character building of Zweihander. Well done, Daniel Fox and crew!

Very well produced and put together, the Zweihander Player's Guide is exactly what it says on the tin: all the rules a player needs for Zweihander.

Massive book. Lots of options. Feels like Warhammer stripped down.

My son-in-law is going to love this book!!

I own all of the Zweihander RPG products. Lugging around Revised Core Rulebook was tough as a GM, and my players shared a couple of copies. I bought 4 Player's Handbooks. The Zweihander RPG PHB is the same size as the D&D Player's Handbook. When we got our copy we immediately tore the new character sheets out of the back of the book to photocopy. They're perforated so we could tear them out without ruining the book. I know the players will like that the mutant races are now moved to the front of the book for them and there's so much new artwork! <3

Bought this as a less weighty version of the Zweihänder Core Rule book (which is a wonderfully monstrous tome).Equally as beautiful as the Core book, only half the size.One of the most lavish table top roleplaying games on the market. Highly recommended.

Llegó bien el libro sin embargo la caja era demasiado grande
