Does anyone have any experience with the Zweihander system?
Either played it or DM'd it?
I'm looking for a gritty, warhammer like, low magic system.
The PDF is only $20, but I wanted some opinions before I paid money.
It's literally a Warhammer Fantasy retroclone. If you've played WHF you already know what you're getting into right down to the ratcatcher job.

What >>53772886 said, although there are some differences. Personally I liked it, and I think it's a worthy successor to WFRP 2e.

I bought it. Now to read 700 pages on a screen.

Have fun, OP
Where could I find it?

They leaned a bit too much on sexual horror for the monsters. Orxs and Satyrs are chaotic rapists, that's their defining feature while WFRP they were their own things with their own threats and history.
>>53774370
Sure. But it isn't actually WFRP anon.

The system calls for you to randomly determine everything with a d100 including
>ability scores
>sex (trannies ok)
>height
>weight
>eye colour
>poverty tier
>background
>class
>job
>race
Apparently getting to choose your own is not grim and dark enough for the creators.

Quit shilling your knockoff, Dan.

It's a flavorless and poor copy of WHFRP 2e. This coming from someone initially very excited for it.
>>53772743
I'd rather Song of Swords. If I want to play WFRP 2e, I'll play WFRP 2e.

Sure when 4e comes out in a few years I'll play it. But isn't out yet.
I was pretty excited for it, but it's a generalized knock-off of WFRP2, except it fucks with the things that were good (Careers, etc.) and solves none of the issues or introduces none of the improvements Dark Heresy did to the core rules. The things it introduces are completwly unnecessary and some are actively detrimental, such as a fucking alignment track.
So yeah, no, just run WFRP2. It's superior, even with it's inconsistencies and many issues.
>>53777549
I've been reading through the rules, you can quite easily ignore the alignment track.
It takes several sessions to see any gain/loss based on it then it just gets reset.
How does it fuck careers, as far as I can tell it still has them.

You could roll everything in WFRP as far as I remember.
