18. Zweihander: Actual Play (1/4)

At 667 pages of hardcover beauty, Zweihander doesn't mess around. The system is so complex and gigantic we just knew we couldn't look at it the same way we did all the others. In the first episode of our show's new format, we dive head first into a world of grim and perilous humanity, starting with a light hearted wedding, before getting into a whole lot of dark fantasy.

Welcome to Cantrips and Coffee, where each month we roast up a fresh batch of episodes on different tabletop roleplaying games. In our "anything but D&D" format, we explore different systems and review them to help you decide if they're worth your time and money. This is part 1 of 4 actual play episodes, and part 2 will premier in two weeks time. Join us next week for our espresso episode, where we'll look into different media that will help you better understand Zweihander, by Grim and Perilous Studios.
