So, I've been sitting on this one for a looong time. Some of the information has been leaked out from my personal Facebook, and I've teased a few things here and there on RPG Pub. But now, the muzzle has been removed - which means it's time to talk about a super big announcement for Zweihander and the rest of the crew at Grim & Perilous Studios.
(Hoping the mods are okay with this, so that it doesn't come off as 'shilling'. Let me know otherwise and I can adjust the post)
I am incredibly proud to announce that the tabletop RPG books "ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG" and "MAIN GAUCHE" will be joining the annals of authors such as Exploding Kittens, The Oatmeal, Roger Ebert, The Boondocks, Calvin and Hobbes, FoxTrot, Doonsbury, The Far Side, Garfield and many, many others as a publication of Andrews McMeel Universal! This will be AMU's first foray into the tabletop RPG industry, with these two books at the fore of this new line of business.

What's this mean in the bigger scheme of things? Scale and reach beyond DriveThruRPG into the "real world" of RPG publishing. This means that Zweihander Grim & Perilous RPG pre-orders are available (RIGHT NOW!) on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and IndieBound. GTS distribution will follow in February (so you can order it at your local brick & mortar), and Amazon International will follow soon thereafter.
From its infancy as a homebrew on Strike to Stun, to a wildly successful Kickstarter and culminating in two ENnies for Best Game and Product of the Year, it's been a crazy past two years. This marks a sea change for us as a publishing company. That means contracts, marketing budgets and more. Plus, we are now at a level of scale that meets other medium-sized tabletop role-playing game publishers. And to boot, Zweihander Grim & Perilous RPG is already ranked #1 in New Releases in the Pathfinder Games and Warhammer Games categories on Amazon (including #3 in Dungeons and Dragons games)
Thank you to all Warhammer Fantasy fans for believing in us over these long years. You all helped us get to this goal, and we'll continue working to exceed expectations as the years come. Hope you'll continue to follow along in conversations about Zweihander, Main Gauche, Tetsubo Grim & Perilous, Queen of Embers and a whole lot more in our pipeline for 2019/2020.
