Trump Tariffs and the impact on ZWEIHANDER RPG Hey gang, Daniel here. Many of you have probably heard by now—the new Trump tariffs have slammed nearly every TTRPG out there, and yeah, that includes us. The 54% tariff is no joke, and it’s going to have a real effect on future ZWEIHÄNDER projects.

I spoke with nearly two dozen creatives and publishers in the tabletop industry today. It's bad. It's real bad.

Daniel here. These tariffs are highly destructive to the tabletop RPG and board game industry. I've spoken to a few folks today about what they are trying to do for products produced in countries with retaliatory tariffs already on the water, as well as considerations for future production.

F.A.T.A.L. 2nd Edition Comes To ZWEIHANDER RPG! We ran a ttrpg actual play of the early alpha on YouTube. Link in the comments 👇

always remember:

Hey gang, Daniel here. It's time for our monthly ZWEIHANDER Reforged Edition update from Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/zwe...

This is what I work on when Im procrastinating instead of working on @zweihanderrpg.bsky.social

RPG tip from the archive: Build your own 5e from the sources that bring you the coolest options for your game. #dnd #ttrpg

With another D&D AI blunder from Chris Cox, you should 💯 be aware that the DM Guild terms & conditions are broad enough to allow Hasbro to train their AI models on your Dungeons & Dragons ttrpg writing. Don't blame WoTC. Tell Hasbro its unacceptable. Link in comments 👇🏻

Spotted in the wild at Tabletop Games and Hobby in Overland Park, Kansas.

10% tarriffs on Chinese goods were terrible. 20% tariffs will kill multiple tabletop RPG and games companies, large and small. Even passing along the cost to the consumer in the short term (who are already challenged by rising grocery and fuel costs) will result in layoffs. Buckle in.

It's time for another ZWEIHANDER RPG Reforged Kickstarter Update! We are closing in at the finish line for the book layouts. Link in the comments 👇

I will never not laugh at seeing books using exclusively AI art being sold at the same price point as books that have paid artists The mask slips a bit. It is and always will be for these people a way to make a quick buck at the expense of others. I. Don’t. Support. AI. Slop.

DEAR TTRPG FAM, It's Valentine's Day, so we made you a card for your friends and loved ones. 🖤 Team ZWEIHANDER (art by Ken Duquet)

Just tossing this back out into the universe just in case! If you know of any trans creators with ZQ or ZM projects, shout them out!

The ZWEIHANDER Fantasy Horror RPG Starter Kit is officially sold out! All 15,000 copies are now gone, and we don't anticipate reprinting it. Once we complete Reforged Edition, though, we will bring a new ZWEIHANDER Reforged Edition Starter Kit to Kickstarter in the latter half of 2025.

Today, we continue our discussion about "Wish" in with 5E co-lead designer, Mike Mearls! And once that discussion is complete, I ask Mike a question that has fueled endless internet speculation since 2019: Why did Mike leave D&D? youtu.be/4VUnNkOoasA

In Dungeons & Dragons (any edition), how many rounds do you feel it should take to defeat goes equal to the power level of a standard party?

TTRPG books could learn from board games. Let's talk about it.

We love TTRPG spell cards. We love them so much that our graphic designer, Eric Alsandor, laid them out inside the book. That means you can print the PDF and cut them out. All 210 of them. This, and more, in our latest ZWEIHANDER Reforged Edition Kickstarter update. Link in comments:
