Kriegsmesser Zine
Kriegsmesser is a tabletop RPG zine that was created for #zinequest 2021. It was inspired by history (cca. 1453-1630) and roleplaying games named after medieval weapons. Its focus are 36 backgrounds compatible with Troika by Melsonian Arts Council, but it comes with a set of custom rules and can be played standalone. Also includes some essays, GM tools, random tables, rules for horrible injuries, recommended media and a bunch of historical woodcut art. What is it not? It's not a historical game as such, it's fairly anachronistic and sparse on detail. It is not high fantasy with evil gods and orcs and wizards and pirate elves on lizard mounts.[Print copies are now sold out.]
