So if this has new rules, new content, and a revised layout (thank god, the "tome" is densely written), does it replace the core rules? I'm interested in the new content, but not in buying the game a second time when I already have both a players handbook and the full core book.

I'm considering getting the physical starter set and was wondering if there are any plans for limited, more narrow focused expansions to it specifically (as opposed to the full RPG supplements). I'm referring perhaps to, for example, a separately purchaseable pack of additional professions updated to the new rules and in the same format as those in the starter for additional variety.

Is one of the Full Tankard maps supposed to have labels?

Hi David, you can indeed! Zweihander RPG Fantasy Horror Starter Kit is now available at your FLGS, or barring that, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target in-store or online.

So far I'm liking what I see.
I would have liked an example character or more explanations on professions.
I tried to roll a sellsword, but it's not clear if I get all three talents automatically or only the professional trait.
It says:
'Looking at your Profession Folio, unlock its Professional Trait by writing its effects down on the third page under Talents & Traits:'
So that would mean: No, don't add the Talents. But why are they even mentioned on the Portfolio Folio Card?
After some reading I found it on page 61 under 'Unlock New Abilities'. It would have been better to at least write a small sentence on 'Step 1: Your profession'.

First impressions of the rule changes (not a review because it doesn’t encompass the tools or adventure provided, nor utility for new players):

I’m glad the fortune system from FoF (trading back and forth) is official for Zwei now. (We were already using it)

Not a fan of how much stronger PCs are. They feel far too heroic from the start. We enjoyed earning that status, which set Zwei apart from games like D&D.

The conciseness of the rules is much better.

Careers having a stat boost is cool, but it’s not truly backwards compatible if the RCR and MG careers don’t have stat boots listed.

New ancestries are cool. Removing ancestry stat modifiers was weird but fine. (ogres aren’t strong?) However it does contribute to the players being too strong because while bonuses were moved to upbringing and career, penalties were seemingly removed entirely.

I’m unlikely to use most of this starter kit’s content. (and likely would not...See more

I'm also disappointed in the direction of the changes. The game feels less grim and perilous and more like d100 D&D.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
