Sword Weirdos

Sword Weirdos is a fast-paced, low-model-count (5-10 miniatures) miniature agnostic fantasy skirmish wargame. As a 24-page zine, it features customizable warbands, 26 classes, 54 weapons/equipment, and uses 5-inch sticks for movement and RPG dice for combat.

Key Features and Mechanics:

  • System: A “system agnostic” game allowing players to use any figures from their collection (e.g., D&D or Age of Sigmar), focusing on 3-10 models per side.
  • Rules: Features alternating activations, opposed dice rolls for combat, and maneuver points to trigger special abilities.
  • Movement: Uses 5-inch sticks for all ranges and movements instead of tape measures.
  • Combat: Uses RPG dice to represent model attributes (speed, defense, might, willpower), where higher rolls typically win.
  • Customization: Features a highly detailed weapon and class system, with specific properties for each weapon type.
  • Solo Play: Includes a 4-page section for solitaire gaming.

    The game emphasizes “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG) and is designed for a 2×2 or 3×3 foot playing area. It is the fantasy sequel to the popular Space Weirdos
