Community-style orientation

Norms, learning paths, and how to ask without wrecking the thread

Zweihander.org is for people who show up in forums, Discords, and local circles around grimdark d100 play: spoiler windows, critique manners, newbie stickies, and the difference between a rules channel and a fiction channel. Orientation for community practice—we are not a registered nonprofit, not the trademark office, and not a storefront.

Start with Getting Started, skim the Guides hub, or browse Resources when you need outbound references like Zweihänder Wikipedia.

What this desk is for

Community spaces fail the same way: unmarked spoilers, pile-ons instead of critique, and rules fights that drown newcomers. We write short habits for those failure modes.

Start with public doors. r/ZweihanderRPG and Zweihänder on Wikipedia help with lineage; netiquette basics still apply when the tone goes grim.

Label spoilers. Separate crunch questions from story talk. Escalate to mods instead of performing the fight.

Guides, Glossary, and Resources go deeper. Sibling domains cover thin reference, edition migration, channel literacy, and powered-by publishing when your question is not really about community practice.

Norms first

Spoiler windows, critique manners, and room for both crunch and fiction—written before the first argument.

How to ask

Open the glossary when channel jargon or actual-play etiquette confuses a newcomer.

Learning doors

Starting paths and discussion pointers on the community page.

How we write

We write like a community steward: concrete norms, honest outbound doors, zero invented membership dues or charity claims.

Industry blogs such as the DriveThruRPG blog show publishing trends—they are not table law or org bylaws. Email [email protected]; see Contact and About.
