Sword Weirdos is the fantasy sequel to the surprisingly popular Space Weirdos. "When will you write a fantasy version?" people asked. So I did. Sword Weirdos is a skirmish wargame that allows you to build stats for just about any fantasy or historical model in your collection. Your model's class and weapons determine its special abilities. With 26 classes and 54 weapons and other pieces of equipment to choose from the possibilities are...a lot. I'm not that great with math.

You’re wondering what makes Sword Weirdos different from other games. Not much! It takes what I like from other games and mashes it all together.

  • Low model count: 5-10 models or so for each side.
  • Use any fantasy/historical minis you have.
  • Short but comprehensive. Everything in one 24 page zine.
  • Minimal tokens, but still a few because I like them.
  • No tape measures or rulers, all movement and ranges are measured with 5” sticks.
  • Uses all your RPG dice (except the d20, d20's get enough love) because dice are fun.
  • A points system, but you shouldn’t worry about it too much.
  • Alternating activations, opposed rolls, Maneuver Points, and random tables mean everyone is involved and rolling dice all the time.

Also includes:

  • A separate 4-page solo rules document. 
  • A pdf with tokens, hobby advice, and a warband sheet. 

If you like minis games but giant rulebooks turn you off or seem intimidating, maybe give this a shot.

Picked this up after getting Space Weirdos. Great game. However, is there way to invert the color on the tokens to make it more printer friendly?

just picked this up, though happened to be on DriveThru. Looks really great and will likely be my first attempt at a skirmish game (as a solo player, that addition is awesome to see.)
Wondering about plans to create a "between" skirmishes supplement? overland exploration, growing the band, etc? either way, seems awesome, excited to try it out

I really loved Space Weirdos and was very pleased with how fun Sword Weirdos was! If you enjoy a skirmish game with a twist of action/adventure movie (rather than war documentary) then you'll really enjoy the Weirdos-games!

Awesome! Can't wait for the solo rules!

After playing a ton of Space Weirdos with my kids, this was a mandatory buy.  Read through the rules and created a warband tonight, and I love what I'm seeing so far!

Yes, so excited for this!!
