I think it's been long enough that I forgot I don't like Munchkin, and want to play Munchkin.
I'm sure at least one of these has been tried/made before...
That middle one is some anime shit.
It's a bullpup design sword
Top left somewhat resembles a real life technique called half-swording.
True, but no one would ever put a handle there. At least not jutting out to the side like that.
100% on that Zweihander, the double handle hilt move the center of balance back which is ideal, though admittedly not as good as simply just a longer handle.
I think I'm going to steal that middle design for my Numenera campaign
I'd pay to watch the top-right fight.
Its like fighting with a giant potato peeler
> zweihander
Somebody show this to Trudy & Doug of Oglaf.
Swords Comic too, I'm sure they could make one of these work.
I never thought of bullpup swords. Genius Ai. Genius.
top right is definitely something you'd see in a stupid 70s sci-fi movie as an alien's traditional duelling weapon.
It would make for an interesting duel though. Can you maneuver the cutting part of the blade to somewhere dangerous while your opponent controls their handle?
Reminds me of Michael Jackson's Beat It, where the two gang leaders have one wrist tied together and their switchblades in their other hand.
Top left would have really good tip control and thrust-ability.
That's because it's just a weird spear
It's a weird spear with a dangerous cutting blade near the wielder. All the danger of a long sword blade for the user, without the ability to use it for cutting or slashing because of the handle.
Hmm. You have a good point there.
Yeah it's like halfgrip but you don't need to grab the blade
I love that the hands in the bottom center have too many fingers. 🤌
They all have too many fingers!
I hadn’t noticed that! I zoomed in and it’s true! 🤣
Lower center one was a tennis racket in the late 90s iirc.
Double handed bastard sword.
Now try reverse grip!
Bottom left: Empire greatswords vibe/stance.
