Weird War (also known as Weird War II/Weird War 2/Weird Wars) is a Horror role-playing game set during World War Two produced by Pinnacle Entertainment Group, which uses the D20 System. In it, the players play as Allied Soldiers during the Second World War.

Much like D20 Modern, there does exist a supernatural element to the setting, and so players can expect to face (and drive) haunted vehicles, fight mutant Nazi soldiers and investigate the supernatural. Heroes who face the supernatural often can even be offered membership in the Office of Supernatural Investigations (OSI), which then allows them to take the OSI Chaplain and OSI Adept Prestige Classes (which grant access to Divine and Arcane Magic respectively). Magic is slightly different in this setting, being cast by means of Runes and causing Fatigue to the caster.

Magic does not lie in the hands of the players alone- Hitler and his Nazi's have their own magic-users; Blood Mages, who can be amongst the toughest foes the players will face.

Blood Mages are essentially Adepts of Evil Alignment, which grants them the power to draw upon the 'innate evil' of places such as Death Camps and battlefields. Because the only difference between a Blood Mage and an Adept is Alignment, it is possible to play an Allied Blood Mage, though not recommended, as both the OSI and the Sons of Solomon (a secret organization devoted to hiding the supernatural) will come after them if they are discovered.

Magic is low-powered in this setting; Mages only receive spells of up to 6th level, and the only offensive powers in their arsenal are Magic Missile and Cloudkill (which blend in better with the chaos of the battlefield, mimicing bullets and clouds of poison gas respectively).

The books in the setting are:

Blood on the Rhine- the Corebook

Afrika Korpse- Sourcebook for Africa and Egypt

Dead From Above- Sourcebook for aircraft and several flying monsters

Horrors of Weird War Two- Beastiary, expanding the list of monsters from Blood on the Rhine and the various Sourcebooks

Land of the Rising Dead- Sourcebook for the Pacific Theatre

Hell in the Hedgerows- Adventure book, containing three adventures

Hell Freezes Over- Sourcebook for the Russian Front
