Good classic game. Really sets players as part of society rather than just Murder Hobos.

Happy to recommend

Very good game. It really sets the tone. A wonderful combat system, not very complicated but full of flavour. The adventures, also available on drivetruRPG are real little gems. So sad it was not continued. The game would need revamping and a second edition. I think it would be a hit. Buy it, play it. You won't regret.

Flashing Blades is a lovely recreation of the 17th Century France of the Three Musketeers and the Man in the Iron Mask. The system is essentially a relative of the BRP system used in Cthulhu and RuneQuest, but using a d20 rather than d100. The duelling system adds a few twists to make it better reflect duelling between those of siferig styles. The basic game comes with a good scenario and the adventures produced for the game, which I guess are also here on DriveThru are excellent. If you like swashbuckling with a French accent then this is the game to get.

Wow...Flashing Blades. ain't played this since...well, since a long time (yeah, I'm old, so what), actually a very comprehensive combat system, very easily converted to the D20 system for a more intricate dueling mechanic for those interested...
