Flashing Blades

Flashing Blades is a role-playing game published by Fantasy Games Unlimited in 1984.

Description

Flashing Blades is a 17th-century swashbuckling system.[1] PCs choose a character class (soldier, gentleman, rogue. etc.) and assign skill points to create characters.[1] Gain and loss of social status is very important.[1] The "Rogues, Gentlemen, Soldiers and Noblemen" book (48 pages) covers character creation, combat, and campaigns; a second book (16 pages) includes three miniscenarios.[1] The game includes a GM's screen.[1]

Publication history
