  • Flashing Blades RPG Ep. 74
    Oct 31 2024

    En garde! Yes, this time we are investigating the worlds of 17th Century Europe and asking, “is this the true mode of all fantasy role-playing high-adventure?”

    We are joined by Graham Kinniburgh, who tells us about his Oscar night triumph with An Irish Goodbye and what it was like being at The Battle of the Bastards.

    He is adding The Three Musketeers to Appendix G.

    In the Zoom of Role-Playing rambling we talk about Flashing Blades. You can read more from the author, Mark Pettigrew, in this interview.

    We also cover En Garde!, 17th Century Minimalist, Seventh Sea, and Barbarians of Lumuria.
