La

de boite sont restées en bon état).
Du dos de la boite:
It was a question of
honor, and honor was always foremost in the minds of the men who strode
through the age of the Sun King. A deserted courtyard on the edge of
Paris was the stage on which they met with... FLASHING BLADES.
A
complete role playing game set in the era of the Three Musketeers. A
world in which a man's courage and ambition knew no bounds. It was a
time of adventure and of intrigue in which the rival interests of King
and Cardinal played a deadly game across France and all of Europe.
Rules
are included to cover character creation and skills, secrets and
advantages, combat careers, economics, military campaigns and character
involvement, politics and social standing. Detailed background sections
provide a view of the political climate, laws, religion, customs,
lifestyles, and a total 'feel' for the period. The introductory
adventures are designed to demonstrate a wide variety of adventure
styles possible within this popular genre as they deal with out-and-out
combat, intrigue, international politics, and the social picture.
Be
prepared to be '...Born with the gift of laughter and the sense that
the world was mad,' as was Scaramouche in Sabitini's novel. It's all
for one and one for all as adventure and danger await just beyond the
next bend in the road.
