In May 2023 we presented the Honor + Intrigue Quick Deal featuring Honor + Intrigue, the RPG of cinematic swashbuckling action from Basic Action Games. In the Baroque Era of an alternate 17th Century Europe, highwaymen menace the coach-roads, musketeers protect the king, and buccaneers cross swords on the high seas. Amid tangled webs of intrigue friends become betrayers – enemies make fleeting allies – rival nobles who smile cordially at court plot in secret – and high-flying heroes laugh at danger, swing into action, and meet foes with flashing steel and a sharp tongue.
Based on the simple and fast-playing Barbarians of Lemuria system, Honor + Intrigue is a standalone game with rules for dueling (in many unique fencing styles), social combat, black powder weapons, alchemy, sorcery, and Fortune points that help you beat overwhelming odds. You can swing from a tapestry, crash through the window, lunge at your enemy, and parry his attack all in a single turn!
This Quick Deal had everything you need to careen through headlong adventures across 17C Europe. There were nine titles in our Honorable Collection (retail value $52) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the complete Honor + Intrigue core rulebook (previously presented in our March 2014 Fantastic Valor Bundle); the rules expansion The Duelist’s Guide; four intriguing adventures – Escape From Castle Island, The Lark & The Nightingale: A Highwayman’s Tale, The Sorcerer of Volupa, and Van Ryan’s Vault; the first installment in the Intriguing Options series of rules expansions, Volume 1: Rules + Story; and the Honor + Intrigue GM Screen Inserts and Swashbuckling Stand-Ups.
