The Paragon Blade

Enter a realm of powers and perils!

In The Paragon Blade, you play a hero in a fantastical land, still scarred by the evil of the fallen Hellbound Empire. Mystery and magic collide in tales of conspiratorial wizards, monstrous foes, and arcane intrigue.

One Game Master, One Player

The Paragon Blade retunes, rebuilds and reenvisions the acclaimed GUMSHOE investigative rules set for one player and one GM – the GUMSHOE One-2-One system. Together you create a story that evokes classic tales of swords and sorcery.

The Paragon Blade includes all the rules you need to play, plus a detailed approach to building your own heroes and quests. It also features three sample protagonists, each with an accompanying adventure.

Three Heroes, Three Quests

Features:
• In the wilderness beyond the Gloamwood, barbarian hero Conn the Unslain must race against time to seek a cure for a demonic curse in Heart of the Beast!
• Magic is considered a crime in the Empire of Hekte – so Aletheia the Scholar must conceal her sorcery from her father the magistrate while helping him investigate the mystery of The Isle of Death.
• Mysterious thief Puc is master of the shadows in the great city of Tyros Ashem, and must steal a deadly plague jar in The Thief of Souls, before a necromantic cult unleashes it and brings about the end of the world.
