Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

After a long absence, I'm diving back in to Flashing Blades.  In fact, thanks to the Captain Alatriste books, I'm writing a version to change the setting from Paris/France to Madrid/Spain. 

I belatedly became aware that Yahoo Groups had a Flashing Blades group.  Some game groups I was a part of moved their stuff somewhere else when Yahoo pulled the rug out from under everybody, but I can't find anything from Flashing Blades.  Anyone have any ideas?  I'm always on the lookout for alternate rules, or opinions on some of the vaguer rules.

Welcome to the club!

The FRUA and Gamma World groups I was part of are gone as well and both of those predated Y-Groups buying out E-Groups.

Also all the Dr Who Storytelling Game files are gone along with that group. Wasnt actually a storytelling game in the RPG sense, was a conversion of the Barbarian Prince solo board game into a new format. Someone else did the same and has it ip on Drive-Thru. Drifter.

I am a big fan of Alatriste, and the Three Musketeers.  Back in the '90's, D&D had a suppliment called: HR 4, A Mighty Fortress, which set D&D in 16th & 17th century Earth.

It has some useful stuff like currency exchanges and  arious character archetypes.

That's cool; I've never heard of these historical D&D supplements before. 

And also, I'm still chapped that the latest (last?) Alatriste book wasn't translated into English.  Seriously - they translate the first 6, but not the 7th?  Argh.
