CB_Front_covJust released by Beyond Belief Games in both print and PDF format, Crimson Blades is an old-school, dark fantasy RPG. Beyond Belief claims the rules are familiar, yet stand on their own two feet. The game has six playable classes: Barbarian, Fighter, Mountebank, Sorcerer and Thief plus the inhuman Dendrelyssi, and the NPC class Royal Redeemer. The book even includes an introductory setting.

You can snag the PDF for $2.50, and the print book for $12.50. It sounds pretty interesting, and the cover was nice enough to catch my eye. At those prices, I think it’s worth the risk of trying a new system.
