The Paragon Blade pre-order
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.
Gather your wits, your allies, and your blade!
You have three key advantages in your quest, three boons that see you through the perils that await.
First, you’re accompanied by a trusty Companion – a wise mentor, a stalwart servant or a cryptic ally. You may fight alone, but your Companion travels with you, offering sage counsel and assistance.
Second, you wield a relic from the dark days of old, a treacherous artefact of terrible power. If your relic falls into the wrong hands, it would be a disaster – but you have the strength and courage to use its powers for good ends.
Third, you’re a hero of great skill and insight. You’ll read the riddle of this broken world and battle evil in all its many forms.
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.
