25 years after the first edition was released by Iron Crown Enterprises, Bladestorm returns in a completely redesigned, corrected, colorized and expanded Second Edition.

The fast paced rules enable quick battles between any kind of forces gamers wish to create. Regular troops, heroes, monsters, spell users, standard bearers, units, vehicles, musicians, leaders; if it's a miniature, it can be turned into a Bladestorm combatant!

Base your hero on one of 16 fantasy races and equip weapons and armor from more than 60 weapon and natural attacks. Spell users choose from 222 magic spells within the reknown Rolemaster realms of Channeling, Essence and Mentalism.

With Bladestorm Second Edition you can get even more out of your combatants by assigning one of 14 professions to create a unique hero. More than 26 skills can be developed during the competitive campaign game. 

10 scenarios with random encounters and plenty of loot options await the arrival of daring adventurers. Roll the dice while visiting the hiring halls and contract any one of more than 80 mercenaries...if you can afford them. Gather loot from your enemies, from chests and bosses and use the item creation system to uncover unspeakable artefacts. 

Bladestorm Second Edition is accompanied by the free and easy to use Bladestorm Calculator that lets you design and organize your forces with the click of a button. Start the adventure today with 14 archetype characters that can be played out-of-the-box.

Do you allow 3rd party releases to be posted and sold on DTRPG?

DriveThruRPG ships worldwide as far as I know. They choose the printing facility closest to you for fulfillment. Unfortunately I do not know if they have a facility in Canada under contract.

This is hands down the best fantasy skirmish rules ever done, and I have tried just about all of them. It works for any setting, its quick, easy, comprehensive, and has a great way of introducing rules.

My only issue is that this version needs a bit of errata in regards to unit construction, but hopefully that gets fixed soon.

Is this a skirmish game or a standard FRPG?

Bladestorm is a skirmish game which is inspired by the Rolemaster FRPG. Playing under the standard rules offers a lot of possibilities especially once you upgrade a regular combatant with a profession. When using professions and skills, your games will already benefit from a touch of role playing. If you wish, you can add more FRPG concepts by adding maneuvers and fumbles from the optional rules and raising stats in between campaign games. The game scales with your favorite way to run a tabletop game.

The print on demand version is currently being put together. So yes, that's coming up next. The PDF is optimized for webview.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
