Fortunate Blades is a storytelling adventure tabletop RPG.

It’s goals are:

To run the sorts of games me and my players love, which are:
- story-forward
- wildly creative
- full of adventure
and have:
- customizable characters
- big dramatic encounters
- online-friendly, easy, and fast-moving rules
and to:
- be really, really fun, and capture that ‘chaotic random joy’ of a great Old-School RPG.
- share the creation of the story and the setting between all players.
- not require prep from the GM and players, and whatever prep they do voluntarily only helps.

It's largely based on PBtA, Blades in the Dark, and various OSR games.
