Crossed Swords (Timemaster)

Like the novels of Alexandre Dumas, the players have to contend with the rival guards of Cardinal Richelieu as well as the political intrigue of the court of Louis XIV at Versailles.

[2] One of Pacesetter's products was Timemaster, in which player characters are agents of the Time Corps, which is defending the timeline against attacks by an insidious enemy.

The first adventure for Timemaster was Crossed Swords,[3] a 32-page book written by Carl Smith, with a cover by Ben Otero and illustrations by Jim Roslof and Stephen Sullivan.

[1] In the January 1985 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #61), Steve Norledge called this scenario "refreshingly light-hearted in feel and there are profuse opportunities for amusing role-playing."

Norledge liked the potential for creative play, saying, "It is a scenario for role-playing - hardly a sterile dungeon crawl of the sort that some companies persist in putting out."
