Castle Falkenstein (role-playing game)

Role-Playing Games

Castle Falkenstein is a fantasy role-playing game designed by Mike Pondsmith and originally published by R. Talsorian Games in 1994. The game takes its name from a legendary unbuilt castle in the Bavarian Alps. Players take the roles of gallant adventurers who pursue quests of intrigue and derring-do in the spirit of Victorian adventures such as The Prisoner of Zenda. The source describes the quests as ones of intrigue and derring-do, so the game is framed as a fantasy of Victorian-style adventure, and it is credited to designer Mike Pondsmith and to R. Talsorian Games as its original publisher in the year 1994.
