[@Clever Hans] I have never played, or heard of the Flashing Blades RPG. I am however an avid fan if history, having read a multitude of tomes and articles on the subject since I was ten years old. I love historical Roleplays and could be interested in this one. Is this kind of like a Spanish version of the Three Musketeers? I see this has the backdrop of not only King Phillip II's death, but also the [i]30 years' War[/i] mostly fought in the Germanic States with Spain on the side of the Hapsburgs of Austria.

Have you read the Capitan Alatriste books?  That and the Three Musketeers are my primary references.  Definitely swashbuckling, intrigue, secrets, all that good stuff, but centered in Madrid (but definitely the possibility of travel within and outside of Spain is quite possible).  The game starts in 1621, just before the death of Felipe III.
