I dispatched his guards
Before "Surrender, wench!" had
Even left his throat

Who doesn't love a dashing hero? Mix together some swordplay, acrobatics, showing off, and a sexy smile, and you've got one of the most popular options in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy: the swashbuckler. And GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Swashbucklers has everything you need to create the hero of your dreams, by gathering together all existing options and power-ups and then adding a whole lot more, such as:

Templates: In addition to the standard swashbuckler, try new 250-point options like the charismatic and strategic aristocrat, the ruthless and seafaring buccaneer, the deadly and fast duelist, or the tricky and sneaky rogue. All five include detailed customization notes and "henchman" options for use with GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 15: Henchmen.
Lenses: Be old 'n' bold for greater wisdom, philosophical to reflect esoteric training, portly to rely on strength and bulk instead of speed, staff-swinging if swordplay is too mainstream, or worldly to reflect a lifetime of experiences. Or use the detailed cross-training lenses to really branch out.
Power-Ups: All of the swashbuckler-specific stuff from GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 11: Power-Ups is here, along with tons of brand new ways to make your GM cry. In addition to basic power-ups for all five templates, enjoy perks covering everything from fighting to fashion, and then load up on more potent bennies such as boosting your crits, making attacks of opportunity, and slicing through magical defenses.
Stuff: While many an interesting pub story starts with a swashbuckler being caught naked, no self-respecting delver would enter a fray unprepared! Learn about your clothing and armor options, and why a wig and mask can be more than just a fashion statement. Then choose a perfect blade, using new customization options (with advice) to build the ultimate weapon. Finally, grab or loot amazing new magical artifacts like the Astounding Swing-Line or Scabbard of the Smith.
Advice: Finally, the book is sprinkled with useful advice on how to get the most out of your options. How do you survive when you prioritize speed over armor? What sort of weapon fits your fighting style? How can you best recover from crippling injuries? Consider this Swashbuckling 101.

It takes a certain bold personality to leap into a dungeon, sword-point first, and embodying that spirit is what GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Swashbucklers is all about!

(Addendum: If you missed out on the Dungeon Fantasy RPG Kickstarter, or know anyone who did, you can still pre-order it via Backerkit.)
