The Savage World of Flash Gordon

From the Librarian: The Flash Gordon Roleplaying Game takes players to the rogue planet of Mongo, where they join the Freemen in a daring rebellion against the tyrannical Ming the Merciless, navigating a world filled with exotic kingdoms, diverse races, and thrilling adventures. You’ll enjoy the Flash Gordon RPG if you’re a fan of swashbuckling space adventures, rich lore, and the chance to be a hero leading the fight for freedom in a pulpy, action-packed setting.


 

From the Publisher: “He’ll save every one of us!”

On the rogue planet of Mongo, a brutal and sadistic tyrant named Ming the Merciless rules from his royal palace at the heart of Mingo City.

Secretly defying the emperor’s reign of terror are the Freemen, revolutionaries banded together from a number of kingdoms around the globe. From the winged hawkmen of Sky City to the ice giants of Naquk, from the water-breathing Coralians to the tree-dwelling Arborians, and from the nomadic lion men to the dwarfs of the Magnetic Mountains, many who have suffered under the drogiron fist of Emperor Ming have united under their own standard to see that the despot is deposed and freedom for all becomes the law of the land.

Inspiring this growing rebellion are three aliens from Earth: Dr. Hans Zarkov, Dale Arden, and Flash Gordon, the man whose face emboldens all who wish to live on a world free of Ming!
