Playtesting has begun!

Are you tired of ‘enjoying’ the lights of Paris? Travel to London, rub elbows with the English peers, stride the deck of a man-of-war in the greatest navy the world has ever seen, lead a charge of some the noblest of cavalry. Here in the London En Garde PBEM game you can be one of these heroes. Within this game a story is woven of fair damsels, fiercely contested duels, and of course victory, defeat, and revenge. Think you have what it takes sir? Then have a look around, and if you wish you may send a post to the Game Master G.McDonald with any questions!

P.S. If you would like to watch the game but not play just subscribe to the:

I would like to personally thank Brian Jenkins of Orleans Engarde Game System for their kind help and permission to use his House Rules. I would also like to thank Brian for allowing me to pillage the images from his Website!

En Garde is a semi-historical game/simulation representing many of the situations of an Errol Flynn movie set in the Seventeenth or Eighteenth Centuries. The game was originally devised as a fencing system, with background added to provide scenarios for the duels. After a time, it became apparent that the background was more fun than the duels, and En Garde, in it's present form, was born. In En Garde, a player finds himself born into and educated in a world where social climbing is a way of life, and status is a goal to be pursued even over money. It is a world inhabited by Richard Sharpe, Errol Flynn, Jack Aubrey, and, of course, Horatio Hornblower. There are people to be used, friends in high places to be cultivated, enemies to be humiliated, the Queen's Guard to be trounced, lackeys to be abused, the hand of a fair damsel to be won, and the ear of the King to be gained. Come with us now, to those vibrant, bawdy days of Yore...........Sharpen your sword.............Sharpen your wit............Take care not to insult a small man with a large nose..........All for one and one for all..........Good luck, friend, and may your Swash never Buckle!

En Garde is owned and distributed by Small Furry Creatures Press of the UK. Although the game is currently out of print a new edition is expected in Early 2000.
