Who among us has not at one time or another imagined ourselves as one of the Three Musketeers? Or maybe as a swashbuckling pirate crossing blades with a worthy adversary. This is France, but maybe not the France of our history books. This is the France of Cyrano de Bergerac, of Errol Flynn, of all the heroes of the stories we read in our youth. In this France a man must know his place. Or at least bide his time until the advantage is his. A low born man with sharp sword and sharper wit can aspire to the top of the Social Strata. Here in the Orleans 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 monsieur? Then have a look around, and if you wish you may send a post to the Game Master Jean Claude du Lac with any questions! And remember a sharp tongue should always be backed by a sharper sword! P.S. If you would like to watch the
game but not play just subscribe to the: |
I would like to personally thank David Tye of the Arcadia En Garde PBEM game for his kind help and permission to use his House Rules. I would also like to thank Dan Corrin 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 Cyrano, Roxanne, Scaramouche, Errol Flynn, Porthos, Athos, Aramis,
Rhonda Fleming, Francois Villon, Constance, and, of course, D'Artagnan.
There are people to be used, friends in high places to be cultivated, enemies
to be humiliated, the Cardinal'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.
