[net.games.frp] playing by net

tmh (07/09/82)

A good game to try by net would be GDW's En Guard.  It
is well suited to play by mail and can be fun.  If you
have never played it, it is a game of role playing in
the Three Musketeers era.  The primary object of the
game is to raise your social level as high as possible.
This is done by getting status points equal to three
times your current level in one month (if you fail to
get equal to your level you drop a level).  You get
status points for mistresses, which clubs you belong to,
your position etc.

I must agree. En Garde is the best of the group for PBN play.  Duels
would still be a little messy but not too bad if the people involved
were near each other. This is true because the rules outside of the
dueling system which probably motivated the game are oriented towards slow
and steady social climbing.  I would be willing to try to Referee such a
campaign.  Interested parties should let me know at (...!harpo!cmcl2!tihor
