About En Garde RPG! is a small-scale skirmish game based on the successful Ronin rules, in which small groups of warriors fight each other for honor or riches (play here!). Rather than just rolling a few dice, the rules allow players to make tactical decisions about how the models they control will fight – offensively, defensively, or by applying special skills and abilities. En Garde! covers the conflicts of the 16th, 17th, and early 18th centuries, when black-powder weapons started to become common in battle but martial prowess still determined the outcome. Play as Border Reivers, Conquistadors, Landsknechts, Aztecs, French Musketeers, Caribbean Pirates, and many more, in scenarios that evoke classic engagements of the genre. Simple campaign rules allow multiple scenarios to be played sequentially, allowing warbands to develop over time. An appendix is also included to provide brief rules for supernatural creatures of the period – monsters, demons, revenants, and witches – and new abilities and equipment to fight them, making En Garde! the perfect ruleset for gamers who want something different from the norm.

  • Is there an online version of this workshop? You're doing some different things that no one else is doing.

    • Yes, it's coming very soon. I had hoped to use the comments and experience from the JAN 2025 workshop, ... But it looks like several folks would like a delayed workshop OR as you've stated an "Online Version" (which saves me a ton of investment!)

  • When is your next workshop?
