unlabelledView post →"Why isn't there any musketeer video game?" 🤺 In 2017, as a game design student, I pitched a game inspired by The Three Musketeers. This game turned into En Garde!, which we released in 2023 ✨ Despite that, I'm still asking that same question to this day. Thread 🧵
unlabelledView post →A while ago I learned of this neat little game called En Garde, and due to the main character - Adalia de Volador - her penchant for style and sass, I thought it'd be a fun idea to have Rey dress up like that. So here we have that, painted by @juliathedragoncat.bsky.social! :D

unlabelledView post →I painted another commission for John Blanche, this time on of the new as yet unreleased figures for his upcoming game, En Garde. John supplied the base. The crystals glow in the dark so I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a photography effect! #engarde #en_garde

unlabelledView post →Four of @northstarfigs.bsky.social new King's Musketeers figures, finished ready for a game of En Garde on Thursday. Really enjoyable figures to paint.
unlabelledView post →En Garde is flavour of the month at the moment. For tonight's game Jon fielded an elite warband and it made for a very different fight. The musketeers were defeated, but lessons have been learned. We're still really enjoying exploring this new (to us) game.
unlabelledView post →I love the concept of En Garde! but after playing the game I think I love the concept far more than the game itself does. Letting AAA/Sifu-isms affect the main gimmick of the game by having all items auto target was IMO a huge mistake esp with how insanely strong items are to begin with
unlabelledView post →Very rarely a game comes along that feels like it's been made just for you. And in my case that's swashbuckling queer lady adventure En Garde! My review:
unlabelledView post →Extremely proud to present a new character for John Blanche's En Garde, the game of furious duels! It was done by the incredibly talented Thomas Elliott, and he is based one someone you may know from your gaming hobby journey... Links to the game pages below...
unlabelledView post →My advocate is on side. My rheumatologist is on side. My local specialist clinic is on side. It's game on, DWP. EN GARDE.
unlabelledView post →I had a brief chat recently with John Blanche about some of the inspirations on his work over the years and his involvement in the new game John Blanche's En Garde. I found it absolutely fascinating and it is available to watch right now on my patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/john-b...
unlabelledView post →The mighty John Blanche recently joined me to reflect on the inspirations in his career & talk about his latest work: the 54mm duelling game John Blanche's En Garde. Our extended conversation is now available exclusively to my Patreon supporters: www.patreon.com/posts/john-b... #WarhammerCommunity
unlabelledView post →In 2024, there STILL isn't any musketeer game. Because En Garde! is not a proper "musketeer" game in the end. It doesn't star a crew of french braggart noblemen. We set the action in Spain, and our protagonist is a vigilante, closer to Zorro than to d'Artagnan. 2/24
unlabelledView post →So, there's still no proper musketeer game then. En Garde! isn't one. Why isn't anyone else doing it? I've been wondering for years. Apart from a bunch of obscure abandonware, it's still an unexplored setting. 16/24
unlabelledView post →I think the two “Learn this or lose” games I’d suggest are probably Nine Sols or Sekiro, with the caveat that they are only useful if “walk away” is not just as doable an option. For something a little more basic, God of War Ragnarok or a recentish indie game called En Garde are good primers.
unlabelledView post →In the early 2000's, and despite Antonio Banderas' best efforts as Zorro, classic Swashbuckler films had fallen out of fashion. This was until... 2003, when Pirates of the Caribbean came out! Remember how kids described En Garde! as a "pirate game"? 19/24
unlabelledView post →En Garde is a delightful little game, highly recommended
unlabelledView post →With En Garde!, we wanted to pay homage to the swashbuckler genre as a whole. We chose to set the game in 17th century Spain, because the genre initially came from here ("comedia de capa y espada" were theater plays from that period). 12/24
unlabelledView post →En Garde! a new slapstick (!) swashbuckling (!!) action game from @FireplaceGames just dropped, and I am doing a sponsored stream of it! Come for the action, stay to see how many attempts it takes me to say "slapstick swashbuckling" without messing up https://www.twitch.tv/the_jenna
unlabelledView post →"functional but easily reconfigured systems with room for improvement" Once again, I must return to En Garde and its house ruling committee. "This game is good, but why is it about 17th century France rather than Glorantha/Lovecraftian students/the Vatican?"

unlabelledView post →New Chibi! This one is to commemorate my 100% on steam for En Garde! It's also a game I used to speedrun so it has a special place in my heart along with Little Kitty Big City and Bioshock.
unlabelledView post →ran a very special session of En-Garde x MEATHEADS where i set a randomized timer that would go off and we’d scrambled to switch systems and changed outfits. some of the most fun ive had in ages. #osr #ttrpg

unlabelledView post →Joining Wavetale, En Garde! has also decided to hit the "basically free" level of discount. Pretty hard to say no. #blutoid
unlabelledView post →En Garde! ($4.99) A short but sweet swashbuckler game. The main order of business here is environmental manipulation, using everything around you to throw off groups of enemies & break their defense or take them out. A playground for making cool things happen store.steampowered.com/app/1654660/...

unlabelledView post →I'll never not recommend En Garde! It's an adorable game with very cool/fun environmental combat mechanics, a charming cast of characters, beautiful art direction and a o==}straight=to=the=point=- plot.

unlabelledView post →Currently I am running a turn based game of En Garde on discord, hosted on the Raspy Raven by @jwmuk.bsky.social En Garde is a classic PBM game that has found a home on Discord with several versions, not just my own. Here is the current "Greasy Pole" of players... #Grogsqaud
unlabelledView post →Currently playing En Garde! Combat system 100% sells the swashbuckler fantasy. Also the combat has a feature named "panache", which makes it a must play in my book. Very funny dialogue as well. You have to appreciate the constant puss in boots accents though. store.steampowered.com/app/1654660/...
unlabelledView post →At its heart, En Garde! is a social game invented by 70s wargamers. Whether that proposition feels you with glee or horror likely tells you whether it's a game for you. Pick up a copy here - www.engarde.co.uk

unlabelledView post →I had Fable work up an approximation of the old classic En Garde! One of the oldest pencil and paper RPGs. I haven't played this in 40 years! Fun!
unlabelledView post →This is *such* a cool project. If you enjoyed the movies Pillion or Cruising, or the proto-rpg En Garde, or leather and/or wargames in general, there's so much to love about this game!
unlabelledView post →E: En Garde! A really great looking swashbuckler action game, the combat seems fun as hell. I'm just waiting/hoping for a console release. 🤞
unlabelledView post →En Garde! is a short and sweet treat of a brawler game. Using a punch and parry combat system, En Garde! forces the player to interrupt enemies using the environment to their advantage. With a bright, colourful and charming cast of characters this #indiegame is one game you can finish in a sitting.
unlabelledView post →En Garde! is a great game but it is such by accident and in fact fails all of its stated design goals.
unlabelledView post →What did she mean by this (this game(En Garde!) rules btw)
unlabelledView post →Trying out En Garde because we love a parry game in this household.
unlabelledView post →Running Dragon Warriors. In two En Garde! games and a Savage World game based on Discworld.
unlabelledView post →Dueling Fops of Vindamere from @gregstolze.bsky.social works broadly on that structure and the mechanics help create a game of fighting, fucking and fighting while fucking. It is very good. There's that old stager En Garde, of course.
unlabelledView post →Another unsolicited opinion about recent previews: Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy looks incredible. It's like someone took the combat of En Garde (which rules brtw) and made a Tomb Raider style AAA game around it. Debating if I'll play it day one or try & beat the 1st 2 games first, but I'm sold.
unlabelledView post →Hey check out my friend @thestressedgm.bsky.social making a fool out of himself on his first playthrough on En Garde! Wonderful little soulslike game! #soullike #streamer #chill #firsttime www.youtube.com/live/8x2rRUR...

unlabelledView post →… could go with something OSR inspired or Odd Soot. There will be telepaths & dreamlands. — A play-by-forum cyberpunk game. (En Garde or a horrible hybrid of En Garde, Gangbusters, Cyberpunk 2020, Undeground. I think the former might be better for my sanity.)

unlabelledView post →I should probably put my En Garde game up on Gamefinder at some point.
unlabelledView post →Another short, but sweet game, En Garde! let's you live out the Zorro fantasy you wanted. Its combat is super tight and expressive, story and characters are nice and cheesy, and platforming is pretty basic. If you're ever in the mood for a swashbuckling adventure, this is it. Score: 4/5
unlabelledView post →I will be back to streaming starting tomorrow and I'll be doing mini-painting and art, but also want to start a game series, so in my Discord I have folks deciding off four choices: Hitman (Accidents only) CONTROL En Garde! (2023) Bionic Bay Valheim Thoughts?
unlabelledView post →Thanks, yes. I definitely think it needs to be lighter and warmer. Do hope @roundwoodsworld.bsky.social 's game gets some sort of release soon. I've played the Samurai variant, but yet to play With Flashing Blades. We've played a few games of En Garde at my club recently and are rather enjoying it.
unlabelledView post →As of today, En Garde! (2023) is the 377th best game of all time according to me, directly below Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and directly above Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy. It is part of Tier 16. There are 25 tiers and 589 games in the list #PixelRankings
unlabelledView post →Following John Blanche's passing this week, Harrowhound Miniatures have committed to finishing En Garde, the 54mm dueling game built on his concept art and creative vision. A promise to John, support for his family, and a final showcase of his work. #JohnBlanche #EnGarde l.d20.ninja/EEnwzA
