Louis XIII is King and ruler, though ministers and the Church also wield considerable influence. The nations of Europe are constantly involved in conflict over religion, territory, and other reasons less obvious to the casual observer. Duelling is a tolerated way of settling disputes between gentlemen, and although honour and status are paramount, corruption lies just below the surface. It is a time when those with ambition, talent and luck can achieve fame and fortune in the military, the government, the Church, as an explorer or merchant, in the arts and sciences, or just by being an active socialite. Arcadia is an En Garde! roleplaying game run by David Tye (dptye@ibm.net). Info page: http://www2.southwind.net/~phoenyx/opi/ The Holmes-Marches Campaign: On the heels of the announcement of truce between the Imperium and the Zhodani Republic, the end of hostilities, and Amber Zones being declared in once Red Zone Sectors, a new merchant line has been announced headquartered on Rhylanor/Rhylanor at the Zenin-Downs Starport. The Holmes-Dai'syn Corporation will be conducting interviews at its office in the RayonDown Starport on 200-1111. Parties interested in being crew members for an up and coming merchant line filing the gap created by the war should report with intentions of leaving on duty within five days (205-1111). Certainly, a new merchant venture truly brings an end to the hostilities. Come, be on the cutting edge of a fledging Merchant Line in the Spinward Marches of the Imperium. Enjoy adventure, travel, intrigue, and maybe just a little profit. The Holmes-Marches Campgin is a Traveller roleplaying game run by Jano Donnachaidh <jano@negia.net>.
