I'll take this oportunity to announce the re-emergence of the "La Spurt" EG game that
was based at Newcastle Uny but due to work pressures has been moved on to another GM
(Paul) at m0079%tnc@uunet.uu.net .

Our game includes a huge amount of house rules (probably more house rules than originals) and so is quite a variant on the original. The structure of the game is held intact though so view the house rules as additions rather than deletions to the old rules. The new GM, Paul, is also compiling some new rules of his own so the game will be even huger than before.

Some additions:

Marriage, Liaisons, Revamped duelling, Bribery, Military Academy, Medals, Church, New Investments, Theatre, Drinking Duels, Rebellion, Hospital, Justice rules, New Appointments, Clergy, and more.

All in all though, EG is what you make of it. You can totally ignore our House Rules but still play the game.

Paul and myself have been looking at the possiblities of creating some Global EnGarde, where different games play different countries and players are free to move betweeen them, or even fight each other during the campaigns. There would be a huge problem of synching the games if that was deemed to be necessary, but it would be great to see it happen. Discussion??

As soon as work eases, myself and a friend will be running a PBM by snail mail, based in England after the Civil War and loosely structured around the old EG. If anyone would be interested in playing that email me, and I'll pass on my address.
