Les Petites Bêtes Soyeuses

Points Arising for January 1676

Players' deadline for February 1676 is 16th August 2024

Tim Macaire had a comment on the new format. “I do recall a couple of convention games, and I think the ‘new’ format is actually better; it is possible to find the necessary information, but it does not break up the flow of the report.” That all sounds good – anyone else going to chip in? And note that I’ve got away from the mono-spaced Courier font.

I heard from Bob Blanchett after the deadline with the alarming news that “I’ve just spent the week in hospital.” He added, “the ticker needed a reset/shock. Took me and my GP completely by surprise!” Is it me or am I sensing some Aussie grit there? Anyway, Bob is back home and all seems well again.

Ben e’Volence will complete his year as Minister of War at the end of February. Anyone wishing to apply for this appointment should do so with their February orders (to be resolved at the start of March).

Welcome

Ben Edwards signed up for the game before the Jan deadline, but wasn’t able to get orders to me in time. So his character starts with February and welcome to LPBS, Ben.

Joining us just after the deadline was Jonah Schmiechen, who’s setting up his own game as well. And a hearty welcome to you, too, Jonah.

Absent friends

I didn't receive orders from the following (No Move Received – NMR) and they suffered the consequences:
    BRJS Beau Reese Jean Seine (Bill Hay) has NMR'd. Total now 1
    GdBm Gaston de Boum (Ray Vahey) has NMR'd. Total now 1
    JPLM Jean-Paul LeMon (Terry Crook) has NMR'd. Total now 2 and is sent to a Frontier regiment

Farewell

Mike Clibborn-Dyer has decided to “take a break from En Garde! and perhaps join back later.” We’ll miss you, Mike, and you’re very welcome to re-start whenever you’re ready.

Notes

There’s an email group for En Garde! players and GMs, providing a forum to swap stories and ideas. Sign up at: groups.io

It is worth sending orders in even if they're a day or two late: it's possible I can still action the orders and will probably be able to use any press. It also reassures me that you're still out there.

Orders (and press) should be emailed to the LPBS orders e-mail address - you'll get an automated response when the message arrives in my mailbox. Please give your name and your character's name and specify actions in full detail. If you want a query answered before the deadline, please use the main LPBS email address.
