... Notorious fictional Pirates? Geoffrey Thorpe? Peter Blood? Vallo? Long John Silver? Levasseur? "The Black Pirate"? ....ummmm...."The Dread Pirate...
Welcome to you, then! I'm just back from a weekend away, and glad to see we have people aboard. Please feel free to browse the archive. Unfortunately (for you)...
Most assuredly so! In fact, Captain Blood was one of the major motivators of the game. I finished reading it and had to come up with a rules system to game it...
Gloire was designed with the mid- to late-17th and early 18th centuries in mind--a period rougly bracketed by the Thirty Years' War and the War of Spanish...
... Golly, Pete. Seems to me an 'Official Gloire Demo Team' could use an official 'Gloire Demo Team t-shirt'. 2 is not too few for me. Check w/ Rich to...
If you've done Rich's previous shirts, they are quite nice. Still, since this is Gloire, I was thinking of having tabards done. Does Rattrap have a coat of...
... I never looked good in a tabard. I think I'd prefer a tee shirt with either Flynn as "Blood" or Fairbanks as "Zorro" under the "Gloire" logo. Or possibly...
Tabards are the new black. Wait and see! There is cover art on its way--the artist toils over the canvas even as we speak! And pirates will not be in Gloire...
(Marc busily looking up Tabard...I told you this genre wasn't for me) All I did for Rich was his demo shirts. I just like preying on weak and defenseless...
A tabard is the poncho-sort-of-thingy that you wear over your ordinary clothes. It's usually marked with the heraldry of your particular faction. The...
... No problem. If the rules are good I'll invent one for you. heh Heh! Walls, staircases, rigging, drawbridges, parapets, towers, and other things to leap up...
... I hope that won't stop you from checking out the game. The logic to not putting pirates in the main rulebook is that they're sufficiently interesting to...
... Thank you Lord. ... Don't go to the Dark Side Luke. Use your imagination and you can do *plenty* with this genre without adding Zombie Dinosaurs. Leave...
Any fantasy I'd look at for Gloire would have to fit into the period, so no zombie dinosaurs, nor Richelieu's brain in a jar, nor any of that. While I hate to...
... wooden ... Roll ... stays in. That is rather specific to be an ability, isn't it? I mean, if I had the choice between that or another point of armor for...
... Pirates and Musketeers can fight each other. "The dread pirate known only as "The Wolf of the Seas" has given up his seagoing ways to become an agent of...
... I haven't seen the rules yet. ... I see. I tend to like rules that are related to specific character types. That way the characters don't all seem the...
So should I work up some Pirate art as well? :-) BTW I am about done with the marker comps of the cover and have some sketches worked up for possible interior...
Oh I 'm with you Rory I plan on running games with the 28 mm Pirate figures I already have plus doing stuff with my ECW minis. Kim ... From: Rory Hinnen To:...
... I am torn. Part of me is jumping up and down yelling "Yes! Yes! Yes!" and the other part of me is advising caution and speaking in such buzzkill terms as...
Just to add fuel to the fire. Kim is a personal friend of mine and an extraordinary talent. Plus he has a profound love for the genre, so I'm expecting this...
Yeesh! No pressure indeed! Kim ... From: Marc Anderson To: gloire@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 8:14 AM Subject: Re: [gloire] Artwork! Just to...
I see light at the end of the tunnel! It's either the end of preparations or the proverbial oncoming train--I can't figure out which. At this point, the...
Hey everyone! For those of you who weren't able to attend Historicon this past weekend, I wanted to let you know that Gloire went over extremely well! I had...
If you're just joining the group after learning about Gloire at Historicon, welcome! Let me give you a quick update on how things are going with the game. ...
Thanks to some excellent feedback given at Historicon, and as a result of working with Rich, Gloire is going to feature a number of possible options for the...
