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...
I just put the first interior art piece for Gloire up on the Group Homepage. Not even Pete has seen this yet! Kim Allman (Whitemanticore on TMP) just sent this...
It's BEAUTIFUL! Kim did a fantastic job, and you're right, the pencil roughs were lovely, but this is a whole new ball game. Kim does great, dynamic work....
I just signed up to find out a bit more about Gloire. Has anyone else heard of the old French kids TV show, The Flashing Blade, set in 1630. It was really...
... It is a long story, a tale of redemption and vengence, honor and art. It was early in the reign of King William, when Rich and I were just finished our...
Welcome, David! I've never heard of this show (it slightly predates me) but it seems like the kind of thing that would be perfect for generating scenarios for...
Wow. I haven't played Gloire yet as I didn't get to attend Historicon, but those combat descriptions sound fantastic. Brings to mind Erroll Flynn movies and...
I see we've had a number of people join today. Welcome to Gloire! The rules are still in production, and should be released by November. If you are so...
... bit ... is ... can. ... group, was inspired to learn more by seeing the pics from Historican. My wargames partner Dave Bickley as a exstensive English...
"...he had made ink from candle-soot and a pen from a capon-bone, and on the walls of his cell had drawn a tableau of Hector at the walls of Troy." You forgot...
Hey Pete, Okay, you're going to write some short fiction pieces for the rulebook, right? 'Cause that was pretty good! I think you just raised the bar again on...
Found this site doing research (no, really!), and it's on the historical and fictional Mlle. Maupin--opera singer, swordswoman, femme fatale (quite literally)...
Good morning! I've put up something under the Files section which I think you will enjoy--an article from Scribner's Magazine from August of 1890, about what...
Foremost among the virtues of the movie swordfight is that it is much more entertaining than the "real" sport fencing matches, or, forbid, two people actually...
What I heard was that Viggo ended up with a chipped tooth from the fray. He refused to be air lifted to an emergency dentist and had one of the make up people...
Yes he has! It's phenomenal--I just haven't had a chance to tell you to your e-face yet :-) The rest of you will have to wait til' November. Sorry! --Pete...
Phil, If you're referring to a musket "firing" but not launching its projectile, then it is basically the same as 45A in that certain rolls will result in no...

Just bought the above book today, set in Spain in the 1620's during the reign of King Philip the Fourth. "in this political hotbed of hired assassins, court...
Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to confirm that what Rich wrote is essentially correct. Rolling a 1 To Hit means that the shot didn't go off, but you...
I am hoping the upcoming movie puts the book in wider circulation. I'll have to check Amazon, as none of the local big chain bookstores seem to have it in...
If you're coming to the group from TMP's story about the impending release of Gloire, welcome! This is the main discussion group for the game, and we've been ...
To add one more comment to Pete's, once pricing and page count have been set, I will be putting up the FREE demo version of the game. Expect it around the...
I for one will definitely be keeping an eye out for the demo rules. But wait, I hope this doesn't mean game dev on .45 is going to slow! Stuart Nicholson ...
TMP is great, and I would absolutely NEVER have heard of this without it. I absolutely must set out to relieve Captain Farrell of the money he was counting......
... without it. Without TMP, I would never have gotten .45 Adventures. Without .45 Adventures, I would never have written Gloire. So yes, TMP is an unalloyed...
Rich will continue to devote his time and manic energies on developing .45 Adventures. I'll be handling most of the development of Gloire. Rich and I do talk...
