Points Arising for December 1675

Players' deadline for January 1676 is 12th July 2024

Well, the only comment I had on the new layout was that it took a while to understand. Hmm, should I take that as positive feedback? Anyone else want to chip in?

After getting last issue out, it occurred to me that this is how we used to run the games at conventions. Print off those reports (in good old Courier font, of course) and post them on the noticeboards for players to pick the bones out of - along with their character sheets.

Beau Reese Jean Seine's tenure as Minister of State finishes at the end of January. Anyone who wants to apply for the appointment should do so with their January orders (to take effect at the start of February, when players will be able to use influence for or against the applicants).

In case you haven't spotted it, JD's name has been adjusted to: Jon Dicehateme. At least I get it now.

Welcome

Joining us for the January 1676 turn is Nick Tyrrell, an experienced player who admits to having "played in Dangerous Liaisons PBM game several years ago". Which, if I recall correctly, had female characters. Welcome to LPBS, Nick.

Absent friends

I didn't receive orders from the following (No Move Received – NMR) and they suffered the consequences:
CdN Claude de Nord (Andrew Larder) has NMR'd. Total now 1
JPLM Jean-Paul LeMon (Terry Crook) has NMR'd. Total now 1

Mike Clibborn-Dyer got the benefit of the doubt and X1 was floated.

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.
