Gloire Cover!

[Operator5]

The next big release for Rattrap Productions will be Gloire: Swashbuckling Adventure in the Age of Kings. This ruleset for miniature games will be released in November. Page count and pricing to be announced in early September.



Gloire is a new and complete adventure miniatures game based on the proven mechanics of the .45 Adventure pulp-style rules. Gloire is swashbuckling adventure, like the stories of the Three Musketeers, Dr. Syn and the Scarecrow, and Scaramouche. Players can control master swordsmen, nobles of the court, highwaymen, military heroes, spies... in all, more than two dozen character profiles are included in the rules.

The game takes care to capture the elegant artistry of the swordfight, while retaining fast play that keeps players involved. But the game is more than combat! The emphasis on scenarios and encounters found in .45 Adventure is retained in Gloire, making games stories of their own rather than mere brawls. Special rules for dueling provide players with an opportunity to satisfy their honor with worthy foes during the course of a game.

The Gloire scenario The Waylaid Messenger won a coveted Battle Streamer at Historicon 2006, and is included in the rulebook, along with two other scenarios designed to get players involved in the game right away.

Gloire was written by Pete Murray, based on the rules created by Richard A. Johnson. Cover and interior artwork were all done by Kim Allman.

The website is still under construction, but you will eventually be able to find all the information at

There's a Yahoo Group for Gloire, too!

If you haven't joined already, I hope you'll do so. We've discussed scenario ideas, sources of inspiration, and minis.

Hopefully in the coming weeks we'll be able to say MANY NEW AND EXCITING THINGS about 28mm minis you can use in the game. :mrgreen:

Wow, that looks awesome.  is the interior artwork along the same style? I like Kims style.

Kim's artwork reminds me kind of Kaja and Phil Foglio, and I am rather fond of their stuff.
