En garde or En Garde can refer to:
En Garde! is a role-playing game set in 17th century Paris. Players take the roles of gentlemen duellists. The game was designed by Frank Chadwick and first published by Game Designers' Workshop (GDW) in 1975.
Game Designers' Workshop got into the RPG field with En Garde! (1975), a swashbuckling game by Frank Chadwick; it was a hybrid game, part RPG and part strategy.En Garde! was designed by Darryl Hanny and Frank Chadwick, and published as a 48-page digest-sized book in 1975, with a revised edition in 1977.David M. Ewalt, in his book Of Dice and Men, commented that En Garde! was one of the first early competing products in the role-playing game field to TSR's Dungeons & Dragons, describing it as "a role-playing game set in seventeenth-century France that emphasized man-to-man sword fighting. Players responded to the Three Musketeers-style setting, but they didn't care for the rules."
In the 1980s the game had become widely played by mail but GDW did not reprint it when stocks were exhausted. Theo Clarke and Paul Evans ran a game for over 20 players at the UK Gamesfair in 1983. Evans then wrote a BASIC computer program to administer the game and they ran increasingly large games at successive games fairs. Evans started a postal game using the same computer programs in 1986 in a new magazine called Small Furry Creatures Press, which he co-published with Clarke. Evans continues to run this game as Les Petites Bêtes Soyeuses.
En Grade is the 17th volume of Nancy Drew: Girl Detective series.
Nancy's friend George Fayne is taking fencing classes at Salle Budapest. Every thing seems well except for a shadowy guy who seems to be at both the salle and the fencing meet, but Nancy ignores him for now. George is at the meet with her fencing friends and twins DeLyn and Damon Brittany. When Una, a fencer from Salle Olympique, gets a minor injury due to a faulty gauntlet, it leads to a fight between Bela Kovacs, the coach at Salle Budapest and Paul Mourbiers, the coach of Salle Olumpique, Nancy learns of the 2 coaches' long rivalry (which presumably extends from the 1976 Montreal Olympics).
brace yourself my dear there's a new one
why you ended so tragically
you won't believe how simple a problem
can be solved so complicatedly
and i agree you should have known sooner
it's my fault for not believing
the truth comes with divined intervention
and i need you to intervene
embrace our time
(cause it will never last)
a cold red line
(we become)
a thorn sharp line
into my side
into my side
did i mention my soul could carry no weight
i'm ready for you, to be here to today
this life is not made to be seperate
you're breaking my heart
so come back today
no i can't write
no i can't explain
what i want to say
is that i can't really help you anyways
so leave me here
with a basement life
embrace our time
(cause it will never last)
a cold red line
(we become)
a thorn sharp line
into my side
into my side
