This fascinating new handbook presents a rigid D20-based system in which every decision counts and character death is final. A single character can be played in various game types, keeping the same bonuses and stats, thanks to the seamless integration of RPG rules with tabletop miniatures and collectible card games.
In our world of fantasy, musketeers, and pirates, Death Before Dishonor plunges players into a rich narrative where your social status can dictate your fate. From the taverns of swashbuckling pirates to the lavish courts of noble knights, the game allows players to engage in a wide array of scenarios: duels, tournaments, survival competitions, and social intrigue. Victory in these contests is not just about combat prowess, but also about tactical cunning and political strategy.
Characters in the card game have special abilities and can influence the path of events, which is closely tied to the role-playing game. Characters can advance through the ranks as players do, accruing influence that can be used to obtain real advantages in both card-based and tabletop games. Every decision and deed has an effect on the world and the characters that live in it, making them distinct and enduring.
The Rulebook EnGarde: Death Before Dishonor provides gamers seeking a high-stakes experience in a pirate and musketeer fantasy setting with everything from fierce fights to grand tournaments. Your character's abilities, status, and influence can have a significant impact on both friendly and official competitions, allowing you to craft strategies that are both complex and satisfying.
NPCs Turned Heroes: Characters available for purchase on the website are NPCs that can transition into full player-controlled characters. These NPCs already have backstories and actions tied to the game world, giving you a rich starting point for your adventure. You can continue their story or take them in a new direction, while all their actions and outcomes will be logged on the site.
Players will see how their individual actions shape the game’s universe, from small-scale duels to nation-wide battles. As these battles play out, they will be chronicled in newsletters, ensuring that every player is a part of the epic narrative that is constantly evolving within EnGarde.
You’ll also receive a full personalized story for your character every week, capturing all the significant details: the battles fought, the alliances made, and the treasures discovered. This unique feature allows you to see your character’s growth and their impact on the greater EnGarde universe. Over time, your character’s deeds may become part of the game’s enduring history, inspiring legends in both the tabletop and upcoming video game.
With Death Before Dishonor, EnGarde Games is building a platform that unites players from around the world, offering gameplay experiences that are unforgettable, challenging, and above all, immersive.

Gameplay Mechanics:
- D20 System: Known for its adaptability and equilibrium, the D20 system is included in the rulebook. A 20-sided die is rolled by the players to decide the results of numerous activities, such as political intrigue and duels and wars. The D20 mechanic's simplicity guarantees quick gameplay while providing a lot of strategy and customization options.
- Cross-System Compatibility: One of Death Before Dishonor's best qualities is how well it works with EnGarde's tabletop miniatures game and Collectible Card Game (CCG). This implies that, regardless of the system you're using, the same character you design can be utilized in card games and role-playing games, offering continuity and extra benefits. It encourages players to participate in various forms while keeping their character's plot coherent.
- Hardcore Character System: In Death Before Dishonor, a character's standing in society is just as important as their set of talents and abilities. A noble character, for example, has specific benefits in the game, whether they come from political clout or special abilities. These characters' deaths give the game a lot more weight because it affects the player and the story of the game when a well-developed character dies.
- D20 System: Core mechanics that ensure smooth gameplay, while providing ample customization.
- Cross-System Character Continuity: The same character can be played across different systems (RPG, CCG, and tabletop), bringing strategic depth and connectivity between formats.
- High-Stakes Play: Death is permanent, and items left behind can be looted by other players. Hardcore players will find this feature to be a thrilling test of skill and risk.
