Welcome to Duty & Honour
Take the King’s Shilling!
Do you get a shiver up your spine when you hear Richard Sharpe screaming at his men to fire four rounds a minute? Do the words ‘Beat to quarters and run out the guns!’ fill you with excitement? Do you enjoy a good bodice ripping yarn of daring-do?
Duty and Honour is a role-playing game that puts you and your friends in the roles of the men who fought during the Napoleonic Wars. However this is not the bloody, gritty and torrid reality of these harsh battles – rather it is told from the perspective of the thrilling works of fiction that has built up around this time.
What sort of a game is Duty and Honour?
In Duty and Honour the progress and plot of the game are thrown open to the players to direct as they try to complete their personal and group missions. Alongside the GM, the players start the game by suggesting the sort of adventures that they would like to participate in and how they can overlap to create a great story. The upshot of this is a game that is tied to the characters and the players, maximising the relevance of their play. It does require both the GM and the players to think on their feet and to be able to contribute to creating a great story together.
