DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.

Hello, Dwes Eggheads! Mage Armor here, your new and improved Duelmaster. (Okay, maybe
not improved, since it's proven difficult to defeat San Tropez. Good thing he took the
week off to work on his tan. [Does anyone get that reference?])

When Neon was naming teams, he saw this Hidden Magic theme, and chose "Mage Armor" for
my dueling name. Appropriate for a Total Parry, don't you think? Just that added
little bit of protection. It's worked 22 times so far, so something must be going
right. My problem now is attracting the attention of Lady Greywand. I have played the
political game successfully. Now, I just need to prove the worth of my skills to her.
I guess excelling at the thing you do best isn't sufficient these days. I need to
diversify a bit, it seems. Or get even better at the second part of my style.
Hopefully, this won't take TOO long.

Until next time, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!

-- Mage Armor, Duelmaster

SPY REPORT

Hail and well met warriors of DWES EG! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. STONED ROOKIES 3 bore the brunt of
major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 17th position as the
result of going 0-1-0! My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise
the harder you fall. This week MADNESS went 0-1-0 and fell 11 notches into 18th!
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week
HOUSE TSALOKHIN D went 0-0-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. DREADNOUGHT caught the
eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested TINGLE and was
awarded 11 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SHAKE
YOUR HEADS put down ELECTRIO OPEN, causing it to lose 7 points of recognition in the
process. Not for nothing has MAGE ARMOR in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's
throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Heed this! A seer has
warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. DWES EG, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is DEADWOOD, a guild shunned and avoided by many
in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of THE BARD'S OWN are catching the
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a
rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani
Sharp Eyes

BLOODGAMES 2026 -- corrected (dates)

Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena
beginning in September. We also plan our usual Bloodgames arenas at the winter and
summer Face-to-Face tournaments.

For those of you who always wanted the chance to manage the last warrior standing
alive upon the arena sands, your day has come. The Bloodgames are coming!

At the end of the ten turns, even though several warriors, bruised and scarred, MAY
yet live, only one will be crowned Champion of the Bloodgames. And in this game mere
survival counts for little. A great general once said, "The object of battle is not
to die for your cause, but to make your enemy die for his." This general would have
greatly enjoyed the Duelmasters Bloodgames. Here are the particulars:

Face-to-Face style Bloodgames Turn 1 is due by Fri at 9pm at the hotel
(Winter: DM 96, Summer: DM 98) Turns process with the tournament
Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only

Mail-in style Bloodgames Turn 1 is by Sat at 9pm at the hotel
(Winter: DM 97, Summer: DM 99) All turns process overnight, mail-in style.
No strategy changes; all ten rounds process one
after the other and results will be out Sun morning.

Slow Bloodgames (DM 95): Turn 1 is due Weds September 23
Turns process every 28 days
Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only

Gameplay proceeds according to standard DM rules, except for a few notable exceptions:

BLOODGAMES ROLLUP -- Your Bloodgames team is ten warriors, one of each fighting
style, each warrior designed from scratch! (All are DYOs (design your owns) with 84
points, 3-21, as usual.) To submit your rollup, just write/type them up and send them
in. We'll mail or email your overviews and you can write up your strategies. Your
warriors must be created and have strategies entered by the first due date.

DEATH -- As the name implies, the Bloodgames will leave the arena sands somewhat
darker before they're over. It's a dangerous sport intended only for the tough and
spirited. The Arenamaster will be less likely to intercede on behalf of a dying
warrior. Even at a 1 kill desire, kill attempts will occur.

REPLACEMENTS AND ROLLUPS -- There will be no replacement characters.

CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES -- In the turn-based bloodgames, there are no regular
challenges, only bloodfeuds. There will be no DA challenges in any of the bloodgames
arenas.

MISSED TURNS -- All warriors fight each round. Only the dead may rest.

ERRORS -- If we make an input error, that warrior will be awarded a win and kill.
Errors must be reported before the next turn processes.

NEWSLETTER -- Warriors are ranked according to their number of kills. Champions of
Bloodgames may write a column for the newsletter at the end of the games.

FEES -- A Bloodgames rollup costs a $10 set-up fee. Managers may roll up more than
one team but may run only one team in each arena. The fee for all ten rounds is $49.

AWARDS -- The Bloodgames last ten rounds. Only warriors who survive to the end of
Turn 10 will be eligible for an award. However, a consolation award of a Bloodgames
T-shirt will be awarded to the dead warrior with the most kills.

The living warrior with the greatest number of kills will be the Bloodgames Champion.
Bloodgames Victor titles, 2nd and 3rd place will be awarded to those living warriors
with the greatest number of kills at the end of Turn 10, with one other important
consideration: Each of these three warriors must be of a different fighting style.
Win/loss records and, if necessary, recognition points will only be used to determine
awards if there is a tie.

The Bloodgames Champion fights for free in Advanced Duelmasters, and all Champions and
Victors earn Tournament Victor status, which allows them to challenge once per turn
with increased priority. These awards last for six months. The manager of the
Bloodgames Champion and Victors will receive Bloodgames T-shirts.

A Bloodgames T-shirt will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills.
T-shirts will only happen if someone gives us a nice design. One shirt per person.

AFTERMATH -- Warriors from the Bloodgames may not transfer to any other arena. Once
the games are over, the arena and teams will be disbanded. The fighters have won
their freedom and will never more be seen in the gladiatorial games. A special bonus
will, however, be awarded to the 1st through 3rd place warriors. Lady Sheila
Greywand, of the Isle of the Eye, has consented to allow the top three gladiators in
each Bloodgames admission to the Advanced Duelmasters games. Any special training
required to qualify those three warriors for Advanced Duelmasters combat will be
conducted before transfer into ADM. Astute managers will note that this means that
three warriors that are designed from scratch will survive the Bloodgames, win one of
the top three places, and go on to immortal glory! One of those warriors could be
yours!

The challenge is yours to take. The final plans are yours to make.
When the dust settles, remember: To the victor goes the spoils!
