Tournament rules brainstorming thread

Hah, yes, who indeed, and yet who dares insult the King by not trying his hardest as well? Plus it gives us a decent excuse for assembling all these nobles in Paris.

Man, I am ready for this thing to start now!

[AussieGiant]

That is a very good way to start the game.

Really very good.

[TheFlax]

Very well, I'll get something like that ready for when everyone has a character.

Econ I was wondering If I could shamelessly ripe off your dueling system and try and port it over to EB....

I love this idea. Perhaps the winner gets the hand of the princess?

I will pick the most terrible RBG I can if it means winning the fair Bertrade's hand.

You will all fall before my sword.

Also, it is not clarified, but I would like it that each successful die by the attack does 1d4, to a total of 2d4.

Having one die win, and the other fail, makes it hard to resolve fairly, and doesn't seem to be addressed by the current system.

So, each successfully landed blow deals 1d4, and if holding back, does 1d2 instead.

I think the Princess, since she is being played, might want to stay 'in play' a little longer. Plus a fine horse (Movement bonus retinue, right?) and a King's challenge ought to be enough for knights and nobles to answer the call at the start here.

[Ignoramus]

Or perhaps the winner would get to lead one of the houses?

If that is really too much to gain for a simple tournament...

And what if the King won ? No, a simple gift of a fine horse or fine weapon would be more suitable and is much more related to what would have happened at the times.

I'm fine with that.

Econ, are you going to consider my suggestions, or do I have to put up my system?
