SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly STORMCROWE games. Former top team DRACO was unseated
this week as OF WOLF & GIANT moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a
5-0-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week GOING BERSERK went 5-0-0 to move up 7 in the rankings.
My praise to FAVORITE SAYINGS 7 for their 4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a
skillfully fought round deserving of notice! KOKILA caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SHIELDGORE and was awarded 28 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, MAULY TOV put down
DENNORUS, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. This time out
SHASTAR VIDYA made hers bid for the throne as she challenged HORRACH in an all out
contest of skill for possession of the title! This time victory fell to the grasp of
the usurper. All hail SHASTAR VIDYA, Duelmaster of STORMCROWE! Would you believe
that over half of the old women in STORMCROWE seem to feel that they could fight
better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city STORMCROWE. STORMCROWE, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of
thy guilds is OF WOLF & GIANT, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. Apparently the stalwarts of GOING BERSERK are catching the bulk of jests down
at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after VASTERPOL. Watch your back! As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of fear
lays hold of hers heart. True, TASTY LACEY? Who could miss your "brave" challenge
of BETH DAVENPORT? Few would not have guessed the outcome of the bout as BETH
DAVENPORT was overcame by TASTY LACEY. Is this what passes for courage in
STORMCROWE? A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that
PEANUT SALESMAN posted a challenge against the more highly recognized BIG BEN. The
results, you ask? Well, the firebrand PEANUT SALESMAN was defeated by BIG BEN.
Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. I can not but mention with
disdain the name of ELTANIN who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 8
points below in the rankings. I thought ELTANIN showed great skill and promise when
she was defeated by DANTIOCH. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I must report the passing of VORTABA, veteran of
many duels. 5-4-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no
favorites. 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? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms
no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Ouchie, ouchie, ouchie! Kowabunga! -- A Consortium noticing a uniquie flop
Ah, Draco, the bumbler! He was supposed to kill Dumbledore, but he chickened out and
it fell on Eltanin from the Fratsfan house to fill in. That imbecile missed the Big D
and hit poor little Chesty who was just standing by watching. The friendly little 17-
14-5-15-8-16-9 not-so-godling-basher got stuck instead and went to his grave cursing
Dracoites everywhere, including Draco's father, OAB, and his run at KOP. The curse
words cannot be reported in this professional content. -- Uniquie One him/herself

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!
