DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I have returned! I'm now a 3 time Duelmaster and my dear old dad always told me I
wouldn't amount to nothing. Who cares about the bonus coin I won, I like sitting on
the throne and polishing the seat with my butt. Hahaha I had a great fight against
Xobias for the title. Way to step up, dude. My five awesome damage hits on Xobias with
my mighty battleaxe left Xobias baffled, demoralized and defeated. It's the nature of
the fight game. Ok, I'll fess up. It was Xobias who hit me numerous times before my
deadly attack of demoralization did him in. Come on, did you all really think I
attacked him? I do need to have a talk to whoever is responsible for me learning that
decisiveness skill? Decis? Really? What a waste.
As a side note, I'd like to comment that my last three fights have been against Clan
Longbeard, all random, and I won them all. My team finally has a winning record
against them. Those guys have been tough on us orcs, in the past. Well, besides
ripping Jim Tully for not writing a Duelmaster's column, I guess I'm done here. I've
submitted my challenges for my title defense, so here's hoping I get them. Not all
that important tho as all I care about is winning. Til next time.
-- Narsil
Duelmaster of Shadowspire
SPY REPORT
Deep Six has been jumping up through the rankings. He only had one loss going into
today's matches. This makes for a great match up story. Fast rising warrior meets
the grizzled veteran sitting on the throne for a chance at glory. Narsil faced Deep
Six for the championship today, and it was a long fight! Narsil stood around for 14-
minutes and took everything Deep Six had to offer, and it wasn't enough. Narsil
remains our Duelmaster. he did not get an invite, so he gets to defend it again next
cycle. Narsil is managed Boss Orc.
I will once again express my disappointment in all of you for the lack of kills.
There is one kill listed today and it happened a few turns back. What are you bums
doing in here? Are you not trying? Worse yet, are you actually trying and just suck
this bad at it? Xobias took note of Otto the Great and went after him! I loved it,
and it was all legal by most people standards since it was a bloodfeud.
Time for this turn's stats. Let's see how you guys stacked up. Eh, let's see how you
tried to stack up, don't want you thinking too highly of yourselves.
Total Fights: 28 (-5 from last turn)
Dark Arena Deaths: 0
Non-DA Deaths: 0
Challenges: 9 (4-5 for the challengers)
Largest Up-Challenge: 20 points - THE LIMPER was savagely defeated by MANGONEL
in a 3 minute master's Challenge duel.
Largest Down Challenge: 27 points - KAIBOSH bested STING in a 4 minute Challenge
brawl.
For our most avoided team today, we go back to an oldy and not so goody in Kill 'Em
All. Oh, and looky here, we find Pray the Gods as the team that avoided them the
most. Just like old times, until you realize nostalgia is for chumps! I guess I
can't blame most of you teams for avoiding KEA with all the down challenging, but
since this place is like a killing desert, I also don't know what all the fuss is
about. It is like you bums are running out there with blunted weapons and tickling
one another. Sheesh, is Sidara having this problem over in the Andorian arena? No
one was really the most challenged warrior this turn. As you saw with the stats,
there were not that many challenges.
Xobias and Mangonel are gone after the next turn. I guess this can be both a positive
and a negative. It's hard to argue against being immortal. It is also good that I
have 2 fewer bums to talk about now, but those teams have been here a long time, so
I'm sure they will replace them. Okay, so maybe that is negative because I have to
learn new names. Bah, there is no winning in this job!
Alright, time to get up out of here and hit Otto's for a drink or 5. Narsil doesn't
look like he is going anywhere anytime soon, so another title defense. Can he beat
the record for most consecutive turns as Duelmaster? A Total Parry currently holds
that record, so I would say he has a shot unless one of these upstarts gets to him
first. Come back next turn and see if he can hold onto it. We might be chatting
about this a bit prematurely.

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
Algernon, who had NOT gotten the name change he'd asked for, looked at the latest
petitioner. This was a typical gladiator, big, muscular, and scarred, with a frown.
"Ah, what can I do for you?"
"Name change. I heard we can do that. I'm tired of being Jane Doe."
"I'd think you would be," Algernon said faintly. "The Commission has actually
been thinking about this. It isn't FREE, mind you! It takes money to run our office,
you know, and we want to buy some goats--"
"I don't care about goats!" He made a crude suggestion about goats.
"Or maybe chickens. Or bees--" Algernon took a quick step back at the look on the
rough warrior's face. "Yes, a name change. Right away, sir. We can do that.
Gladiators, teams, it will cost you two dollars to make a change--"
"I had a talk with my manager. He'll find the money. I want to change my name
to Jane Ralph. I'm no doe!" He thumped a fist on the counter.
"Er, yes. Jane Ralph. Fill out this form, please." He pushed the paper across
the counter. "The changes start on the 15th of April--that's the Ides, you know, and
can be submitted through the end of May. With the payment. No change without the
goat, ah, the gold."
* * * * *
Warrior and team name changes will be accepted beginning April 15 and continuing
throughout the month of May. The cost will be $2 per name change. All proceeds will
be used to buy goats via Heifer International and will be matched up to $500.
If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
WINTER BLOODGAMES 2022
Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena
beginning in late April. We also plan our usual Bloodgames arenas at the summer Face-
to-Face.
For those of you who always wanted the chance to manage the
last warrior standing alive upon the arena sands, your day has come. 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:
Slow Bloodgames (DM 95): Turn 1 is due Weds April 27
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.
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 this turn-based bloodgames, there are no regular
challenges, only bloodfeuds. There will be no DA challenges in either arena.
TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- DM 95 is due April 27 and will process on a 28-day
schedule.
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, and Bloodgames Runner-up titles, 4th
through 6th 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
six 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.
A Bloodgames T-shirts will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills.
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, Victors, and Runners-up will receive Bloodgames T-shirts.
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!
