SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. DWES EG needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Too bad, CARNIVAL OF
CHAOS, but ALLERGY was just too good to be stopped. MVP award for HORROR OF YIG?
GWAR's proud of him after beating VETERAN MERCENARY and getting 20 points. Talk
about yer big time losers! AGONY GIGGLE got smashed by KUNG-FU MASTER, and lost 16
points! What a putz! RIDIS fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and
loses the title. No one said he was a genius... Was that a tear I saw in FISH's
eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't HAMBURGER TRAIN fit to be tied! Is
the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Hey you guys, don't you think your
families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. DWES EG is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

NEW NOVEL: "BLOOD GAMES"
Hail Gladiatorial Managers of Alastari,
My name is Mark G. Manley, AKA Grimwood, author of the Duel 2 novel, "Dark
Arena." The RSI staff and I are pleased to announce the next novel in the Duel 2
reality, "Blood Games." A publisher has offered a contract to publish the novel and
I'll continue to provide detailed updates as they become available. However, I wanted
to share a quick blurb about the novel.
* * *
WAR!
The land of Alastari is thrown into chaos caused by the invasion of the Rirorni
horde. Swept up in the conflict and captured is My-re, a young girl living on the
edge of the Rirorni plains. Regarded as a spoil of war and growing up in a Rirorni
family band, her troubles just begin as warlords within the Rirorni Empire fight each
other for prestige, property, and personal honor. For mutual protection, My-re is
taught the family band's Wall of Steel combat style, where if executed correctly, no
blade, no weapon, no arrow can penetrate.
In a land where life is dangerous, brutal, and short, My-re is confronted by a
prominent Rirorni warrior and kills him in self-defense. She is sold to a Rirorni
slaver after being found guilty of murder, and exiled back to her native land of
Alastari. However, there is no happy reunion, no joyful return, as she is sentenced
to fight in the Blood Games arena for her crime.
My-re's one chance of freedom resides in winning the Blood Game tournament. But
the champion is not declared by besting your opponents, but by slaughtering them.
* * *
As with novel "Dark Arena," I worked with RSI to write and publish "Blood Games"
in the Duel 2 world of Alastari. But it will always be known as Duelmasters to me.
I wanted to share a little bit of background about myself, I started my first
team back on turn 12 in Niania (Arena #2) on February 13, 1990. I managed a team
called Wolverines. The next summer at Gen Con, I started my main team, Skull Squadron
in Rocanis (Arena #56). The following summer at Gen Con, I stared Legion of Death, in
Valamantis (Arena #62). Twenty-five years later, I've graduated numerous warriors,
which would not be an easy feat to count.
Good luck on the arena sands and more to come.
