Storm Rock,
I sit atop your throne.
Although you might squawk, I rock.
You don't, because I own
This stone.

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Salutations, O Brave Ones!
There were ten fights in the arena today, and just one outside of the arena. No
one challenged anyone. Six fights were against stand-ins. All in all, it was not a
very exciting day, but perhaps the great warriors of Storm Rock are husbanding their
energies for a much more spectacular showing next turn!
MOD COD (55-2638) (272-188-4,278) of RHYME TYME fought ALMOST PRETTY (42-4496)
(134-70-0,225) of COLOR ME SUAVE. MOD COD devastated ALMOST PRETTY in a 1 minute
mismatched Title fight. Of course, Mod Cod is Storm Rock's most admired Lunger, as
well as being the Champion of the Horn.
1977 AMC MATADOR (42-4116) (118-87-0,243) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought GOJIRO (107-
31) (0-0-0,220) of . 1977 AMC MATADOR slimly lost to GOJIRO in an action packed 3
minute brutal battle. The valiant Matador was voted the favorite fighter this turn.
THE HYPHEN-DASH (42-4499) (85-80-1,257) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought ARENAMASTER
SANDAVOL (107-28) (0-0-0,200) of . THE HYPHEN-DASH overpowered ARENAMASTER SANDAVOL
in a 1 minute mismatched duel. Defeating the Arenamaster is quite an impressive feat!
Well done, well done!
JELLO KNUCKLES (42-4554) (92-85-0,210) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought RIRORNI CAPTAIN
(107-26) (0-0-0,200) of . JELLO KNUCKLES defeated RIRORNI CAPTAIN in a 2 minute
match. Jello Knuckles is this arena's most recognized Total Parry, and quite
impressive at that.
BEDDER (18-10043) (60-101-3,183) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought SYE THE BEARDED (81-
801) (37-19-1,180) of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS. BEDDER devastated SYE THE BEARDED in a
popular 1 minute uneven brawl. Bedder is the arena's bes Striker, also the overall
popularity leader here.
CHATROOMMATE (18-10034) (35-31-0,157) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought BURM WOLFSNARL
(81-113) (39-22-0,163) of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS. CHATROOMATE was devastated by BURM
WOLFSNARL in a 1 minute mismatched match. Chatroommate is our top Parry-Lunge.
HARD KNOCKS (42-4555) (31-28-0,167) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought RIRORNI CAPTAIN
(107-26) (0-0-0,200) of . HARD KNOCKS was handily defeated by RIRORNI CAPTAIN in a 1
minute uneven fight. Hard Knocks is still, of course, our most dangerous Aimed Blow.
Inigo Montoya is our most highly celebrated Slasher. INIGO MONTOYA (33-8054)
(33-24-2,137) of BIG LAKE BANDITS fought TANTRUM YOGA (42-4563) (33-27-2,125) of COLOR
ME SUAVE. INIGO MONTOYA was vanquished by TANTRUM YOGA in a popular 1 minute uneven
duel.
I'M POWERLESS (59-2629) (32-59-0,28) of BASHAHOLICS ANON fought RIRORNI SOLDIER
(107-3) (0-0-0,30) of . I'M POWERLESS was vanquished by RIRORNI SOLDIER in a 1
minute one-sided duel.
DIRTY DIAPERS (38-5071) (34-49-1,34) of BASH BROS CHILDREN fought CAPTURED PIRATE
KING (107-2) (0-0-0,30) of . DIRTY DIAPERS assassinated CAPTURED PIRATE KING in a
popular 1 minute uneven match. Dirty Diapers is Storm Rock's top Basher, and what a
disturbing image that presents.
And that, my Storm Rockers, is all there is to say this turn. Let us fervently
hope that the next two weeks bring us a surfeit of thrilling combat!

BLOODGAMES AND MORE BLOODGAMES!
The Mail-in Bloodgames that were set to run at Face-to-Face 58 in January did not
process because we had trouble with the warrior data for that arena. Unfortunately,
the warrior data was irretrievably lost. We have credited everyone for those teams.
So here's what we're going to do:
We will hold a replacement Mail-in Bloodgames (DM 97) on June 17. To participate,
submit your team (10 warriors, design-your-own, one of each style). When we receive
your team "rollup", we will send you back warrior overviews. Your strategies for the
Replacement Mail-in Bloodgames (DM 97) are due June 17. We will process all ten
rounds, one after another, and mail all results later that week. The costs and
Bloodgames rules will remain the same.
In addition to this, we will also hold another Bloodgames (DM 95), but this one will
process as a slow arena. Design your teams in the same way: 10 warriors, design-
your-own, one warrior of each fighting style. Managers may submit turn input each
round for their warriors, similar to the Face-to-Face style Bloodgames (no challenges,
only Bloodfeuds). Your strategies for the first round of the Arena Bloodgames (DM 95)
are due on June 24. This arena will run ten rounds, once every four weeks.
The Summer Face-to-Face is coming up and we will hold the regularly scheduled Face-to-
Face style and Mail-in style Bloodgames there, as well. We hope everyone will enjoy
one or more of these Bloodgames arenas!

BLOODGAMES at the SUMMER FACE-TO-FACE
Back by popular demand, we will be having Bloodgames at the Summer FTF! 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. There
will be two different arenas:
FTF-Style (DM 98): for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies
Mail-in-Style (DM 99): for all managers, with one strategy for all ten rounds
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 84 points, 3-21, as usual.)
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 FTF-style bloodgames, there are no regular
challenges, only bloodfeuds. For the Mail-in arena, warriors may not change their
strategy from round to round (to make it fair for those who could not attend the
FTF). There will be no DA challenges in either arena.
TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- If you are not attending the FTF, we must have your
rollups and strategies by the Wednesday before the FTF, else they are due by 9pm on
Friday, at the hotel. The Bloodgames will process at the FTF with the regular
tournament.
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!
