REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Aha! I'm back!
There were sixteen fights today. No one died and no one avoided, but there were five
challenges.
DERAFF (35-4777) (31-43-2,190) of HOUSE JHEREG challenged SYE THE BEARDED (81-801)
(60-70-3,209) of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS. DERAFF was devastated by SYE THE BEARDED in a 1
minute mismatched Challenge fight. Sye the Bearded is our leading Striker.
BARNABUS CROW (20-501) (34-37-3,198) of I'M NOT EGGBERT challenged DIRTY DIAPERS (38-
5071) (75-90-2,201) of BASH BROS CHILDREN. BARNABUS CROW was demolished by DIRTY
DIAPERS in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge melee. As usual, Dirty Diapers is top
Basher.
MANAGING UP (32-6819) (26-23-0,179) of CON + INSULT challenged MOD COD (55-2638) (333-
209-5,185) of RHYME TYME. MANAGING UP was devastated by MOD COD in a 1 minute one-
sided Challenge contest. Of course, Mod Cod is our overall popularity leader, as
always. Why? He puts on a great show.
CARNATION (97-7598) (11-7-4,88) of FLOWER POWER challenged MR. BRATWURST (42-5106)
(29-20-0,93) of COLOR ME SUAVE. CARNATION overpowered MR. BRATWURST in a 1 minute
mismatched Challenge match.
TOUCH BASE (32-6828) (17-33-1,59) of CON + INSULT challenged SIMPLY AMAZING (28-5693)
(21-29-2,72) of BIG LAKE PURE. TOUCH BASE was vanquished by SIMPLY AMAZING in a 2
minute mismatched Challenge fight.
TANTRUM YOGA (42-4563) (81-61-3,232) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought INIGO MONTOYA (33-8054)
(66-65-3,247) of BIG LAKE BANDITS. TANTRUM YOGA was bested by INIGO MONTOYA in a 2
minute Title competition. As always, Mr. Montoya is top Slasher. Tantrum Yoga is our
leading Parry-Lunge.
CHATROOMMATE (18-10034) (89-59-0,222) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought QUICK (81-2926) (40-
36-2,186) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION. CHATROOMMATE was overpowered by QUICK in a 2 minute
uneven melee. Quick is our highest ranked Parry-Riposte.
JEDI YETI (18-10860) (40-40-2,270) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought OUT FOR A DUCK (83-275)
(27-44-0,198) of BAD SIGNS. JEDI YETI was viciously subdued by OUT FOR A DUCK in an
action packed 8 minute duel. The Yeti is this turn's favorite because some folks
think he got scummed. He's also top Lunger.
HARD KNOCKS (42-4555) (78-63-0,212) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought BURM WOLFSNARL (81-113)
(74-61-0,203) of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS. HARD KNOCKS viciously subdued BURM WOLFSNARL in a
popular 4 minute gory duel. Burm Wolfsnarl is the top Total Parry. Mr. Knocks is our
best Aimed Blow. Back when I was fighting, they used to say a good Aimed Blow would
make a better something else. These days, it's a popular style.
RESTRAINED CONTEMPT (28-5472) (49-47-4,190) of BIG LAKE PURE fought RAYNER (20-182)
(52-71-3,174) of DEADLINE. RESTRAINED CONTEMPT savagely defeated RAYNER in a popular
6 minute gory melee. Restrained Contempt is our leading Wall of Steel.

minute mismatched match.

2940) (47-28-0,160) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION. BALDING GRAY was handily defeated by THE
LEPER'S HAND in a 1 minute one-sided contest.
$5 PROMINATOR (42-5107) (27-19-0,114) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought IMPRISONED SPY (107-9)
(0-0-0,170). $5 PROMINATOR was demolished by IMPRISONED SPY in a 1 minute one-sided
brawl.
TEM OF SMALLCLIFF (35-4865) (20-13-2,75) of HOUSE JHEREG fought MR RIGHT HANDED (72-
6876) (49-77-2,74) of BASH BROS TIRES. TEM OF SMALLCLIFF was viciously subdued by MR
RIGHT HANDED in a 2 minute conflict. Mr Right Handed is our most highly ranked Parry-
Strike.
MORYA CHAMPION (28-5723) (17-17-0,67) of BIG LAKE PURE fought FLAT (72-6880) (37-24-
2,30) of BASH BROS TIRES. MORYA CHAMPION was overpowered by FLAT in a 1 minute uneven
struggle. Morya Champion was voted this turn's least favorite fighter. Why? I have
no idea.
I'M POWERLESS (59-2629) (62-111-1,84) of BASHAHOLICS ANON fought UNEMPLOYED PERSON
(107-5) (0-0-0,70). I'M POWERLESS handily defeated UNEMPLOYED PERSON in a 1 minute
mismatched bout.
Well, that's all for now. Have a fine two weeks. Or at least, don't get in trouble.

RSI PANDEMIC UPDATE
We're doing okay out here in Arizona, staying mostly quiet and trying to stay healthy,
and we hope you and your families are well. Things are super weird right now.
Here's a quick update on what's coming up:
Summer 2020 Face-to-Face: In case there is any lingering doubt, the 2020 summer face-
to-face is cancelled. It just doesn't seem wise to hold it, and feedback is that most
of you would not be able to attend. Better to stay safe and stay at home, this time.
Summer 2020 Mail-In: So we'll hold a mail-in tournament this summer. It will be held
on the weekend of July 17-19, 2020. We are still finalizing the format--look for the
tournament announcement shortly after the freeze on June 6th.
Halloween 2020 Mail-In: Should be able to take place as normal. We bandied about the
idea of having a Fall FTF, but that doesn't look like a good idea.
Winter 2021 Face-to-Face: We have already secured a contract for the Winter FTF in
Tempe for our usual Martin Luther King weekend, January 15-17, 2021 and are crossing
our fingers that we will be able to hold that tournament in person, but there is still
some chance that we will need to cancel it as well. I expect we will know for certain
in November or December. Please mark it on your calendars and feel free to get hotel
reservations, but don't buy non-refundable plane tickets! (We are waiting for the
group code for reservations and will post it when we get it.)
Summer 2021 Face-to-Face: Surely we'll be able to have this one! *crossed fingers*
We're looking at the midwest cities for this one (Cincinnati or Minneapolis), so stay
tuned.

THE BLOODGAMES HAVE RETURNED!
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 three will be crowned
Bloodgames Champions and be invited to the Isle of the Eye! 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!
By popular demand, we will hold THREE Bloodgames arenas -- a regular and slow
Bloodgames by mail, and a Bloodgames which will run with the mail-in tourney!
DM 95: slow bloodgames (due every four weeks, due July 20)
DM 98: regular speed bloodgames (due every two weeks, due July 20)
DM 99: mail-in style bloodgames (processed with the tourney, due July 15)
Gameplay in the Bloodgames proceeds according to standard DM rules, except for a few
notable exceptions:
* STARTING A BLOODGAMES TEAM -- You don't need a special rollup to enter the
bloodgames. Your Bloodgames team is ten warriors, one of each fighting style, each
warrior designed from scratch! (All are 84 points, 3-21, as usual.) Simply list your
ten warriors and send them to us; we will send you back overviews of your warriors so
you can submit strategies. The first turn is due mid-July and subsequent turns will
be due on Mondays.
* 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. There are no
replacements -- once a warrior dies, that's it!
* STRATEGIES AND CHALLENGES -- New strategies may be issued for each turn for the
regular and slow bloodgames, while the mail-in bloodgames will process all ten rounds
with a single strategy. The only type of challenge available is a bloodfeud.
* 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. Bloodgames
Champions may write a column for the newsletter at the end of the games.
* AWARDS -- The Bloodgames last ten rounds. The top three living warriors with the
greatest number of kills, only one of each style, are deemed Bloodgames Champions.
Win/loss records and, if necessary, recognition points will only be used to determine
awards if there is a tie. All three Bloodgames Champions fight for free for six
months and can issue one Tournament Victor challenge each turn, allowing them to
challenge with increased priority, also for six months.
* FEES -- A Bloodgames rollup costs a $10 set-up fee. Managers may roll up additional
teams but may fight only one team in each arena. The fee is $49 for all 10 rounds.
* 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 Bloodgames Champions: 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!
