REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Hey there.
Thirteen fights today, two challenges, no deaths, and Bash Bros Body avoided Bad
Signs. And there were three stand-ins.
SPAWN'S BLUE BEER (83-403) (54-38-0,250) of BAD SIGNS challenged TAX PENALTY (72-
7311) (62-58-2,194) of BASH BROS MARRIAGE. SPAWN'S BLUE BEER devastated TAX PENALTY
in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. Spawn's Blue Beer is Storm Rock's premier
Aimed Blow.
OUT FOR A DUCK (83-275) (38-71-0,198) of BAD SIGNS challenged THE OVEN BIRD (75-
3934) (41-20-1,265) of DEFROSTED. OUT FOR A DUCK won victory over THE OVEN BIRD in a
5 minute Challenge battle. Out for a Duck won 20 recognition points for facing The
Oven Bird (a duck?). And The Oven Bird is no longer our top Wall of Steel.
MOD COD (55-2638) (425-226-5,280) of RHYME TYME fought TOUCH BASE (32-6828) (60-
74-1,222) of CON + INSULT. MOD COD was demolished by TOUCH BASE in a crowd pleasing 1
minute uneven Title fight. So, Mod Cod is no longer the Tower Guardian nor the top
Lunger. But it is still the overall popularity leader. And Touch Base is now
Champion of the Horn, and top Lunger.
JAVELINO (56-3728) (57-65-1,196) of REDHORSE fought THE BLACKSMITH (107-22) (0-0-
0,181). JAVELINO was bested by THE BLACKSMITH in a popular 3 minute brutal fight.
Javelino has lost his position as the top Striker.
RAT SOLDIER (62-5152) (41-24-0,186) of RODENTIAN NATION fought HUMMINGBIRD (56-
3475) (90-114-0,199) of REDHORSE. RAT SOLDIER was devastated by HUMMINGBIRD in a
popular 1 minute uneven brawl. Hummingbird remains our top Slasher.
NARSIL (81-3401) (50-27-1,187) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought TEM OF SMALLCLIFF (35-
4865) (52-64-4,210) of HOUSE JHEREG. NARSIL was viciously subdued by TEM OF
SMALLCLIFF in a crowd pleasing 4 minute match. Narsil is our best Total Parry, while
Tem of Smallcliff is the best Wall of Steel. Mr. of Smallcliff is also this turn's
favorite fighter.
RENEGADE-RAT (41-388) (35-30-3,183) of RAT PAK fought SHOPPING CART (72-6836)
(57-69-1,175) of BASH BROS ROADSIDE. RENEGADE-RAT was savagely defeated by SHOPPING
CART in an action packed 5 minute melee.
SHARK (31-6525) (51-87-0,195) of BASH BROS OCEAN fought MOOSE (56-3459) (66-92-
0,174) of REDHORSE. SHARK was vanquished by MOOSE in an action packed 1 minute one-
sided duel. Shark lost 22 points, and Moose is now the top Striker.
RAYNER (20-182) (94-138-3,185) of DEADLINE fought BROKEN TOE (56-3683) (67-86-
1,161) of REDHORSE. RAYNER vanquished BROKEN TOE in a 1 minute one-sided fight.
Rayner is our leading Parry-Riposte, while Broken Toe is now the least popular fighter
in Storm Rock.
MARVIN HAGLER (16-887) (48-61-2,195) of BASH BROS. DOCTOR fought BUCK (1-2291)
(73-149-0,153) of MOSSRUNNERS. MARVIN HAGLER savagely defeated BUCK in a popular 3
minute gory melee. Marvin Hagler is the highest ranked Basher.
RINGIL (81-3633) (33-19-1,159) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought HEADACHE (28-5609) (44-55-
1,150) of BASH BROS BODY. RINGIL was savagely defeated by HEADACHE in a crowd
pleasing 2 minute bloody match.
ANDURIL (81-3435) (34-33-1,93) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought AMBER WOLFWALKER (107-11)
(0-0-0,92). ANDURIL was viciously subdued by AMBER WOLFWALKER in an exciting 2 minute
battle.
GURTHANG (81-3403) (33-31-2,68) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought CAPTURED PIRATE KING
(107-2) (0-0-0,30). GURTHANG savagely defeated CAPTURED PIRATE KING in a crowd
pleasing 2 minute conflict.
Not much else to say, We've been having quiet turns lately. You guys, try to spice
it up, will you?

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Rirorni Soldier -- Killing you doesn't even come close to making up for all the losses
my team has suffered at the hands of you (1) guys. It was a joy watching you bleed out
on the sands! -- Anduril
Villainous Informer -- A new (1) opponent. Nice of you to fall to my mighty Epee! --
Narsil

next time. -- Rat Soldier
Moose -- Did Broken Toe give you bad advice to use vs me? -- Renegade-Rat
Marvin Hagler -- Why you try to kill me? We just met. /smdh -- Ringil
Unemployed Person -- How can you be unemployed when you're paid to fight in the arena?
Idiot. -- Gurthang

there. -- Buck

armor is pretty. -- Hummingbird

Good for you. -- Moose
Headache -- I didn't think I hit you that hard. -- Broken Toe
Boss Rat -- Yup, I hear you. Personal ads aren't too lively anymore. I've been

SUMMER BLOODGAMES 2024
Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena
beginning in August. 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. 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 Turn 1 is due Fri July 12 at 9pm at the hotel
Bloodgames (DM 98): Turns process with the tournament
Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only
Mail-in style Turn 1 is due Sat July 13 at 9pm at the hotel
Bloodgames (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 Thurs August 1
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.
TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- DM 95 is due August 1 and will process on a 28-day
schedule. The other two bloodgames arenas will be processed at the summer Face-to-
Face. (Note: there will also be bloodgames at the next winter FTF.)
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!
