Fantasy Gladiators

 

As some of you may know we released Arena of Blood last year and it turned out to be more versatile than I hoped. After a few historical tournaments, I started running The Great Goblin Games. An Olympic style day of different games between the goblin tribes to decide who would be the best tribe and making their chief the Great Goblin.

 There was a Wolf Chariot race, a joust, Squig Tickling, a Doom Diver distance contest and finally a gladiatorial match. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I simply matched existing Gladiator types to fantasy creatures. A heavily armored Murmillo makes an excellent ogre type, while a bow Sagitarius makes a nice Elf Bowman. Simple.

 I soon realized this worked across other genres. I could easily run a John Carter type match on Mars or stage fights between Gamorrians for the enjoyments of the Hutts. And post Apocalyptic matches are perfect!

If you're interested in the rules, the pdf is cheap, and you can check out our YouTube videos on how the game works.

Fistful of Lead Fantasy!

The Wiley Games Fistful of Lead: Fantasy books are the most underrated and underused titles we have. 

“Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of.”

A lot of games out there force you into specific builds like Wizard, Apprentice and Henchmen, or factions. Fistful of Lead Fantasy lets you build your Retinue the way you want. Want the classic Barbarian, Wizard, Cleric Thief group? You got it. Want an all monster group, or thieves or undead? These rules are for you.
