Could we get a list of the Tourney events and rules? Thx.

Indeed, inquiring minds would like to know. :)
 
I promise there will be a newsletter article about it soon. I also promise to update this post with an out of game synopsis.

Give me about 24-48 hours.

Quick synopsis. The article will give more information and full information will be available at the event (yes, there is some FOIG here).

7 Events.

Dueling - One on one weapon combat. Will span the entire weekend.
Grand Melee - Free for all combat. All skills allowed. Last man standing.
Race - Run around camp. All skills allowed to be used to hinder others. Audience participation permitted.
Throwing - Throw knives at targets. Thrown weapon ability required to participate.
Knowledge - Essentially trivia mixed with puzzles. Will span the entire weekend.
The Hunt - Find items on hunt list. Majority of hunt list will be found on things that fight back. Hunt list will given verbally.
Entertainment - Exact details still pending plot negotiation.

Can we make sure that this year's race course does NOT take the participants through a nest of ground wasps or similar hazard? As much fun as I may have had playing healer out-of-game, pumping people full of benadryl should not be a tournament task.
 
Indeed, as I will yet again be missing an event due to work so you will be down a provider or two. This was regularly scheduled work though, just can't always work events in the weekend schedule. Thankfully, we have some trained new people!

I was looking forward to playing an Orc too :(
 
...just happy to be the subject of Michelle's post.

To be fair, there was no definite path- I'm the idiot that managed to land on juuust the wrong spot.

This may be true but the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so when designing the course, even if the intent is for them to run around a bend, please investigate where said straight line would take the racers. ;)
 
I'm sure we'll find out when Mike posts the rules...
 
Entertainment - The usual. Remember orcs are judging.

And, despite the massive number of requests, Benadryl Injections will not be on the event roster this year.

No archery? :(

Maybe Drak will have to run his own ad hoc archery tournament.

No spellcasting mele/duals specifically? :(

No, and given the current pre-reg list, I am feeling that was definitely the right decision. It is a major resource draining event, which always hurts on low attendance weekends.

Honestly, there were two factors in event planning.
1) IG appropriateness
2) Weekend planning. Amelia has a heavily packed weekend and tournament events seriously eat into time. We tried to make the events as time light as possible and tried not to have too many.

The Grand Melee is sorta the catch-all event for anyone with any skills to participate in. Though, personally, I would LOVE to see a wand dueling event sometime in the near future (props to Henry for that suggestion).

-MS
 
Wand dueling would be fantastic! That wouldn't even really hurt resources that much. :)

If we could get enough celestial scholars (at least 4) I'd love it if you could add that event.

Still sadness for no spellcasting... There are always more monsters... but getting to dual other actual PC's is always a highlight of tournaments for me, oh well.
