[PJ Coffey]

As this was one of the winner's of the poll conducted a couple of weeks ago, I hope you have a great Friday with this exciting mini draft of sports rules.

Congrats to Bedirthan! Glad to be working with you buddy!

Worlds To-Go: The Elysians has met it's funding goals for a wealth of content and is available until Friday 3rd Nov 4pm UK/11am EST/8am PST.

The goal is to lean into narrative contests rather than emulate combat.

All feedback is wonderful

It does seem to be the custom here to openly express doubts about my honesty. Goodness.

What a... unique... perspective. I guess we all have different life experiences.

If someone says something I don't understand I ask them about it. If I make a mistake, I say sorry.

Hmm.....Professional Athlete (Background) for those who are truly dedicated to a particular sport. Playoff Champion (Destiny). Sports Culture (Culture) for the fans of a particular sport.

FYI, I am not into any sports in RL. This was a moment of Bardic Inspiration.

Those are some very interesting ideas!

I think I really enjoyed playing a paladin of excellence in a game because they were so athletic. Makes me a little sad that I was so thoroughly turned off sport as a kid.

And now A5e has the Exalted Athlete archetype for the Adept class.

There should be a forum thread on what kind of sports (mundane, magical, or hybrid) could exist in D&D/Level Up setting.

My focus for this project was on creating sports that fit Elysia.


In my original blog on sports (with several thousand reads) here are the team sports I point out as fitting the eras of inspiration.

• Mob Ball (ball, foot, & goal)
• Town Ball (ball, stick, & safety)
• Lacrosse (ball, stick, & goal)
• Maya Ballgame (ball, stick/hip, & goal)
• Polo (ball, stick, horse, & goal)
• Dakyu (ball, stick, & goal with maybe horses)
• Buzkashi (animal head, horse, & goal)

Fantasy sports in Appendix N type things

• phandrel (team chasing-and-destination)
• quidditch (multiball, seeking, multigoals, flying)
• welters (chess with magical violence)
• Mage Tower and Silk Ball (from Strixhaven with very little description of either)
