Fourthcore Team Deathmatch

[CStevenRoss]

hey hey,

This is an unofficial event I'm running at GenCon that I'm really excited about. I think it has a lot of potential to twist D&D in ways a lot of us have never really seen before, to push the boundaries of what the rules can really do, and perfect for a large convention setting. Victory and glory await those who can tame the most dangerous of foes: other adventurers!


The Fourthcore Team Deathmatch will be a contest of skill, wits, and luck; available only at GenCon. Small teams of dungeoneers will be pitted against each other in a no-holds-barred frenzy of carnage. Eight groups will compete against each other in a team-based, player-vs-player competition.
The Fourthcore Team Deathmatch will take place on Friday August 5th 2011 (Night #2), at 3:00 PM; location to be determined.

The competition will consist of a ladder style tournament. Teams will be seeded randomly. The first two encounters will last 60 minutes each, with a 10-15 minute break in between encounters. The final encounter will last 75 minutes long. The winning team will awarded Trophies of Honor to celebrate their glorious victory over their fellow D&D players.

Please film this event!!!!!!

Thanks for the enthusiasm and support!!! I take it you won't be able to witness this in person?

Sersa and I have been kicking around the idea of "live" podcasting this, or perhaps just the final match; recording it on site and doing a quick edit so it can be uploaded that day. A full filming though, that would be sweet!

Why not put this out on the general or th main 4e forum? I'm really surprised you haven't had more feedback!

No, I won't be there I live in Spain.

I don't know, it's definitely a different way to play 4E, so I thought the House Rules area would be better. If you think it's more appropriate in the General forum, maybe I should ...

Exciting news though! It made it through the red tape and will be available to register for starting tomorrow when GenCon registration opens! Woot!
