Perhaps with a rough idea I could make some suggestions.Have you looked at the X-Crawl product? It is a d20 setting set in modern fantasy time where the biggest sport is televised dungeon crawls. That book may have ideas for you to steal.Plot ideas- Well, if the gladiators are slaves, then you could have them treated like cattle. Owners are constantly trading them- and they have to deal with the odd natures of each owner. You could have a gladiator whose enemies die mysteriously in the arena- without him touching them. The pc's need to figure out how he is doing it and how to avoid it- since they fight him next week.If you are using a high magic world- then you could use magic to make the arena's more.. fun. Like small portals to the plane of water flooding the battle area of the arena - and bringing some outerplanar creatures along for the fight.Or an arena that has a floor that randomly disappears at places- causing people to fall to their deaths. OR the arena floor is a series of wooden squares held by think ropes at each corner. There is a deep spiked put under the squares- allow fighters to defeat enemies by cutting the ropes of the squares they are on. This could lead to a lot of swinging about and such.Semi-thick ice over freezing water containing some kind of monster would also be fun- as the ice breaks apart, they have to worry about falling in and what might come out.Or battle the desert scene from Star Wars- a whirlpool of sand leading to tentcled monster at the bottom. There are pieces of jagged stone jutting along the sides of the sand- the fight continues until one side wins or both are eaten.Good luckSD</blockquote>
