I've got a good feeling about Merp. I think this is his year to win it all.

Loved the Preseason!!! Looking forward to the season! I feel like the Bull Man has the good chance to bring home the title this year

The Killer Kobolds will be taking on the goblin Firestormers in a single elimination bout! The winner will go on to the seminfinals... and the losers are otyugh food.

I would think both teams are otyugh food - after all, an Otyugh is level four, and most team members are five levels lower.

This looks like a lot of fun!

You can catch all four preseason matches on my YouTube to get a sense of what the show is all about. They start out a bit rough, as we were still working out the technical parts of airing a live arena combat game, but you can certainly get a look at all 8 teams and how the show is going to play out.

I am super excited for this to go live on Saturday, now as part of Roll20Con!

I find it interesting that when people talked about stuff like this for 5e people raged but pathfinder ... whoa so cool!

so political

But, This looks cool! I love old school tournaments. I think there is a lot of room for this sorta of things in any system. Hope it does well.

Hmmmm. I’m a killer kobold fan but I don’t think they can make the finals. That being said, here are my picks:

Semifinals:
Killer Kobolds
Bull man
Ogre Brothers
Poison Shadows

Finals:
First: Ogre Brothers
Second: Bull man
Third: Poison Shadows

Ages ago during the d20 blut, when anybody and everybody was creating some new monster of prestige class, my friends and I used to test them out in combat via arena fights. Nice to see this return with Paizo.

We are less than 3 HOURS away from the launch of the first season of MAUL.

Tune in at 4pm (PST) over on my Twitch channel to catch all the action!
