[QUOTE="Richards, post: 557678, member: 508"] You might be able to plunder "Challenge of Champions IV" from [I]Dungeon[/I] #91 for some ideas. It's a contest of four-person teams going through ten scenarios where they have to (usually) figure out how to use the starting equipment they were given to get from Point A to Point B. There are usually obstacles of some sort in the way, and much of it is puzzle-solving in nature. Best of all, it's built as to be equally challenging for PCs of any level (so a 20th-level wizard should have no advantage over a 1st-level wizard). The first three "Challenge of Champions" adventures appeared in [I]Dungeon[/I] issues #58, 69, and 80, but they were all written using the AD&D 2nd Edition rules, and so would require some slight conversions. Still, you could easily plunder them for ideas. More generically, have you seen [I]Tournaments, Fairs, and Taverns[/I] from Natural 20 Press? It's just now becoming available as a paper product, but you should be able to download it as an ESD from the EN World Online Store. It's supposed to have some "generic" rules about how to set up contests of the sort you're proposing. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
