I wrote a while
ago about new house rules I was going to implement for Jousting
in my GPC game. Well, I finally got to
test it out this past weekend as my group found themselves at the Roman Tournament. Three characters entered the joust and all
three managed to make it to the 4th round before being
defeated. Not to toot my own trumpet, but
I think the new rules worked rather well.
At least one contest was decided by a single point. A few NPC knights were forced to retire due
to injuries, thanks to some crits by the Player Knights, but for the most part
this joust has quite the sporting feel.
I was a little disappointed that we didn’t see a PK vs. PK joust, but as
we’re quickly coming to an end of the Conquest Period, I’m sure that will show
up soon. I’d love to hear of any other
experiences with these rules, or if anyone has any other variant rules for
doing jousts.
The general and disconnected musings of your average, middle-aged geek. All from the rather odd mind of Eugene R. Hendricks.
