Congratulations, Soaringraven. Now if we could find a nifty ruleset for running jousts... Thank you for letting us play. Looking forward to next year Vermin King, the idea for the Tournament set came from a long-running Harnmaster campaign that featured tourney knights and the tourney circuit in Kaldor. I still have my house rules for this floating around somewhere. I can scrounge these up if you're interested - they won't be much use unless you play Harnmaster. PM me if you want to have them. |

Actually, I don't believe I have ever heard of Harnmaster before. It would be great if someone came up with a good generic ruleset for a tourney.

Congratulations, Soaringraven. Now if we could find a nifty ruleset for running jousts... Don't know about "nifty", but I found three free PDF download sets with little trouble on a quick search today: * Jousting Rules (3 pages, Lincoln Miniature Warfare Society). * The FlailSnail's Jousting Tourney (4 pages, by Mike Davison). * Tournament: Pageantry and Pain (55 pages, by Eric Farrington - lots of pretty illustrations). Haven't tried any however, but at this price, probably worth the risk. There are also paid-for sets in various places, such as on Wargames Vault, so there's plenty to choose from if these don't suit. And definitely many congratulations to soaringraven for a fine piece of creativity  |

Congratulations, your entry is truly wonderful and worthy.
If anyone can find an old first-edition set of the 1977 FGU Chivalry and Sorcery rules, there's a simple and brilliant set of jousting rules, which would do soaringraven's lovely entry justice.

If anyone can find an old first-edition set of the 1977 FGU Chivalry and Sorcery rules, there's a simple and brilliant set of jousting rules, which would do soaringraven's lovely entry justice. Not sure I'd really class C&S in any of its editions as "simple", as I've long found it far too complex to be workable as an RPG, for all its attempted realism. However, don't let that put you off finding out if you like it for yourself! I found a free PDF downloadable version here, which appears to be a genuine copy of 1st edition C&S, but redrafted to be actually readable. Although there seem to be some questions over its legality, it appears never to have been the subject of any actual legal proceedings, and remains available online in several places. If you're concerned though, it's worth reviewing the Red Book (C&S) Wikipedia page first. The Chivalry & Sorcery Wikipedia page is worth reading too, if you're interested in where the game came from and how it's developed over the years. There is also an electronic version of the most recent, 4th, edition available via the OBS sites, as a free download too. It comes in three volumes, although from a quick scan through, I'm not sure the jousting rules have survived as such, but I may simply have missed them. The combat rules are still VERY involved... In the 1st edition PDF rules though, look for "Tournament" on pages 70-74. |
