  • Welcome to the Fighting Pits! Here you can bet on the outcomes of fights between various creatures, beasts, and monsters.

    The rules are simple:

    1. The Host will announce a match and the amount of time until the match starts.

    2. Spectators during this time may post which creature they think will win and how much they want to wager like so: Creature Name: Wager. Please open an account at the Bank before betting.

    3. After the announced time has passed, the Host announces “No more bets!” locking in the wagers.

    4. The match then begins, which the Host plays and posts at their discretion, though in a timely manner.

    5. Combat will occur as such: At the beginning of each round, each creature will get a roll for initiative (determined by their Agility stat), which will establish which creature attacks first. Each creature will then attack each other (determined by their Attack stat) in the round's combat order. This process continues until only one creature is left alive.

    6. If a spectator’s creature wins, then they will receive the amount they wagered in earnings; conversely, if their creature loses, then they’ll lose the amount they wagered.

    All creatures, beasts, and monsters available for matches in Fighting Pits can be found at the Bestiary.

    The first couple games will most likely be practice to get everyone acquainted with the game as well as make sure logistics are down and that the game is balanced. I have plans for some new features and game types, but I want to make sure the base game is solid first. I hope to have it ready for the Summersend Festival, so the first game will start very soon. Also, as the Games Master, I will be the only one to host games until further notice.

    If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or ideas, please post them below. I may change how some things work with time as this is completely new.

    Enjoy, and play responsibly. :)

    Yes, I'll most definitely be using creatures from "Oh, the creatures you'll find in Wintreath..." as they're the ones in our "universe" and so will be in most abundance. I'll most likely be creating a bestiary thread, which will detail all of the creatures that may show up in the games (expect some monster fights in the Arena) and will act as a place where people can request creatures to be used in future games. Until then, I'll create a little section in the OP that will list the current possible creatures.

    Also, I HIGHLY encourage people to create more creatures and post them in the "Oh, the creatures you'll find in Wintreath..." thread, so we'll have more variety, plus it'll be interesting to see something you came up with come to life.

    I'll also most likely be taking creatures from various established universes (such as the Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, and Fallout) as, again, it'll give more variety, though they'll be more rare. Think of it as people are going out to catch these creatures; it's cheaper, easier, and seemingly less dangerous to hunt in our universe as it's more familiar to the hunters than other universes.

    I'll be posting the first match either tonight or tomorrow, so stay tuned. :)

    Well, I have some free time this week, so I'll see how much I can add to that thread ;)
