Fantasy sports: Graeme Davis on popular sports and athletic tavern games

Davis looks at popular sports and athletic tavern games and suggests ways to handle them in gaming.

No, not that kind of fantasy sports (but then, you already know that unless you’re new to Fenix – in which case, welcome!). Medieval Europe forms the basis for most fantasy game settings, and it was home to a wide array of sports – some well-known, others more obscure – that can be used to enliven a roleplaying adventure. This article looks at some popular sports – and a few of the more athletic tavern games – and suggests ways to handle them in your favorite ruleset.

 

Blood & Guts: A question of Sport: Pete Nash on sports in roleplaying

Sports are a key aspect of human civilization. Whilst animals play in mimicry of skills needed to survive adulthood, humanity has refined the concept of sport to ever higher ideals. In short sports are a necessary part of any culture for the purpose of physical fitness, social unification, political competitiveness and of course, preparation for war.

This is especially true on Monster Island. With its strange melange of cultures forced into an uneasy balance, sports are both a method of weeding out the weak and a temporary release from the stresses of everyday survival. Games are the perfect way to bring social cohesion, albeit one which – on the island – is predisposed towards blood and violence.

This issue we present some of the more extreme sports played by the islanders…

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
