RECRUITMENT: Play-by-Post Start Date 12/16/12 (December 16)


Help Dungeon Master Deuce ring in the New Year with Match 16!

Recruitment is OVER!  Eight Brave and Foolish Dungeoneers will enter the Tower of Babel on December 17th!

     Recruitment is now officially open for Play-by-Post Match 16, otherwise known as the Sweet 16 Deathmatch!  The match will start no earlier than Sunday December 16th, with a goal of having all teams assembled as soon as possible.  I am looking for eight brave or foolhardy souls to dance with a demon in the pit of fire and come out victorious warriors on the other side!

This match will be trying out the two new constraints introduced in Match 15:
1) The match will not have a specific number of rounds, but instead will go on for a set amount of time. The match starts at 12:01 AM (EST) Sunday December 16th, and will end at 11:59 PM (EST) Monday January 7th (or three weeks total time from the start date). 

2) The time limit for this match only has been changed from 24 hours to 12 hours! That's right; every dungeoneer gets only 12 hours to post their turn or will be gibbed! Don't worry, Holidays will be taken into account! 

Every Dungeoneer is encouraged to post ahead and with contingencies, especially if your teammates are ahead of you in initiative!

Sign up now by dropping a Comment below or emailing DeuceDM. Once you have signed up, you will be set up in a team of the Dungeon Master's devising. If you have friends in mind with whom you would like to join in on your team, be sure to mention it and accommodations will be made. New players will be given preferential placement as a means of fostering a welcoming atmosphere of eternal war and hatred towards your fellow man.

Once the roster has been filled, each team will be able to discuss strategies and tactics among themselves.

The Altar of Slaughter for match 16 will be one designed by Dungeon Master Ross and Sersa Victory; inspired by the works of id Software:  E3M2: TOWER OF BABEL!!!!!

GIB CAKE!
Good hunting, dungeoneers!
Current Roster:  Steven Ness, Kevin (@ericthecavelier), Jon Green, Robert Ferguson, John Grace, Rob Waluchow, Mathew Bowers, and James Barlow!

  1. ... and on a critical hit by the cyberdemon, one random dungeoneer on Match 15 will be gibbed.

    1. Kevin,
      Right now, just hit me up with an email (link n the post), then, when teams are filled, you'll just have to send along a first lvl dungeoneer and a token image for the board. The char gen tab also outlines some of the rules clarification needed for stance, certain powers, etc. great to have you aboard!

  3. Oh man, I've always wanted to play this map. Put me on the list, but at the bottom so that new people or people not currently involved with any other match can have first dibs.

    1. So it will, in fact, be quite possible for Jon to be killed twice in a single attack roll.

    2. Jon, added!

      And if anyone can pull off the double gib, no doubt it's Jon Green!

  4. I'm a recruit from Sorcerer_Blob, looking to join in. I'm from the Mythweavers site, so I have some experience with a slightly more advanced game, but I'm always interested in playing more games at once, and I thought I'd give this a try.

  5. Welcome aboard Tegu! Do me a favor and email me (linked above as DeuceDM) so I can add you to the list! All the team planning happens via email, and once we have our eight, we're gonna get started! Four dungeoneers have signed up in the past 48 hours, feel free to invite any other friends along, mythweaver or not!

  6. If our recruiting drive doesn't fill out the match, I'll throw in. I'm also game to be a possible backup-DM, should that be necessary.

  7. Thank you both. Lets see how quickly match 15 goes, I imagine the pace will be similar.

  9. Hi guys! Looking forward to the slaughter. So the map is going to be the exact one linked above, right?

    I'm just starting to think about PC builds and wanted to confirm the map will be the above Tower of Babel map.

    1. John,

      Yes indeed! No tweaks to maps happen while dungeoneers are preparing for a match with that map.

      Have fun with that BFG!!!

    2. John,
      Yessir. No surprises here, what you see is what you get. There will be plenty of fire, lightning, and respawning!
