FTDM Match 2 Call to Arms!

That's right you slabs of meat, I will be hosting Match 2 of the Fourthcore Team Deathmatch. Please read all the rules for character creation, and the play-by-post variant rules to get familiar with the format. As Gib happy as I am, I am sticking to the standard Play-by-post rules for this match.

The map will be E2M1: Minecart Massacre, so it'll pay to read the info for that as well.

I am looking for 8 dungeoneers (2 teams of 4) to take the field. Once I have 8, I'll make an announcement of the start date. It will be at least a week after I've filled the last slot. The match will last 12 rounds.



E3M1: AMBULATORY OF THE SUCCUBUS QUEEN

Round 4 - FIGHT!

E2M1: MINECART MASSACRE


Situated within an active volcano, this rickety mining platform hosts tight quarters combat. Players pushed into the mine rails are met with a mine cart that will hastily shuttle them off to their demise. However gaining control over the rail switch can grant you control of the path the mine carts will take. The lower track features perilous hazards via stalactites, and broken sections of rail, while the top rail features the mine's owners, some Angry Kobolds, preparing to launch high explosive barrels towards the invaders of their mine! Grabbing one of these barrels and getting back to the platform will seal the fates of your opponents!

FTDM at Octobercon!

Not long ago, Fourthcore Team DeathMatch was contacted by Paul Weigle in regards to running some FTDM at the seventh annual Octobercon, held at The Shunned House in Norwich, CT. The con features an event called "The Clash of Champions". In this event, dueling Dungeon Masters Paul #1 and Paul #2 put their adventuring groups through a wringer of an adventure, "Hell Hath No Fury", the winner receiving a small boon for the final round. The dungeoneers knew that this was a competetive event, not unlike the D&D Open, but what they did not know was the special surprise that awaited them in the coming finale. After completing the first portion of the event, the dungeoneers were then wisked away to the (N is for ...) Netherworld and forced into a nightmarish scenario of unending bloodshed and torment, played out for the amusement of lords of the hell.

You may know this as E1M1: Slaughterhouse.

Below is the official post-game write up. You can read the excitement and exhiliration in the author's words. FTDM is the most frantic and exciting way to play Dungeons & Dragons, and it really shows here.
