DM Tips: Running a Gladiatorial or Tournament Style Adventure
Here's my thoughts on how to run a gladiator or combat tournament style adventure in OSR, D&D, or your TTPRG of choice. I think GMs get too aught up in focusing on the combat set-pieces in the arena at the expense of everything else. My advice is not to concentrate on the arena battles but on everything happening around the fighting. Look at movies and other media for inspiration. There is almost always plots and intrigues that are developed outside the fighting and they are sometimes the main movers of the story.

I'm tired of the fudging vs non-fudging game master arguments. They lack a voice that should be the most important voice in the discussion: the voice of the players. Well, I don't want to hear anymore thoughts from DMs on the matter. I want to hear about players. If you play in a game with fudging, tell me about it. If you play in a game without fudging (as far as you know), I'd like to hear from you as well. How do you feel about it? Do you want to play in a game with fudging, open or otherwise? Have you played in one? Tell me about it.
