Heroes always come back for more, dear readers! And you, being true Defenders of Earth, have returned for more of the best RPG entertainment on the 'net!

Start everything off with Week One's Results, and see if your favourites were able to rise to the challenge like true warriors of goodness! Does Kefka still retain his tenuous hold on the Godlike title? How has newly upgraded Heavy Warrior Kanon fared in a tougher division? All these, and many more pressing questions can be answered, dear readers, with just one look inside!

With that taken care of, Week Two awaits your arrival, dear readers!

Light is filled with many hopeful warriors this week, all trying to overcome something rooted deep in their pasts. Renault, solitary Elmine bishop, must fight his demons this week. And what better way to do so than taking down a solitary fisherman in the glorious fields of battle? Will Renault finally overcome his past, or be doomed to wander in silence again?

Miniature giant space hamsters, Batman! Newly ranked Minsc, and Boo, his stalwart hamster companion, are ready for the test! Will Minsc be able to show Elly, previous Light champion, that PC RPGs have a place in the RPGDL as well? Join the throng, and do the hamster dance in support of the brave ranger! Squeek!

Alex of Burg, the Dragon Master, has fought a great many things in his career: giant frogs, mighty sorcerers, sentient slimes, but this week he faces an odd opponent: a doll. Wood meets metal this week, as Alex and Geno prepare to show off true hero skills in the arena! Watch the Dance of the Nutcracker, as these two fighting will likely crack more than just some nuts!

With such great matches in the lower divisions, what can Godlike hold in store for you? Why, how about Zophar, the mighty destroyer of the Blue Star, facing off against FUJIN, mistress of one-words? Can the greatly outmatched Fujin pull a strategic win out of her pocket? There's only one way to find out, dear readers: WATCH!

The RPGDL Forums are always a great place to meet new people, discuss the matches, or just let off some steam. It's a resource, Defenders, and true heroes make use of everything available to them! Don't be a stranger, and sign up!

Now, join Chisato Madison for a wonderful new episode of Behind the Scenes, with the finest cast of reporters the DL has to offer:
This is taking far too long. This is a shoddily run program, but what could you expect from a show where the hosts are secretly aliens?
Why anyone ever believes your tall tales is beyond me.
Why, you impudent boy! How dare you claim that I would ever make up stories!
Come off it, lady. It doesn't take a liar to know a liar.
Of course. The fact that I am a liar has nothing to do with it.
She does have a point, though. It shouldn't be taking this long to get set up.
Perhaps it is for the best. Most of the guests haven't even shown up yet.
Good day, future victims!
Ah, it's the angel skull with the invisible wings!
Hah! If he's an angel, I'm a saint!
Well, I don't think there's a patron saint of backstabbing yet. You could take that role.
So, skull, what's the holdup?
Yeah, yeah, I'm getting to that. We're having some technical difficulties in the studio, so you'll be waiting here in the green room a little longer.
How typical.
Oh, blow it out your I/O port, Mr. Meta-Metalhead. Now, all of you play nice while the squid works things out, all right? Later.
What was that all about?
The usual things we've come to expect. Where have you been?
Sorry. I've been having a lot of problems with Mel lately.
Of course. Branky will not tolerate competition, after all.
What did I do to deserve this?
Being hounded, or getting booked on the show?
Both.
It's just something you get used to eventually. Pity those who show up here for the first time without knowing what to expect.
What wonders! What a city! Boo, you never told me that your home was so amazing!
Case in point...
How did you do that?
Villainous dramatic timing.
Villains? Where! I shall smite them with fury! Me and Boo together, kicking butts for the greater good!
Say, aren't you Minsc? I've heard of you.
Ah, Boo. You did not tell me that you had let everyone know about our adventures! I see that here, as in Rashemen, our reputation comes hopping before we do!
Well, it's... nice to meet you, Minsc. But just how did you make it here on your own?
I am never alone! I have Boo with me, and he showed me the way.
You mean the hamster told you where to go?
Boo is very clever. He's telling me right now that I should be being very careful around you, and getting my boot of justice ready for you.
Naturally. After all, hamsters from space know these sorts of things.
A "space hamster"? You're really stretching it there, Estella.
The safest place to hide a truth is between two lies... Besides, Rohde, is it too much for you to believe, given how well you know the Yogurt race?
Good news. I brought sandwiches for everyone!
That's not good news. That means that we're going to be waiting here even longer.
Well, yes. But we're almost done. As soon as we put out the fires, that is.
Molt!
So, the gang's all here. Great. Now, feel free to eat and mill around together. Bye!
Am I the only one who thinks that this is suspicious?
No. But what can you do?
Boo says that anyone with ham and cheese cannot be all bad!
Maybe, though they could have brought tea.
Tres mol moltres!
If you don't mind, Moltres, could you maybe keep your distance?
Someone pass me some of that chicken salad, will you?
I really don't think you should get any closer, Moltres. Especially since this body is pretty much made of wood...
Molt molt!
Aagh! MY TORSO!
Oh, good. I was in the mood for grilled cheese.

You know, this really is much easier than hosting the show ourselves.
Sure, but the smoke from Geno's body is messing up the camera. Another mess that I'm going to have to clean up.
Aw, quit whining. I bet we've almost got everything we need for a whole broadcast already.
You know this is only going to work once, chief.
It's worth it Morte.Yeah, that's the tension spot, right there.
I could do that. It's nothing special.
Yeah, but you didn't practice under Yuna, did you?
Could you do the shoulders next? Thanks.
Bet you wish you hadn't taken that community college massage course, huh?
AGREED.
Just be quiet and attack my pressure points. Gilgamesh, take us out of here.
All right. Well, guests, sorry for tricking you. If you have any problems, you can send all hate mail and attacks to Odin.
Hey!
On behalf of all of us on Behind the Scenes, see you next week!
