I, Kazan, bid you welcome to the RPG Dueling League, dedicated to the art of pitting the greatest warriors of the RPG Multiverse against each other in honourable combat! Within lies the greatest showcase of fighting talent you will ever lay your eyes upon!


Here, you will be able to vote on a series of Battles. weekly where the greatest warriors will square off in combat! Fighters are split into divisions, aptly named for the fighting prowess of those within. The victors each week continue on in a typical eliminations-style tournament, until a victor is crowned champion of each division. Here, you'll also find exciting bonus matches and other spectacles to seduce your battle-starved souls, enough honourable combat to fill even an old man like me with joy! Questions? Go here!

In addition, there's another small tournament called Not Ranked, which pits an even wider assortment of unique, secretive and unknown warriors against each other in a similar vein. If you're looking for a favourite, it wouldn't hurt to check that out as well.

The DL is more than answering the question of how fighters stack up. It's a repository of information about RPG's varying from the obscure to the well known. Every bit of data gathered from every dank duengon and musty library in the RPG universe is gathered here. If you youngsters want to talk about any RPG of any stripe, you're welcome here. Check out this center of learning and find out new information about your favorite games!

Aah, glad I could be of assistance. But before I knock off for a much deserved drink, here's the current news and status of the Duelling League this week:

The fourth part of the Fact Center will be up on Monday. This time there's got some interesting stuff about Anastasia and Lord Blazer from Wild ARMs 2.

Season 43 of the DL's almost over, so make sure to get your nom pools in for season 44. Don't pass up this chance to get your favorite fighters into the arena!

You've done a good job paying attention, students. Now here's Chisato to take you Behind the Scenes!
Hiiii~
What. No, nonono, these weirdoes are NOT taking my show over again.
Someone distract it while I try to kill it...
^o^
Oh crap it's opening it's mouth!!!
Knock it off Morte.
...er...um...^_^???
I'm a god. I can tell when someone is dead or not.
Wait, that's Morte in a Kirby suit?
Yeah. See? *rip*
Gah! You ruined my Halloween costume!
Halloween? It's JUNE.
Either way, that was pretty awful, Morte.
Seriously. Schooled by Odin?
I'd think you idiots would be more embarrassed that Odin figured it out before you did, myself.
Look, guys, I appreciate a good joke at my expense as much as the next god, but I've got family coming in today. Can we shelve the 'Odin fails' jokes for one day?
...
Please?
Yeah, sure, why not. In fact, you can interview Godlike yourself. Get the show started.
Hey, thanks boss.
Are you sure that's a good idea?
Probably not. But it's an amusing one, at least.
Hmm, Odin seems to be in a rare non-stupid phase at the moment. I wonder if I could preserve his brain and study it to see what triggers these...
...Chisato...
What?
Boss, I'm not so sure I feel safe around here right now.
Chiasto, have you been taking your medication?
...yes.
Liar.
It makes my head feel funny, okay? I hate that stuff.
Go take it or I'm giving Morte your paycheck.
Tch...fine. Anything else I can do for you, mein fuhrer?
Yeah, get me a small non-fat latte on the way back. You guys want anything?
Just a coffee.
Ooh, I want a donut.
...
Well, you did ask.
What's the hold up guys, I'm ready to start over here?
Places people. Get moving Chisato.
Grrr...
Alright, I'm good.
Cameras are ready to roll.
Ready to...uh, what is it I do around here again?
Mostly insult the guests.
And your co-workers.
Ready and able!
Aaaand roll. Welcome to the finals week of season 43 ladies and gentlemen. I'm Odin, king of the gods, and we're here to take you Behind the Scenes! For our first guests today, we have the retuning champion Lady, and the black sheep of the gods, Loki.
...
I'm the black sheep? At least I have success in Godlike to my name, unlike other gods I could name.
And I wish you the best of luck in Godlike, since you can never manage to get being a real one right.
I...I want to follow that up with something, but that was really good enough to stand on it's own. Ouch.
Oh, and I suppose you're such a wonderful god, are you?
See, that's one of the advantages to being king of the gods. A 'good' god is whatever I say it is.
That's Evil Overlord logic right there.
Yeah, but it works.
Hmph. I shall enjoy lording my success over you when I defeat this woman and claim a championship.
...
Hah, if you win, you mean. I tell you what Loki, should you manage this fight I'll let you be the king of the gods for a season. You'll have earned a chance to prove yourself then, at least.
Then start getting your throne resized now, because I will not lose.
...
Part of me is glad I can't understand what she's saying to him.
Yeah, that can't be pleasant language.
Lady, I'm sorry this ended up being more about my unworthy kinsman, but I'm sure you've already had your fill of this place these last two seasons.
...
Well, nice having you again. Anyway, onto Heavy!
*ahem*
Yeeeees?
I said you could do Godlike. Not the whole show. Gil, take over.
Awww.
Alrighty then. Bring on the Heavies, Decus and Feena, nice to have you.
Fire, fire!
This guy's been going on about fire since he got here.
That's pretty much all he ever goes on about.
Where's Chisato, I wanted to show her a new way I found to set things on fire.
Wait, there are ways to burn things you haven't found yet?
Yes! I can now set things on fire with my EYES!
What, like heat vision?
No, like replacing my eyes with FLAMETHROWERS!
I...see...
So do I! And when I do, it BURNS THINGS!!!!
Right. Well, Decus we all know how you plan to fight,
FIRE!!!
but how about you, Feena? Any thoughts to share?
Um, mostly I'm going to be trying not to catch fire. And killing him while I do that.
What, you expected an actual plan out of someone who dates Justin?
Planning is for stupid losers like Rune! Justin and I don't need any of that!
Calling an emergency stop to Heavy. Decus, get out of my studio before you melt something expensive.
But...
Out!
Um, okay, bye! Cheer for me!
Alright, you can move on to middle now.
Sure. Ultros, you wanna take...Ultros?
Hmm?
What are you doing under there?
Hiding from Decus.
Oh, right, you and fire. You want middle?
Sure, lemme get back up here...alright. Uh, Hahn and Tengaar, come on down!
Hi.
Told you I wouldn't stop.
Still thinking about tomorrow, eh?
Sorry to break it to you miss, but I'm afraid you are going to stop.
Who's going to make me? You?
That is the idea, yeah.
Hah, like that could ever happen. You're so wimpy you make Hix look manlier then Kahn.
Say what you want, but I don't plan on losing now.
So about the...
What, "I don't plan on losing"? That's all? Come on, you can do better then that.
Pardon?
Could I just...
Get angry, say something impressive, at least show some emotion. Come on, be a man!
I don't really get what you're saying.
Excuse me I'm trying to...
We're here to fight, not have a tea party! Act like it! You gotta let people know how tough you are!
That's really not my style.
Look...
What do you mean 'not your style'? So what is your style, being a girl?
WILL YOU STOP INTERUPTING ME!?
OhgodtentaclesgrabbingmeHixHELP!!!!!
Look, I'm just trying to do an interview here, alright?
Excuse me.
What!?
As much as I dislike jumping to the rescue of annoying women, it seems to be my lot in life. Now are you going to set her down, or am I going to have to hit you with a couple of lightning bolts first?
Kid, I could knock you a few city blocks with one hit, you know that?
You won't get that hit. Not when you're weighed down by carrying her.
...screwy Fire Emblem mechanics. Fine, whatever, Middle's done. Morte, you've got light.
Ugh. Thanks a lot, Erk. Yeesh.
Excuse me?
I was trying to get HIX to save me. Y'know, take on a giant monster for love, be a man. Until you went and ruined it!
Uh, Hix isn't even here.
Yes he is, he's out in the lobby waiting for me.
Wasn't there when we came in.
...I'm gonna kill him.
*sigh*
So why do guys like you and Hix stay with girls like Serra and Tengaar anyway?
Unconscious self loathing?
I can buy that. Hey, aren't we supposed to be getting interviewed?
Morte, do your job.
Huh? Oh, right. Uh, Erk's a...crappy...doormat mage guy?
What?
Kinda weak, Morte.
Gimme a break, he's an FE character. I don't have much to work with here.
What are you doing?
My job! I'm supposed to insult people, right?
That is what I told him he does, yeah.
...alright. Carry on.
As for you, you're in love with Snowe.
And?
See, I'm not sure it's possible to top that.
Huh?
Man, you guys would have to leave the tough crowd for me. I coulda ripped into Loki, or Feena or even Hahn, but these two? I got nothing.
Well I have something. It's your stupid coffee.
*splash*
OW OW HOT!
Any particular reason you threw coffee at me?
Better question, why did the coffee bounce off and hit Jewel?
Well that one's easy. Does it look like Dark Elemental coffee to you?
...so much hate for you right now, Nate.
Oh, boss. Got a question, since you're back. Well, more like a bet.
A bet? With me? Sure, I'll take your money.
Nah, not for money.
Really now? Alright, I'll hear it. Chisato, close us out. Gil, come with me.
...fine. And from all of us at Behind the Scenes, go away and never watch this stupid show again. Oh, and stop buying all NanjoCorp products in general while you're at it.
I heard that.
