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:

Rankings will resume this season. Make sure to recommend what games you'd like to see in the DL starting week 3!

You've done a good job paying attention, students. Now here's Chisato to take you Behind the Scenes!
We're back again, kids. And with no stupid "Don't pick on the PCs boo hoo hoo" rules either.
You have to admit it was different.
No, not really.
It was a nice try, though. A nice, moronic, confusing try.
Well, enough about that. This time we'll pick whoever we want!
And by "We", you mean "me", and by "Whoever we want", you mean "List generated to be as annoying as possible so that people rejoice when we routinely heap abuse upon them like so many pounds of fertile manure whenever we aren't doing the same to Odin".
That is what I mean.
Hey! I never got any manure!
No point, you're already full of it.
Nice.
Well, making fun of Odin is like shooting fish in a barrel where the fish jump out of the barrel and impale themselves on your bullets.
This is all very interesting, but can we start the show now, please?
Sounds like a plan to me.
Where the hell do people go to shoot fish in barrels anyway? That sounds like quite a fun evening, let me tell you!
No, I'm not going to let you tell me. We'll look it up in the phone book later. Ready when you are, boss.
It's Behind The Scenes time once again, dear readers! As always, I, Chisato Madison, am here along with the usual suspects to chat with and utterly humilate this week's fighters in the Duellling League arena! This week's Godlike pair of guests are Killer and Yunalesca!
Glad to be here.
It's good to be back.
Well, let's discuss the match.
Fair enough. To be blunt: Yunalesca is all about taking down PC's. I am not a PC, and none of her tricks are going to be very helpful against me. I have plenty of tricks that will work against her, though.
I can see that you have lost all hope in life. Allow me to free you from your pain. I, Yunalesca, will see that your meaningless existance is at an end, with the powers granted by me by...uh...whatever it was that turned me into some sort of snake woman after I used the Final Aeon or something.
...Hah. Hahahah. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Why are you laughing? Do not fight against fate!
Oh, you're serious. Really? That's the best you have? You sound like some snotty 14 year old that reads Nietzche and wears ironic T-shirts you found in a mall. Do you even listen to yourself? I come from a game with giant kung-fu cats and fought against a gay Incan stripper with a living incarnatio of chaos and The Penguin, and that's still the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why don't you do yourself a favor and skip the match and go get laid or write poetry with Sync or something? You're pathetic.
...
Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I'm falling in love with you.
Eh. It's better than everybody going "Hey, Yuri, when did you dye your hair? Hah hah hah hah!" like nobody ever saw that before.
With Yunalesca completely shut down, I think it's time to move on to the next division. Thank you for your time, Killer.
Wow, that was really mean! I'm going to give that guy a piece of my mind just after I finish this interview. Perhaps a good dose of youthful spirit will cheer him up!
Hey, Chisato. Got any matches on you? I ask for a completely normal reason, perhaps to smoke tobacco or light a candle, and not to set that goofy hat of my opponent's on fire.
You don't have to lie to me, Decus. Nobody likes him here either.
Oh. Well, in that case, can I set him on fire?
After the interview. Justin, Decus would like to set you on fire in the arena, too. How do you propose to not become a youthful cinder?
Well, Chisato, I do resist Fire a little bit, so that's good! And of course I've been practicing all the time with my good friend Rune. He's so into the training he doesn't even announce it or wait until it's daylight or anything! He just rushes in and starts trying to kill me! It's great!
It's so hot. Going to die. Etc. You get the idea. Annnnnnyway, I'd like to stay and chat, but I'm going to be late for Kefka's barbecue. We're going to have some orphans over, and you know how much they squirm and try to escape and show you pictures of their puppies. I don't want to miss that.
I think it's awfully sweet that you're letting some orphans come to your barbeque. Maybe I'll stop by and say hello to all you guys!
Yes....yes you do that.
Later, guys.
...
...
...Excellent. Blandness ahoy!
Well, I am a prince. That's more character than that guy over there. What is it that you do again?
I honestly don't know. I fell asleep reading my own stat topic.
Lovely.
I guess I could...attack you or something? I'm sure it'll be quite the match...to curse insomnia with! Hah! Why am I burning myself?
Don't look at me, I'm just a clone of some guy who dies on the first disc. I don't have the character development to think.
It's almost as if there's...someone putting words in my mouth for the express purpose of being a jerk.
You're delusional. I don't think we have any room in BtS for crazypeople.
Yeah! Get lost, chump. You're almost as big of a loser as me! ...Wait.
...Uh...
That didn't happen.
But...
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. LIGHT. NOW!
Finally! Time to upstage that exploding frog of a brother!
Is great to be here.
Well, let's start with you, Rafa.
I haven't met a man yet who isn't discourged by a few swift stick beatings.
My summoned monsters will make the mincemeant out of you. It will be glorious victory for Chongara the Noble! Buy your limited-edition Golden Chongara Championship Plaque now! Supplies are limited.
Awfully confident, aren't we, you little twerp?
What is this "twerp"? In my country you would be execute!
In your country all there is is a desert, a cave, and another gave with a demon in the form of a little girl. Who, exactly, would execute me?
In middle of remodeling. Executing would come with time.
Right, right, right.
Pfft. Summoned monsters. Killing them is like killing Jogurt, except you don't feel bad because they aren't adorable like Jogurt.
Annyway, I think that about wraps things up.
Terrific. Let's go watch Justin get barbacued.
I found a place that let's you shoot fish in a barrel!
I'm down with that.
Word.
Okay then, let's get out of here.
See you next week, readers! Don't forget to vote for you think you will win this week, and see who won last time! Bye!
