Rules for Tournaments


Dragon Magazine General Discussion


I am running a Westeros campaign, and I want my players to get involved in a festival of games in their next playing session. I know I have seen rules before for jousts and other types of games, but I cant remember where. I have used the search function for jousts and gotten nothing. I do have the issue (307) on Gladiators. Does anyone know where I can find something in that area, whether it is in an issue of Dragon (3.0 or 3.5) or in a supplement from WOTC? I really appreciate any help or direction.


Tournaments, Fairs and Taverns has rules for many different games in it.

Thats all and good but that doesnt ship for 1 to 2 months and my session is this weekend, although I do appreciate the help.


Dragon #299 had tournament rules. You might try checking that issue out if you have it. If you don't, I think it's available as a back issue.

Thanks a ton, Matthew. I do have that issue, and after I dug it out on your advice, I do believe its exactly what I was thinking of! You and the entire Paizo staff are indispensible!


Complete Warrior has some rules under its Sporting Combat section: Jousts, Gladiatorial Matches, Archery Contests, Conjurer's Chess, and the Alabaster Cup.

If you have access to Complete Warrior, you might be able to use the Alabaster Cup rules... it looks interesting. And competitive.

City Works also has some rules for tournaments. It's a really good book if you plan on city adventuring, and the other rules it has, like the tournament, are handy.
