I just wanted to throw a post-con shout-out to the winners of the 2012 Jousting Competition, and give a big thanks to everyone who participated. It was a lot of fun to run the event, and I hope to expand it next year!

Wolfsnap,

My apologies for being a no-show.. my own scheduled event ran over time, and the players wanted to continue the game.

And then I was exhausted. :)

I am positive that it was MY LOSS, and I hope you were able to add another player in my absence.


I had a lot of fun at the joust (Friday). My only regret was coming in 2nd place, but I lost to a most worthy competitor. If I return again next year, Vothos the Fat will claim his victory laurels. Thanks for the game!

It was a lot of fun running it!

Given how fast the competition went, I plan on expanding it next year so we can get even more contestants in. :P

It was fun, with some of the best 'Role-playing' at the CON. "You have Bismirched my lady's honor, prepare to have your ass meet the ground!"


It was a blast, if anyone gets a chance to attend, you should do so.

I hope to run the 2nd annual joust at Paizocon 2013. Better go get my badge, eh?

Sounds awesome. Where can I get info to make sure I can get in?

Cheers!

It would have been nice to not gotten kicked out the first run through. Very bad luck of the dice.

You could have more people, or you could have more runs with the people there, keeping it tournament style, but with more than one short joust a person.

Wolfsnap,

Sorry I missed it last year, but my wife and I did enjoy having dinner with you. Hope to run into you this year.

I'm definitely going to change up the format this year - the jousting rounds went quite fast, so having three different categories in three different time slots was probably overkill. I'm thinking that instead, we'll do a single event with more people, and maybe do a swiss-style scoring system instead of an elimination so that everybody can get more rounds in.

I'll post more details to the board once Paizo opens registration for events, etc.

Liberty's Edge

The Great Rinaldo and his trusted companion Bleddin are interested in participating in this event. I eagerly await the details!


Vothos the Fat returns! Someone send squires for the breastplate stretcher!

Scarab Sages

Huzzah! I'm looking forward to seeing this year's hopefuls!

Just letting everyone know that there are still plenty of open slots in the 2nd Annual Jousting competition. If you have a hole in your schedule on Saturday morning, then I encourage you to attend!

Congratulations to Sir Malir,our overall champion for 2013, and to Lady Seraphina and Sir Chuck, our two runners up! Condolences to Vothos the Fat, who was once again denied the trophy.

Doing the swiss-style scoring this year was a big improvement over last year, as all of the participants got to come up for multiple rounds. It was a glorious day for all, and I thank everyone who attended for really getting into the spirit of the event and making it a lot of fun.


No worries, it was a lot of fun once again. The trick will be for Vothos to gain more weight and attain a lower center of gravity. Next year, victory! ;-)

Thank you so much! This was super fun, and my group thought it was great too. It was one of my favorite activities during the con. Sir Chuck will be back next year!
