Swallowtail festival games

[Craig1234]

I'm about to start our RotRL campaign and noticed the "Festival Fun and Games" section at the start and thought it'd be cool to have some of them running. I can see where weight lifting contests would be done via an opposed STR check, but things like the sack races and tugs of war seem to me like they could have an actual mini-game attached that would be more interesting and fun then just rolling A vs B. That said, I'm not sure how I would make that work. Anyone got any ideas?

thanks

Check out Wayfinder #7 (free download). It has a bunch of games for the Swallowtail Festival, with suggestions on running them.

There's a whole thread full of user-compiled games here. ;)

sweet, those are exactly what I'm looking for

Amusingly, that thread contains the games that were later published in Wayfinder #7. I still recommend it, though. There are quite a few good ideas for other aspects of RotRL as well, including Chopper's Island.
