What are some mini games you guys have created for your players?
I was watching a Lets Play of Ocarina of Time, specifically the challenge to shoot targets on horseback for the expanded quiver, and it occurred to me something like that could be adapted for Pathfinder.
Like a challenge for the party archer to compete off horseback and they have to hit a series of targets and their performance would be scored afterward. If they reach a certain point, they would get rewarded. Possibly through a 'title' bestowed upon them, or gold, or favors, or a magical item etc.
You could do this by having a bullseye and each ring of the bullseye has a separate armor class. For example, target is AC 10, the first ring could be AC 15, the second ring AC 20, the 3rd ring AC 25 and the bullseye AC 30. The bullseys is worth 100 points, 3rd ring is 75, 2nd ring is 50 and 1st ring is 25, just hitting the target rewards no points.
Anyway, what kinds of minigames have you guys used in your games?
Well...
1) Various midway-style games of chance and skill for a town festival.
2) Any gambling game for when the PCs are in a casino or tavern.
3) The chase subsystem is a minigame.
4) The library research system from Mummy's Mask is a minigame.
