Turn 31. Every single time any character died, I felt bad about it.
Digital
| Digital creates a massive sphere and hurls it at Dragooble. It explodes halfway between them in a large kinetic blast.

| Good ending: A magician in the audience teleports Digital up to a platform set into the side of the arena. The judges award him his freedom for succeeding, and an arch-wizard spectator takes Digital on as an apprentice. There he learns how to be one of the most powerful wizards the world has ever known.
Bad ending: Digital dies from toxic lava vapors and heat.
Strange ending: Digital teleports away. Three months later, an unexplained, massive explosion destroys the planet and all life on it. The cause remains unknown, but Digital escapes to our universe to the year 3137 to play the finally complete Dwarf Fortress. His lifes work done at last, cyborg-Toady finally gets a nap.
Poll time: Which game do I GM next?
1A) Rookie Arena round 2, same rules
1B) Rookie Arena round 2, different rules
2) A cooperative RTD
3)
I vote 3. A competitive RTD where violence is only one option of many to win. Kinda similar to the Treasure Sounds Like Treachery RTD.
