Please post below to let us know what time suits you for the event!

Onions is busy every day except Sundays from way early CST to like 5:30 - 6:00 p.m. CST, so I may miss this one XD. But in the event it is a Saturday or Sunday night time for CST, I WOULD LOVE TO KILL YOU AL.. I mean, compete in the ho ho holiday Hobbit sleigh match! Also, I want to be upfront with my gift intentions. IN the event you kill us all, you will receive a 20$ or so Gift code for STEAM. Maybe more, maybe less. I have some runner up gifts with which to dispense the merriment of slaying each other > _ > maybe.

CST is GMT -6 or thereabouts, right? I guess if you can do, say, 6 am for you, that makes it 10 pm for me and the other people near me, which I hope should work.

Does 12 GMT on Sunday the 27th suit people? I haven't yet had any characters come in, but hopefully that will change quickly.

There has been a minor rules update, clarifiying that you may take archetypes and you may not use any mythic material (because mythic is horribly, horribly game-breaking; there are stories of people breaking 10,000 damage in a round)

Since Onions sadly isn't going to be there, I might as well change the time to be something a little more suitable for everyone else. I can do, say, 2 am GMT (Which is midday for me) tomorrow, otherwise I'll shunt it to a similar time on the 3rd of January and it will be more of a new year thing.

The area can be found HERE

I will probably GM it, but since there is also a lack of numbers currently I might also put in my own Hobbit.

Also, PLEASE send me a copy of your hobbit's sheet, because otherwise I won't know for sure you're coming and I need to check it's legal.

I have only 2 confirmed players, half of which are me, but I'm going ahead with this anyway.

The event will take place at 4 AM GMT on Sunday the 3rd. That's 2 pm for people on my local time (you know who you are). Sorry for anyone else, but I'm catering for people who are definitely in it.

I should also have probably clarified that you can use the versions of Monk, Barbarian and Rogue from Unchained.

[Ooo OO can I spectate?]

Results: Ultimately, I won with my Barbarian/Druid combo. I was mounted on my pet Roc, and just charged things. I was unable to be hit because no one bought ranged weapons.

I let the other two contestants try each other after that for 2nd place, which was just won by Black Vegetables with his chainsaw-wielding barbarian (which scores bonus points for being awesome), then 3rd going to Unsavoury Charlot with his mounted fighter. The Fighter had incredible damage (dealing 47 in a single attack), but was trapped in the corner by the Chainsaw Barbarian and killed by the attacks of opportunity.

Congratulations to the winner! And also, I may have a few things hiding around to offer as runner up prizes. Hopefully, everybody had some fun!

It was fun! Hopefully we'll have more people next time for an even better competition!

As thanks for your donation, Onions, I've given you 2000 AS, as well as a specially designed magic item that you can see in your kingmaker game. I've also just given 1000 AS to the victor, 500 to 2nd place and 250 to 3rd.

These sort of events definitely help with forum/roll20 based play. Too bad most of the group I run aren't particularly active here.

I have to say I was extremely surprised I got away with the chainsaw. To make things clear to Onions, my character was literally a halfling with a chainsaw and a santa hat. Absolutely no other equipment, I was totally naked...

When I saw the chainsaw, I laughed pretty hard. That plus the Santa Hat and nothing else. It's a hilarious image. And also worth being an NPC at some stage.

I'd love to run one like that, but it'd die in my campaign before it got anything done.

I'm so glad the Kitsune player from Sunbound's campaign hasn't heard of this. She'd try to illustrate it in graphic detail.

Simple solution: The Santa hat is a hat of disguise. Problem solved; the halfling looks like he's naked, but isn't.

LOL. Let me look around my Happy Holiday's death match gift stash. I have some tasty runner up presents befitting a naked Hobbit with a chainsaw. Hopefully.
