Dead is Dead Competition, There can only be one victor. Will it be you? Options

Hi folks! Just wanted to drop a note for any that might be interested, that Round V of our Haven DiD Competitions looks to have a tentative kick-off date of February 6th. If you're interested, come on over and check out the discussion threads!

(These are a continuation of the DiD Comps. from the Skyrim section of Bethsoft, we just start it at Haven now, since we make up about 90% of the usual participants. I believe we will have a thread up for it at Bethsoft, too. )

I've had a few that made me genuinely sad when they die, but that's why I gave up on Dead is Dead, except for the Comps. All my normal characters reload as needed.

That's a stinker about your High Elf. I wish I had other friends with that interest when I was young...I thin I'd have loved D&D!


We play for fun these days. Most of the die hard competitors have moved on from our group, and are dealing with Bethnet instead.

The main rules are always the same, but the rounds are usually themed and my have specific rules. Nothing too hard! We're kept in check by an honor system. We all know, trust, and respect each other to play fair.

OH no kidding! Wow.

Those were great times. And it's funny too because even way back then (the 1980s) I used to sit there wondering if anybody would ever make a videogame which simulated all the dice rolls, book consults, scenes, etc. Except in real-time. That's why I'm so obssessed with Elder Scrolls!

That is what I was going to ask, whether there is an honor system or not.

I did follow the link you provided and read a few posts, but my question is: Do you explain the competition aspect of it all in-game? In other words, is it like our characters see a flier posted in some town which says "Hear ye!" and tnen explains that there's some sort of contest. There's a chance some might meet their ultimate demise, but for those who survive, ultimate riches abound?

Ha! I feel like I'm overthinking this!
