Signors, welcome to the RPG Dueling League, an online community dedicated to pitting the fiercest, most PASSIONATE competitors from the RPG world against each other in a battle of fighting skill, and then democratically deciding who wins. I am your humble host, Morrie, and it is my pleasure to introduce you to the Arena, or as I like to call it, THE MONSTROUS PIT!!!

The RPGDL is a site where anyone can vote on a series of matches between a host of different RPG characters every week. Each Season, match-ups are organized by random selection among the 4 different divisions: "Light", "Middle", "Heavy", and "Godlike". The winners of the initial match-ups are decided by which contestant receives the most votes, and then continue on to fight the other winners in a tournament setup until the end of a season, ending up with 4 champions, one from each division. The sixth week of a season features a team match where the Godlike champion and other three runner-ups face off against the Godlike runner-up and other three champions; as well as a chance for re-rankings among the divisions. Not that difficult, ay?

So welcome to the RPGDL, signors, we hope you enjoy your stay! For a more in-depth summation of the features of the site, head over to the FAQ. For more information on the Rules, Chat, exciting additional tournaments, or stat topics, which detail information about all your favorite duelers, visit or join the Forum.

I hope to see you around again. The Monstrous Pit needs voters like YOU always, signors.
I'm Morte-fied. To lose... here...?
I should fire you for that pun.
Huh. Last week you were just threatening to de-Morte me for them.
I'd beat up Morte right now, but the embarassment of losing to Odin in anything should-
Yeah, yeah. Shut up. Gilgamesh, bring out the guests, let's get this over with.
Fine. Hold on a sec.
Boss, for completely shaming Morte, can I take the day off?
No.
It's more fun to crush a jubilant soul than a constantly Mop-ey one. You may not leave.
That and Ultros is already on vacation.
Drat. Since when did he get vacations?
Since he set up the entire studio, interview schedule, script and other various plans by himself for today.
Finally, you people finish watching that stupid lightshowthing.
It's a computer screen. We went over this three times already.
Whatever. So. Interview?
Sure, whatever. Lloyd. What made you choose this path in life?
Well, I-
Fascinating. And you, Jenna?
Die.
Excellent. Let's g-URK!
Good form, Jenna.
Thanks. I've been practicing a Bhairava in Human Form technique. It should assist me greatly.
So your battle plan consists simply of Bhairava?
Put succinctly, yes.
As for me, I-ARGH!
Gilgamesh. How pathetic do you have to be to miss such a simple stab at Jenna?
There was blood in my eye. Sue m-URK!
Any more and you pay for the healing, Jenna.
Whatever.
Stop channeling Squall, Jenna. Next two, Gilgamesh?
He's gurgling blood. Seems to be trying to say something.
Well, whatever it is, it gets to wait. Next two, come on out!
Hi. Jeremy's not here.
Really? Tell us, dear, why isn't he?
Well, last I checked, he tried to ambush the waiting room. Shot two missles, which both missed me, and then got Eliwood's sword, scabbard and all, stuck in his throat.
Alright. Guess that says a lot about your battle rightthere. Middle? Middle, come out here~
Hmph. Well, at least Eliwood and that fool are good for something.
Indeed. He seemed about as useful as Cecil at first.
Actually, I had to grab Eliwood's scabbard and throw it at Jeremy. He was asleep.
Ah, Ravvy-poo! I've been looking for you!
Much to my dismay. What do you want?
I'm holding a party at the castle two weeks from now! You and your darling girlfriend simply must attend!
Girlfriend? Uh. Lucius isn't-
I'M NOT HIS-
And you, Kain! Bring that dashing young woman with you! You must be so proud of her success in the DL!
...Right. My plan is to stab her and you with one motion, Raven. Yours?
Slash your wrists after slashing hers.
Excellent. A tripartite death. Tell the world we died to stop the monstrously cheery Chisato, Lyn!
You two have fun with that.
CHAAARG-urk.
mommy...
Now, now, no getting rowdy on the set...!
Ultros also earns an extra day's vacation for this. Even when on tranquilizers and anti-depressants, Chisato is a killing machine. Good to know that she's "volunteered" to have those meds and these revivals paid for out of her check.
So -THAT'S- why she seemed so spacy during BtS.
Uh. Don't you mean, "why she seems so spacy right now?" Since this is BtS and all?
No, we were playing BtS.
...what?
And while Odin attempts to explain this, how about you invite the remaining guests out, Chisato?
Okay! Jogurt, Zahhak! Come on out, wherever you are!
...and with that, I run for the hills.
I, BAAL, SHALL CRUSH THIS PUNY WORLD, AND THIS WEAKLING YOU HAVE PITTED ME AGAINST STANDS NO CHANCE AGAINST ME.
Blah blah blah crushing worlds blah blah blah. Hey, Chisato, watch! The pipsqueak's aerodynamic!
AAAAAIIIIIIIIII-
Ooh, nice throw, Zahhak! Right onto Gilgy's sword! Three points! You're my hero!
Poor sword, such failure contaminating it...
So now do you see? We were playing BtS - Civilization 4 Beyond the Sword - before BtS - Behind the Scenes - started.
I see. And what about this mess?
Morte can take care of it, patch Gilgamesh up and drag Chisato away from Zahhak. Maybe.
You're the janit-
I pounded you into Morte-r, from which I founded my kingdom! YOU MUST KNEEL!
Rrrrrrgh, the puns! Fine. I'll do it. But I demand a rematch!
