I, Kazan, bid you welcome to the RPG Dueling League, dedicated to the art of pitting the greatest warriors of the RPG Multiverse against each other in honourable combat! Within lies the greatest showcase of fighting talent you will ever lay your eyes upon!


Here, you will be able to vote on a series of Battles. weekly where the greatest warriors will square off in combat! Fighters are split into divisions, aptly named for the fighting prowess of those within. The victors each week continue on in a typical eliminations-style tournament, until a victor is crowned champion of each division. Here, you'll also find exciting bonus matches and other spectacles to seduce your battle-starved souls, enough honourable combat to fill even an old man like me with joy! Questions? Go here!

In addition, there's another small tournament called Not Ranked, which pits an even wider assortment of unique, secretive and unknown warriors against each other in a similar vein. If you're looking for a favourite, it wouldn't hurt to check that out as well.

The DL is more than answering the question of how fighters stack up. It's a repository of information about RPG's varying from the obscure to the well known. Every bit of data gathered from every dank duengon and musty library in the RPG universe is gathered here. If you youngsters want to talk about any RPG of any stripe, you're welcome here. Check out this center of learning and find out new information about your favorite games!

Aah, glad I could be of assistance. But before I knock off for a much deserved drink, here's the current news and status of the Duelling League this week:

Not Ranked: Restarting. The current Not Ranked season has been drawn up, and all that's left is to gather writeups. Every single fan is welcome and encouraged to take a look and grab a writeup or two. Not Ranked is by and for the fans, and every little bit of help gets us closer to another season.

BREAKING NEWS: THE DL IS TAKING A BREAK STARTING AFTER THIS SEASON. PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS TOPIC ABOUT IT. If you wish to contact the site admins about this and don't wish to register on our forums, please email them about it!. We will be back in six weeks!!

You've done a good job paying attention, students. Now here's Chisato to take you Behind the Scenes!
Six weeks off. Man, we've been doing this straight for over 30 seasons. Hard to believe we're going to be off for a while.
Obviously, an unpaid vacation. And I just finished paying off my new sword, too.
New sword?
Yeah, some ominous knight in black armour gave me this thing called an Alondite. It's really cool!
Not as awesome as my Mop, though! It's so cool, it even gets a capital letter in text!
Damnit, Odin, do you know how much it costs to repair a breach in the fourth wall?
Ten times my paycheck?
Ten times zero is still zero.
So it's infinitely more than any of us make. But does it really matter? I mean, we'll have over a month to fix it up and do other fun stuff. A little break in the wall before the break can't hurt too much.
Don't you remember what happened last time we broke the fourth wall? Odin got transported to an alternate universe, my skull turned pink and Chisato actually lost a few pounds?
It was terrifying.
Do you mind? Some of us would like to get out of here.
Indeed. I have a date I'd much rather not be late for.
Love. Warmth. What good is it anyway? Nothing matters!
What happened to her?
She finished her last Christmas cookie. She's wallowing in sugar-induced despair.
Terrible.
Hel-LO!
Hyphenated words - you must feel really aggravated.
I can't cut your salaries enough for these damages.
So, maybe we should do something with these whiners? Not like I care too much, but maybe it wouldn't hurt. Faster we get done with them, the faster I can get back to playing Baldur's Gate II.
Why are you playing that?
To figure out what that game has that Planescape doesn't that allows it to be ranked in the RPGDL.
Oh, why not. We'll do the short, short version. Zophar, do you?
I do.
Jenna, do you?
Yes. Wait, do I what?
I now pronounce you it and it. The first RPG transexual wedding - this should really boost the ratings.
I do not comprehend.
Which is probably for the best.
I think a song would be fitting for this momentous occasion.
Well, then sing, my lovely mariachi!
Such a sucker for a looker.
"How does she know you love her? How does she know she's yours?"
Ok, two problems: One, I think this is a bit of advertising. Two, neither of them is exactly a 'she'.
Oh...well then. I must be off! Farewell!
What a champion - so dashing. Speaking of champions, when do I get my reward money?
Ok, here's something that you might not know, but the victory money thing? It's a facade. We're too cheap to actually pay anyone anything.
WHAT!?
Hey, it's not like we get paid either.
Well, that makes losing feel a little bit...less depressing.
Don't feel too bad - at least you're not some ancient undead king who lost to some puny little kid with a black magic rune...
I think it would be in your best interest to start running NOW.
So how was that, Nate?
Quick and to the point. And we even have enough time for a goodbye.
Farewell, my adoring fans! We'll be back in six weeks!
The Final Fantasy Villains Association wishes you a wonderful Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
Don't tease the octopus, kids!
Remember - If at first you don't suceeded, you're only doomed to fail again.
From all of us here at Behind the Scenes.
We'll see you in six weeks!
