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's tenth season has been unveiled. Check out all the action here!

You've done a good job paying attention, students. Now here's Chisato to take you Behind the Scenes!
Oh man. This week. This glorious week.
Did anybody ever find out what really went down between Duran and that monkey?
I heard they just picked bugs out of each other's fur.
I don't think Duran is smart enough to catch bugs in fur.
Nevertheless, that was quite funny. Did that plumber ever find Duran and rescue him?
I think so, but once he realized Duran was a guy in a pink dress he apparently shouted "To hell with this!" and ate a bunch of mushrooms. Apparently he can shoot fire and fly now.
Pfft. Everyone knows that in order to fly you need shiny orbs of pure magic made of dead monsters or something similar.
I know! People these days, I swear.
As fun as this is, we still have a show to run, people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, aren't we a Mr. Spoilsport.
It's not our fault you were busy counting your money when it happened.
Ah, yes. Thank you for the reminder that I'm incredibly wealthy. I feel much better now. GET TO WORK.
Sigh.
Welcome to Behind the Scenes, readers! With eliminations out of the way for Season 43, your favorite dullers are ready to begin fighting for a shot at a division championship, which means things are just getting started! And Behind the Scenes right here to tell you all about it! Our first guests are...
Shion told me to make an appearance, but I do not understand why...
Aren't you kinda her boss now? Also, hi Chisato.
You're looking well.
Why wouldn't I? This is quite the easy win for me. Now way is she going to be able to take on me and my magic!
And why not?
Because...you're a robot. You take magic about as well as Duran in the monkey house.
Nice!
Thanks, I was waiting for that.
Your logic is flawed. Worker 8 can...
Worker 8! Worker 8! If you guys love Worker 8 so much why don't you marry him?
Marriage between robots is not legal at this point in time.
Talking to you is like talking to a polite, but indifferent brick wall.
Ah well. Well, see you later, Indalecio. Try not to get your ass-kicked by a bandana wearing 16 year old on the way out.
Are you still going on about that?
Don't I get my say about the fight?
No. Now then, onto Heavy!
Ugh. Up against a cute girl and of course she's...
She's what?
Um...nevermind.
Huh. Edge actually showed some tact this time. Well, Ninja, what do you have planned for your match this week?
Oh, you know, the usual. Smoke bombs and stabbing things and punching dinosaurs and stuff. Say, Chisato, what are you doing tonight? I know a good place by th-
Boy, not only are you barking up the wrong tree, you're in an entirely different forest. You'd have better luck asking Asellus.
Uh...
Oh, don't worry about it. It's not like there's anything wrong with...uh, say! You haven't told us your thoughts on the match yet.
It's all a matter of practice. I've been spending plenty of time sparring with White Rose.
I'm sure you have.
Oh, you're just asking for it.
Heh. Well, looks like our time's almost up. I've gotta go get prepared.
I think I'll go train some more.
Pace yourself. Well, that was awkward.
But amusing.
Uh...HELLO? I don't have all day, you know. Me and Hix have plenty of adventure to still go on. Even if I have to drag him by the ponytail like I did last time.
Uh...wouldn't that hurt?
Pain is the path to becoming a true warrior. Hix is too soft anyway.
I see...
Hix's emasculation aside, can we talk about the match?
My Earth Rune should suffice.
I don't think you can break past my healing, and my Holy magic is more than a match for Earthquake.
Good luck getting a chance to use it, then, because I won't stop!
Won't stop...being annoying?
Won't stop...making Hix rescue you from your own stupid plots?
Won't stop...thinking about tomorrow?
HOW DARE YOU? I'M GOING TO GET HIX TO KICK ALL YOUR ASSES!
Yeah, like some punk kid with a sword is going to be able to take on the three of us.
Eh, don't bother, she's storming off right now.
That wasn't very nice! I think Yuri needs to have a word with you.
...Eep.
Might I suggest a strategic withdrawal?
Lights first.
Heh. Tengaar never changes.
Can we do this quick? I don't want to be around when Yuri beats the crap out of those guys.
I'm too pretty to die! Again!
It was the skull! Take the skull!
....Anyway, here's the thing: Both of us are pretty much limited to fighting physically. So there's no real way some four-eyes with a spear could possibly take on the wielder of the Star Dragon Sword, right?
You have a good point, but it's not like the sword is a real friend of yours, right? I can't see why I couldn't slip a katana past your defenses.
Well, you see, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, furthermore, blah blah blah blah...
However, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...
WHY WON'T THEY STOP TALKING?
Crap. Gilgamesh, THINK OF SOMETHING!
Odin! I'll give you 10,000 Gil if you get them to shut up and go!
Kay. Excuse me, but perhaps you would like to hear what was in the bathroom after Free Chili Night during the Final Boss Convention...did you know Rhapthrone was lactose intolerant? In fact...
Uh, I have a..thing. That I must go to. Now.
I also must immediately vomi-I mean leave. Yes.
And that's how it's done. Cough it up.
Money well spent. Now, to flee like the cowards that we are. Slink away, boys. Slink away.
Well, Odin actuallly succeeding at something. Okay, I'm convinced it's time to shut this down. See you next week, readers! Until next time, this is Chisato Madison speaking for everyone at Behind the Scenes!
