Kublacon 2018: Breaking Lances Tournament






I usually run two games at Kublacon, one each Saturday and Sunday mornings through the afternoon. This year I ran my ImagiNations on Saturday (see last blog post) And my someday upcoming Breaking Lances game on Sunday.

Young knights and... full aged, enjoy Breaking Lances

 The tournament had 12 players with double elimination. 4 of the players had jousted before, and definitely had a bit of a home field advantage- at least at first. The rest of the players caught on very quickly and much splintering of lances and sundering of dice was made.

I've added foot combat to the rules.
Finalists with High renown skills doing deadly damage at each pass
The tournament went very well, with the last 3 knights having levelled up their renown skills making them deft with a horse and deadly with a lance. To round out the finals a "wild card" knight was picked.  Having only one renown skill point, and not the best luck at reading his opponent, he was very abruptly schooled. The Winning knight was, I believe, 9 or 10 years of age.

For those knights who got knocked out of the joust early, there was foot combat across a barrier- a new thing I've added to the Breaking Lances rules, which tested pretty well over all (phew)!


I really do "heart" the Kublacon staff!



Thanks again to all those who came to play, and also a big shout out to the staff of Kublacon, who are always helpful, happy and know what's what!

  5. I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
