THE TOURNAMENT

So maybe your player characters haven’t earned the fame and glory which should get them a castle of their own yet. Maybe the thought of chasing a dragon, even a little one, is still the stuff of their dreams. What does the would-be knight do in such cases?

Well, organized competitions or tournaments are a great way for the player characters to “mingle” with the local nobility and show off their stuff. It may be that a good performance in, say, the archery contest will earn the character the right to marry the prince or princess of the realm. Once everyone knows how good you are, fame and glory are only a few steps away!
