There is a upcoming tournament in my ACKS game and I want to give my players a chance to participate. However, I am rather lacking in ideas as to how to play a tourney. Archery and the melee is easy enough, but jousting?
Anyone know of any good jousting rules?
>>
>>98249130
GURPS has some rules for jousting.

Chainmail has jousting rules, not my thing but there's been a decent amount of discussion of how to implement them in OSR games.
https://deltasdnd.blogspot.com/2023/07/solving-chainmail-jousting.html

Personally it sounds like a great excuse to break out the old game Full Tilt! and play that.

You're just making fun of the guy, but OP struggling with something that should be simple is very much a symptom of playing a game that took some hundred pages of the entirety of B/X and turned them into a tangled wire drawer of rules deliberately stretched and padded out to 1500 pages.

There aren't jousting rules in Imperial Imprint?
I'd go with
>>98249745
and use Chainmail or Full Tilt

>There aren't jousting rules in Imperial Imprint?
Probably because it's Roman-coded, while jousting is more Medieval-coded.

>>98249130
yeah i got an easy fix for you: play an actual game

ACKS got shilled so hard and dumbly it got banned from a bunch of websites, and only has a few hundred players remaining world wide.

Makes sense to treat it with suspicion and laugh at anyone who got suckered into buying it.

>>98253629
I think you might seriously have a problem

>>98249130
You missed your general

>>98249130
I considered all the jousting options, found them wanting, so made my own (specifically for Fantastic Heroes & Witchery, but should be adaptable for other OSR games)

Where is jousting in the ACKS book?

that's actually a neat idea, thanks

>>98255255
GURPS may be trash, but the splatbooks have some of the best GMing advice that there is on how to run games, even if those games are not GURPS. GURPS Britannia or GURPS Arthurian Legends would likely have jousting rules suggestions that could be easily adapted.
>>
>>98253629
Better than the woke shit that was so trash it failed on kickstarter that or never touch when they did get it due to how trash it was. At least with even all the hate they have people playing unlike the woke shit pushed and people don't touch. Also, ACKS is bigger than you might think but tourists like yourself wouldn't know. (I bet, you can't even play 5e correctly without help.)
