(TFT) Battle Royal
Ah. OK then the Battle Royal it is. That actually is exactly what I needed to know. I had thought that we, as a party of characters, were going adventuring together in either an ad hoc creation by the GM, or perhaps in an actual published campaign. I have played Melee and Wizard a decent amount in college, but always along a united party vs the monsters line of play, not this gladiatorial Battle Royal. I never played the Advanced versions, but I will be up and running with them soon for upcoming adventures. Now I understand my consternation, I was coming at this on line game from a wrong angle all together. Don, thank you for clearing that up.With that aside I will now be more than be pleased to engage--I will send my turn out tonight if it is not too late. If I have missed my turn at this point then so be it, I can wait and watch till my turn comes around again.
I actually just bought three complete (books, counters, maps, the works) Legends of the Ancient World TFT compatible games from Dark City games, and they look great. I am looking forward to playing and perhaps GM'ing some of them soon. Perhaps we could do some on line??? Could be fun!

We all battle each other until there is only one standing --> the winner.
