VR event - Help needed!

I could see using a generator for Dwarf Fortress esque Forgotten Beasts, to create a series of bosses! Awesome ideas so far, thank you so much for all the input! :yay: Here's an idea based on what you got:

Perhaps there are different boss difficulties, each requiring a minimum score to beat, but the score accumulates if you can't beat them in one round. So a boss requiring 10 points would be defeatable in one round where you get 10, or two rounds of 7 and 3. There's the option to fight as a group, where your points add up and thus can down a boss much faster (though of course stacking 3 men on an easy boss is going to be overkill). Of course the required score to beat is hidden though, to prevent math-based optimization.

Each boss drops "loot", aka points, which people will need to decide how to distribute if they fight as a group. Do you take on bosses solo to have all points to yourself? Will there be factions that boost one of their members by forming big groups and downing even the hard bosses in one round then giving all the points to that one guy?

The problem I see with this is that it's going to be a very 'linear' progression with no surprise twists, unless people go for risky plays. That, and there will be no player interaction outside of the co-op groups. Hmm... should we throw in some PvP rounds where players with lots of points are worth points for defeating?

You know if it's allowed you could make it more like a video game and have classes and stuff where the person picks one and gets temporarily new moves, powers and proficiencies (and can't use there normal stuff for the duration of the thing) also count me interested.

Something in that vein is going to happen in the Shardworld's main game. I think it would be a bit too complicated to put in classes for the tournament.
