In March 2006, some of the WotC designers for D20 posted an interesting design article on how they prepare encounters for tournament play, which they called "The Delve Format" named after the Dungeon Delve encounters they ran.<br /><br />The original article has long since disappeared from the WotC site, but is resurrectable courtesy of the Internet Archive:<br />https://web.archive.org/web/20161031212753/http://archive.wizards.com/d… /><br />For the fun of it, I've taken my stab at preparing the first combat encounter in SFAD5 "Bugs In The System" with my interpretation of a Delve format encounter.<br /><br />It is assumed you have a Referee Screen, but just in case not, I also threw the robotics skills on the page since they are the most likely skills needed for the encounter.<br />But, its pretty much guaranteed someone forgot their robcomkit on the the starship they arrived on since they didn't need it for a formal dinner. A slight complication...<br /><br />Just posting this here as an idea for those who haven't seen such before, and as a way to fish out any protips those of you have from running Star Frontiers in a convention setting...<br /><br />SFAD5 Bugs In The System - Beta Section - The Incident - Moneyspider - Deck 6 - Room M25a<br /><img src="/files/u31010/D5-Beta_Section-The_Incident-Room_M25a_Delve.png" alt="The Incident in Delve format" title="SFAD Beta Section The Incident M25a Delve Format" width="800" height="665" />
