Wow, I am so sorry I will miss Pennsic this year.  However, the 600th anniversary of Azincourt calls...

     Good afternoon my Brothers and Sisters of the Bow. I have decided on the theme for the 5th St. Sebastian's shoot next year; it will be based on "Dungeons and Dragons." The thought in this theme is to make the shoot more fun and a bit more random in scoring, everyone responds well to the "Chance" shoots we held this past year. So in your target design, I am looking for things like this; here is an example of one of the targets I will be designing.      
    
    
     
    
    
     D&D Dice Hanging targets;     
    
    
     
    
    
     Each archer will roll 4 dice based on their type of bow; once rolled, the archer must shoot those representative point values to get those points.     
    
    
     
    
    
     Crossbow shooters will shoot the 1d6 dice as Crossbows in D&D scored 1d6 for points     
    
    
     Hand bows will shoot the 1d4 dice as bows in D&D scored 1d4 for points     
    
    
     
    
    
     So you determine how many points you get by which representative numbers you shoot based on the roll of your dice first.     
    
    
     
    
    
     Also I will be putting little gelatinous cubes on my targets so if you miss and hit those, you loose your points because your arrow or bolt was consumed by the cube.     
    
    
     
    
    
     
    
    
     I think this gives us many possibilities and it helps make the shoot a bit more fun because it introduces some randomness to it as well. So those "eagle eye shooters" that win year after year have the same odds in the rolls as any of the other archers do.      
    
    
     
    
    
     So I'm looking for each target to have a dice roll and also to include some type of bad monster to act as a foe if you hit them. Maybe dice rolls can be a saving throw after an archer has shot, so lets say they shot for 25 points, if they don't make their saving throw they might loose a third of their points, or something like that.      
    
    
     
    
    
     Lets have fun with this!     
    
    
     
    
    
     In Service,     
    
    
     
    
    
     Janyn
