| Lost Worlds Tournament |
Presenting: Texicon's Lost Worlds Tournament. Lost Worlds is a flip book combat game system, produced by Flying Buffalo, that
faces two opponents against each other. Each Lost World book contains pictures that show what a player is doing. The player
gives his flip book to his opponent. The opponent will see, after cross referencing the players action and turning to the proper
page, what the player is doing. Play continues until one player's character dies. This game simulates character combat as it
would be seen if the player were actually facing his opponent. The game, once learned is easy and fun to play. Moreover, most
characters are balanced, but some characters are more powerful, thus presenting a more difficult challenge to win.
For our tournament, we have selected the various characters that are balanced. This means that players will not be able to pick
the Manticore or similar powerful characters. This has been done to ensure a level playing field. So, come join in the Lost Worlds
Tournament on Saturday from 8:00am to 8:45 every year at Texicon!

Prizes: winners will win extra bonuses in every game they play on Saturday. These bonuses will be created and given to the winners
by the GMs of the games on Saturday. Bonuses will be fitting to the level of the winner. There will be a 1st place winner, 2nd place
winner, and a 3rd place winner.
Examples of a 1st place prize for a Role-Play game could be: a powerful magic item unique to that character, a special ability for a
super-hero, a special robot for Sci-Fi role play, the ability to heal one's self or others fully once per day, etc. Needless to say the
possibilities are endless. Rest assured, the powers, items, and or abilities will be designed to reflect the fact that this person is THE
1st place winner, 2nd place winner, or 3rd place winner of the Lost Worlds Tournament. Remember, these bonuses are designed to
give the winners an extra edge that other players do not have WHILE still not overbalancing the game. So, GMs will have to design
the bonuses/prizes that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners get.
Winners will receive a certificate that they take to the games they play. Players must present the certificate to the GM in order to
obtain their bonuses/prizes (i.e. whatever you want to call it).
