Hello lovelies!

Burt's Martial Arts Tournament is coming back, and that means Brawling is back too! As of today, the Brawling system is switched on again and everybody has access to it at Transcendent rank.

If you missed it last year, Brawling is a tactical fighting minigame all about reading your opponent and timing your moves. You'll find everything you need to get started in HELP BRAWLING.

For those of you who brawled last year, here's what's new:
- You can now BRAWL FORFEIT to end a match early.
- There's a new ability to learn: AB BRAWLING COMMIT
- Defences now cost slightly more balance, so choose your moments carefully!

As always, I strongly recommend getting some practice in before the tournament. Burt's Brawling Hall at v83633 is open for anyone who wants to warm up against the NPCs, but nothing beats practising against another player. You guys are far sneakier!

And a friendly reminder while I have your attention: submissions for the design contest and the artisanal contest close in under 48 hours. If you've been sitting on an entry, now's the time to get it in!

Penned by my hand on Falsday, the 11th of Chakros, in the year 22 AC.
