So I thought it might be a cool idea to get the creative juices going by posting some ideas of non-numeric resolution mechanics that we can come up with. The more outlandish the better!
I'll start us off:
Musical Contests - All contests are resolved via rap battles or singing competitions.
Eating Contests - The person to eat the most donuts wins (beware the hungry GM).
Color Matching - The winner is the person who can mix paints to most exactly match the shade of color determined by the GM.
Simon Says - The first person to make a mistake playing Simon Says (only do the action stated if "Simon says") loses the contest.
Realism Mode - Actual sword fights, with actual swords. First person to die loses.
What ideas can you come up with?
