Duelling in Spaaaaaaace!

[jason taylor]

Dueling is based primarily on social and cultural considerations, unlike out and out warfare whose rules are seldom limiting on techniques. For this reason it is perfectly possible to imagine a future society that duels with obsolete weapons or ultra tech weapons or anything in between.

For martial games I envisioned what I call a scoresuit which is designed to protect the player from serious injury as well as to record the nature of the blow. This makes it perfectly possible to have a fairly realistic match with any weapon.
