D&D 3E/3.5 Special olympics
- Thread starter abe ray

In the Shackled City Adventure Path - in Dungeon magazine and published by Paizo as a book - there was a 3.5e adventure about the Flood Festival in Cauldron (Greyhawk) that had some fun contests and a ball. Fan authors added more In Paizo’s discussions of “SCAP”.
In my 3.5e Greyhawk campaign, I had a Midsummer Festival at the Keep on the Borderlands with archery, wrestling, and swimming contests (you can figure out rules).
And I had a baking contest and singing contest to suit my players’ interests and their characters abilities. Simple skill checks for the PC and some NPC’s.
Prizes were related to the contests, like a bow or a gig singing at the inn, but it was mostly for fun.
I didn’t think about Special Olympics, but definitely go for it. Your own creativity on contests will be great!

A suffusion of yellow
For my Legends of Hawaiki setting I started each new campaign with a Festival, which always include races (usually with at least one sharp corner that needs a dex check), combat (wrestling/martial arts), archery and spear throwing. Once I even ran a murder-ball game (5 teams) down the main road of a street, with lots of ensuing chaos.
Combat mechanics and skill challenges are a good model for accumulating successes and overcoming difficult terrain and obstacles.
