YAAAAAAY! I'm so happy!

[ViceCityMobster86]

Excellent

[ThePhenomenalOne]

Sweet sassy molassey! It's been quite sometime since I've participated in one of these!

[RakaiThwei]

I may participate...

But hopefully, we won't have to deal with Looney Tunes characters without The Dip in straight up fights. Cause those guys are really effin' broken.

[IKA]

Update: Slot 2 revealed!


I know these may seem like generic things so far, but I promise there is a twist you'll all enjoy!

More excellence

So for the leader one is this a hero? The way it's described it sounds like a bad idea to select Doctor Doom or Megatron or somebody like that.

Just a leader, doesn't matter good or bad.

Slot 3 revealed!

Another slot added!

[leroypowell3]

Ya'll better get to putting in these wrestlers! I remember the days when Fox said 'No wrestlers'. So now we're way behind in the available pool. 

[JohnnyChany]

Can it be a fictional professional wrestler (like Mike Haggar or King of Dinosaurs)?

No, it has to have been a real person.

(Comic book versions of said characters such as Undertaker also would not count.)

Remaining slots revealed!

[RakaiThwei]

I'm not sure I'm feeling this one.

I know what he's saying. This one got some out there categories. 

But that's actually what the Fantasy Draft is all about. Something different. I wouldn't really know but I'd venture that nobody on the internet does 'this'. 

So I say take up the challenge. learn some new characters.

Make this site great!

Question about the Wizard Slot. There are several characters in the Fantasy Database that would fit the criteria of not being used and being called a wizard, but they don't follow the merlin archetype. Would they still be usable?

Pretty much this.

A lot of the categories I either am not feeling or just really don't like-- such as the wrestling one. I don't watch WWE, AEW, TNA. I only know ECW and early CZW. But other than that, I don't like wrestling.

Toons? I don't see the issue of toons being resolved because they're just SO BROKEN against most other representations of fictions. Only a toon can defeat a toon, unless Dip is involved.

Video game merchants? Aside from the girls from Soul Calibur III, I don't know any nor am I interested.

I'm just not feeling the slots.

[Mercenaryblade]

I know a character I'd love to add for the VG merchant but she has no wiki, not even a mention...

As long as there is a wiki to her series, I'll accept it.
