An extension for any ruleset that supports a turtle-racing mini-game.

To use, simply enable the "Festival - Turtle Race" extension when loading your campaign.

Players can back a selected turtle (and click on it to roll for it). The DM can roll for any turtles, and also roll a random event each round.

Achievements (compatible with the Achievement Tracker (https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/2838/view)) are provided.

Tested and works well in the Traveller Ruleset.

Will be a quirky thing to throw at my players in a Sci Fi setting.

Thanks!

Enjoy!

You could extract the ext, and replace the graphics. Droids instead of turtles :)
Just keep the same sizes and names. Let me know how it goes!

Found a quirk, not sure if you can change it.

It appears that the selector is based on Player login not Character Name. So Players who control multiple characters can only choose one contestant.

Is that a changeable thing in the code?

Done! I added a right-button menu, so the clients can back a turtle as any of their characters, and the DM can "assign" a turtle to any character (from the Party Sheet).

If that blimey Crab didnt pick on me I could win. xD
Also, blue one gets 1dsomething boost far too many times, he probably bribes the referee! :D
