The Gladius 4e campaign is, as its name suggests, a 4th edition interpretation of the video game Gladius. A very, very loose interpretation.

The campaign goal from the outset has been for a very episodic feel; one town, one adventure, one level. The overarching plot is that the party is a school of gladiators who move from city to city, gathering the medals and certificates required to fight in the high tournaments, but every arena town seems to have its problems.
