Hey, tonight I came up with an interesting question (which I haven't my own answer for yet)... so, when did you first run, and/or play, an Indie Game?

So ever since the thread on the Forge about setting a game of Contenders in Renaissance France with competitive fencing, I've been mulling over an idea for running Contenders set in ancient Rome world with gladiators instead of boxers. I'm planning to run it at Conception, but am wondering whether the game can be run "as is."

The world of the gladiator was very much like the world of Contenders - gladiatorial combat was a sport, after all, albeit a far more brutal sport than boxing. So the basic structure of the game will stay the same, but I think that some consideration needs to be placed on this brutality.
