Rule is posted in the Narthex. Pairings will follow soon.
Meanwhile, let's start discussing the rule )
Boomfrog, I took a liberty to slightly modify your rule (adding the part about negative points for letting opponent to summon) to make it work correctly with League scoring system (which is hermetical right now - one clan gains as much as the other loses). If it doesn't appeal to you - please PM me.

Good rule...though i wouldn't call it a "new spell".
looks like its gonna be missiles ahoy and gigantic monster mashups. Looks like the only way to kill a monster is with direct damage. And the best direct damage comes in the form of monsters. DSF is going to be the weapon of choice, land it and you get a monster plus get to take a plug at opponents monsters.
Can i also add that i have been paired with Vermont in every League month since the leagues conception. Is there some kind of magnetism between us? We ought to be bigger enemies, state of Vermont.
Monsters are nice, monsters are sweet,
my goblins they will eat your feet.
my ogres they will feast on knees,
my trolls take arms, despite your pleas.
My dagger is sharp, it will carve you up,
and hungry giants, your head, will sup.

That's 1/-1 point every time you summon a goblin, right? Not just the first time for each person?

Only the first time might be interesting. Would nicely add to ten.

Technically it wouldn't hurt, in a parafc game, 'cause next turn it'll still have 1 HP or be dead (no casting cure wounds on monsters), and you'll have to tell him to attack himself. But it is against the written rules.
The point is spelled out in the rule: "The point is that ogres effectively have only 1 hp, trolls and giants effectively have 2 hp."
The targeting rules are set up to enforce this change to monster health. You cannot make any move which games this intent. That said, I'd say you're not allowed to target a "dead" (targeting themselves this turn due to being out of March-rule-health) monsters with any Summoning spells, either.
Is that some rules errata?

heh, I love Toyo's songs. Makes me want to join in -
They did the mash.
They did the monster mash.
The Monster mash.
It was a graveyard smash.

Well, Saypin has the point. Keeping monster alive by telling it to attack self and shielding it _can_ be useful - you can summon at it later. So we need at least 2 errata - about killing 'dead' monsters and about scoring (http://slarty.proboards56.com/index.cgi?board=leaguepublic&action=display&thread=585&page=1#8637).
Waiting for the Boomfrog to comment.

I forget are we also doing any sort of life-point spreads?
Does it matter if I have 16 life to my opponent's dead?

Ok, for scoring the intent was for each monster summoned.
For the "low hp monsters" lets say, "they must be directed to attack themselves and they cannot be targeted by spells."

For the "low hp monsters" lets say, "they must be directed to attack themselves and they cannot be targeted by spells." Err... how would that work? I've been shielding my monsters in all my games to this point (though my monsters have not yet been reduced to where they must attack themselves) For clarity, do you mean: Monsters who reach a state where they attack themselves must be directed to attack themselves and may not be targeted by any spells. [edited for caps-lock violation] |

Monsters who reach a state where they attack themselves must be directed to attack themselves and may not be targeted by any spells. Sounds correct from over here! Monsters who should be dead if the RB backend followed the new rule may not be targeted by spells 'cause they shouldn't exist at all on that turn. |

maknud has got it correct. I hope that's clear.
