Our #makethisbattle process has been on hiatus this year, but we are bringing it back and we'll be running monthly rounds between now and the end of the year.

For this first new round the theme is "The Real Deal". Very simply we are just looking for matchup ideas that feature two real life characters, rather than fictional ones.

All patrons are invited to submit three different match-up ideas each. No more than three! You can post them in the comments below, email them to erbpatreon@gmail.com or post them on the ERB Discord server in the dedicated '#makethisbattle' channel.

A total of five match-ups will be selected for feedback from Peter or Lloyd. We will post up the feedback next month, alongside a poll for all patrons to vote on. We'll also publish a poll over on our YouTube community page to see what the wider fanbase think about them all.

The matchup that receives the highest number of votes will also appear in a future batch of matchup reaction short videos when we film them. 

In December we will select our favourite overall match-up idea that has previously been submitted and one patron will win a prize from ERB. (Note: if multiple patron submitted the same idea then we shall select the recipient at random from those names that made the submission)

If you haven't checked out the ERB2 reaction shorts yet - you can find them here:

Attila the Hun vs Hannibal Barca, Rome's greatest enemies. Oda Nobunaga vs Otto Von Bismarck, two unifiers of their countries Davy Crockett vs Billy the Kid; both who were romanticized in folklore...also because you haven't done all of the Bill and Ted historical figures since you had a stand in for Billy the Kid in Bill and Ted vs Lewis and Clark.

I so want to see the rap battle between Sir Isaac Newton versus Gottfried Wilhem Leibniz. Both argued who discovered calculus in public discourse and the arguments continue to this day. It hits at both math nerds and history nerds.

Please do H.P. Lovecraft vs. Douglas Adams! (cosmic horror vs. cosmic humor)

Scott Nap

Bring Neil Gaiman in to calm them down/take them out, considering he's written stories inspired by both or books about them. POW. That's a huge win.

always thought Dwight D. Eisenhower vs. Ulysses S. Grant would be cool - military generals turned U.S. presidents

Lanie Deadrock

Please consider doing Geralt of Rivia vs. Kratos

How about Tomoe Gozen vs Oda Nobunaga? Battle of the feudal Japanese warriors! My favorite game is coming out with a pack of the two battling, so it'd be fun to see!
