With the era of inclusion, and the rise of game streaming and esports, player versus player combat is becoming more acceptable as a format in D&D.
There are two groups that I know of that are working on rule sets and making a push for this to happen. Both have the same basic concept, with a few minor differences.

Personally, I enjoy the idea, I'm more into combat than RP. I've been running a small 5e Fight Club on Discord, with a casual setting. Come and go as you like, build a character, then jump into 1v1 fights. It's been great for people that don't want a long time commitment. And serves as a "training ground" for new players to learn more about 5e's combat system.
I'm also working on taking these ideas and building a "story lite" PVE rule set, with some of the same functionality (heavily influenced by CoD: Zombies). That can be run quickly, possibly in a tournament setting. Survive through waves of creatures. Using skill checks to open up new areas on a map (increasing the number of creatures per wave, or something to that effect). Only using items and gear found within the map. Traps and multi-step puzzles to complete map objectives or unlock "power-ups".
I'm curious as to what other's opinions are on PVP in D&D (Has there been any talk about this subject on the podcast?). Any input on a fast-paced "story-lite" PVE rule set?
