Useful NPCS!
The hardest part of making a league is creating 12-15 existing wrestlers. Post some of your oddballs and challenges, people who’ll give PCs a hard time.
Here’s one:
“Mr. Brawls” Will Rawls should’ve retired 5 years ago, but he’s the manager to the stars, baby! Maybe he should manage you. You don’t want him to manage you? You’re the wrong alignment? Well, maybe management should hear you showed up 3 minutes late in Omaha. Want to see pictures of his grandkids?!
John Galt whose finisher is the Atlas Shrug. You thought HHH cut long promos!
“Deadman” Dave Sturgis, who’s 7’3″ and a legit badass. And is trying to get you involved in his MLM scheme, or else.
I have ideas for NPCs, but they mostly exist to serve as launching points for the PCs to overcome/get into the spotlight.
Mr. Know-It-All: a heelish manager that works in a pseudo APA manner, his client hired out for favors, that are cashed in as huge swerved.
After reading the gimmick playbooks, I just wound up making a bunch of wrestlers until I had at least one character for each gimmick.
I may get to play one or two of them. The rest will become NPWs.
Kenneth “The Rogue” Pogue: An Anti-Hero wrestler who is also a professional thief. He’s actually trying to get over so that he’ll be a part of the PPV in Monaco two months from now. He has a heist planned, and maybe there’s a spot for YOU in his crew…
Jules Tesla, a relatively fresh green horn trying to make a steam punk gimmick work with his Flippy Shit, spot monkey tendencies. In other words, he is all style, no substance.
Sean Walsh I love that idea so much for so many different games
I blame too much binge-watching of Leverage for “The Rogue”.
I think you’d have to do Pogue’s storyline with Lucha Underground-style vignettes where the crew gets put together, setbacks are encountered, the heist goes down, and of course, a traitor is revealed…
The “NEW” Sunshine Express:
They’re doing your old tag team gimmick. And the crowd likes them more.
You could get your old tag team back together, but you kind of ‘got entangled’ with your old partner’s wife.
PVC, a hardcore ripoff of the rapper DMX. He’s well known for attacking people with pieces of plastic pipe. Last time he was seen, the PC Hardcore had beat him in a falls count anywhere match, with the Curb-Stomp, on the actual curb.
Mouse & Elephant: Elephant is the biggest hoss in the tri-state area. Mouse is the boss’s 9 year old daughter, and while she’s over as hell, the boss’s husband doesn’t want her in the ring.
You’re facing them next, booked to win, and Elephant won’t put you over!
