Great time tonight.
Great time tonight. Had a “Raising the Barre” match, which, despite great pomp, was “a ballet barre is attached to one of the ring ropes”. (It was inspired by the ex-Ballerina Athlete).
Competitors made great use of the narrow length of board, hitting backflips off it, sliding it into opponent’s midsections, and using it for a running headscissors takedown.
What gimmick matches has everyone run lately?

What’re some mechanical ways to put wrestlers in the crosshairs?
What’re some mechanical ways to put wrestlers in the crosshairs?
There’s always fictional positioning (your opponent won’t put you over, your tag team partner is blotto, the ref doesn’t know the finish), but how can we set mechanical goals?
I.e: Beat the Clock Challenge: Gain 5 Momentum and hit your finisher within 4 exchanges.

I like the themes of training, self-destruction and violence, but the background doesn’t give or take strings on other PCs there aren’t a lot of ways to interact negatively with other PCs. “Mercy” is the only one that’s helpful, and it requires you to be pretty violent (or have a low “I’m gonna kill you” threshold).

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?!

So I’ve played about 7-8 sessions of WWWPRG and I’ve found that Power and Work can be dump stats. The ability to use Look (and a strong understanding of your gimmick) or Heat (after a good promo) mean that puny non-technicians can go far!
Obviously, with four stats, having a deficiency anywhere should create problems. (With no problems, there’s no drama, and no drama means you’re playing TEW2015).
So in the interest of expanding moves, here are some new basics I think would be cool.
“Town to Town”
When you get ahead on the road with sheer grit, Roll +Power.
On a 10+, you outlast all competitors: you make the overnight drive, finish the five pound sirloin or get to the show despite a 102 degree fever. You gain +1 momentum and someone’s admiration, even if they don’t show it.
On a 7-9, you do it, but choose one:
-You’re shown a sign of your mortality
-Someone does it better than you; they gain +1 heat with you.
-A rumor about you spreads.
“This is my life”
When you show someone outside the business how much wrestling means to you, Roll +Work.
On a 10+, they see you in a new light: gain +1 momentum and their understanding.
On a 7-9, they get the message, but pick one:
-You tell them something about your life, before wrestling.
-You’re compared to someone you hate.
-An obligation is created about you and wrestling. What is it?
So last Tuesday’s go home show for Husman’s was a 3 on 3 cage match.
So last Tuesday’s go home show for Husman’s was a 3 on 3 cage match. It ended with Tawni blasting the Outlaw Jodi Wales in the face with hairspray, The Prep finishing his eternal rivals the King’s Court, and…
Double-Barrel Daisy being kidnapped by a bird woman? Who grabbed her from the top of an open cage? And next week the Rodeo Ranch Championship’s on the line?
What’s the weirdest thing that’s happened in your WWWRPG game so far?

When you start a match you don’t want, Roll +Frustration.
On a 10+, you hit your opponent in the genitals with a microphone.
On a 7-9, you gain +1 heat with an opponent, but something will explode midmatch.
