Hey! For those of you who subscribe to my Patreon, I just posted the WWW:S2 playtest Gimmick sheets!

There’s six new ones:

The Ace is the top star who carries the company, always in title contention

The Young Boy is the rookie, here to learn, not to show off

The Luchadore is the iconic high-flying Lucha Libre competitor

The Cultural Champion is the (pop) cultural icon famous as a wrestler first, relied on to draw a crowd

The Indy Darling is the hot new thing, just breaking into the big leagues

The Shoot Fighter is the legit combat sports veteran

The content of these is close to what’s in the Google doc draft of the supplement, but they’re laid out to print and play with like the other sheets.

I’ll be leaving this PDF exclusive to Patreon backers for a little while. No pressure on anyone, but if you feel like chipping in $1 to check ’em out, that would be rad! If you’re ok waiting, they will go fully public in a few weeks.

Thanks to everyone who’s commented on the draft and otherwise given me things to think about in conversations here (Justin Phillips and Adam Goldberg triggered/influenced The Young Boy, in particular)!

Psst.

Previously limited to my patrons + special requesters, here’s the link for all y’alls to the WWWRPG:S2 working draft.

Feel free to leave comments! I can’t promise I’ll be able to respond or address them all, but they are very helpful as I work through the next stage of the draft.

Feel free to play with some, any or all of the new bits! Let me know how it goes, if you do.

Creative FAQ

Working on the WWWS2 manuscript, and Justin Hunt brought up a great point, that this is a good place to publish an official FAQ for Creative.

Questions:

How does “overriding Creative’s booking” work? What happens when multiple Moves that override Creative’s booking are made?

Isn’t the Heel Move ability to win matches unbalanced? What do you do if a Heel just uses it every match?

How do you emphasize the strengths, weaknesses and differences between NPWs when they don’t have Stats or roll dice?

What constitutes a feud? Who decides?  How many feuds should be going on at one time?  Can a wrestler be in more than one feud at a time?  When should a feud end?  Does ending a feud mean the two wrestlers aren’t booked together anymore?

Can Creative force a Role change, or is it always up to the player?

What’s your frequently asked question? Either from when you were first running the game, or something you see come up a lot?
