I’m gearing up to run my first session of World Wide Wrestling on Saturday.

I’m gearing up to run my first session of World Wide Wrestling on Saturday. I’ve got at least three or four potential players. All of whom are fans of wrestling. Only one of them has any experience with roleplaying however. And that’s restricted primarily to D&D. I’m going to run them through the Quickstart Scenario. So that helps a little, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice. On teaching the game to people who’ve either never role-played before or only have a background in D&D. Any advice would be appreciated.

Alright, I have created a Discord channel for World Wide Wrestling.

Okay….I just stumbled upon this group and holy shit I want IN lol! I’ve never played, but am fairly familiar with the ideas and concepts of PbtA games. I’ve watched a few actual plays, and am a lifetime wrestling fan. It seems like there is a few ongoing promotions with proper vignettes and stuff going on here and that sounds incredible to me. How can I be a part of this :)?

So, I’ve been running a game using the UPG promotion from the core rule book. So far my group has really enjoyed it.

One of the things I’ve wanted to do in the game is run a Torneo Cibernetico, which is essentially a 8 (or more) man elimination tag match, so I’ve been giving a lot of thought to how I would accomplish this. Of course, the tag team rules include pins that result from refusing tags, but I don’t feel that would move the match along quickly enough. I could also adapt some of the moves from the Regal Wrangle to facilitate eliminations.

My question is, what do you guys think is the best way of handling a match such as a Survivor Series or Torneo Cibernetico in WWW? Any suggestions or stories of actual play experience would be a big help!

New to the game and prepping my first session here (4 players + me, all RPG and wrestling fans).

New to the game and prepping my first session here (4 players + me, all RPG and wrestling fans). I have some questions, mostly regarding NPWs, which is something I can’t seem to wrap my head around.

1: If NPWs don’t make rolls, do they ever botch or are they “perfect” wrestlers? I know Creative ultimately has control but it seems weird to intentionally railroad your own plans.

2: How realistic is it to make up character sheets for each NPW and have them played (by a player who isn’t in the ring, much like the Announcer) as Talent (tracking stats, momentum, etc) for Talent vs. NPW matches? To me this seems like it would make the show feel more “alive” and allow NPWs to develop in terms of who the champ is, or who has heat with who, etc, which gives Talent more options for interaction with the larger world.

3: How does Heat work with NPWs if it’s not tracked? For example if a player is feuding with an NPW, are they at a disadvantage compared to PvP feuds that can hit the “+4 Heat with each other gains 1 Audience” mark at the end of a match?

Hey all, this was our first ever session of the RPG that was live on my Twitch channel ( twitch.tv/truemrleedles ) and it had a few surprises to it. The in-ring debut of Damian Black, a Tag Title defense from our new tag champs El Alcoholico and RoZo The Giant, as well as the CCW X-Treme Championship changing hands TWICE in one night! It was a wild episode, and hopefully you’ll watch and stay tuned for the next episode!
