“Here’s the thing about wrestlers: we want them to be larger than life. Gods amongst men. When we were kids, we gravitated towards people who couldn’t exist. Hulk Hogan was giant and muscular and burnt sienna and could lift a 500 pound giant. The Ultimate Warrior was this space creature who breathed like a pug and couldn’t take damage and rambled in ancient code. Sting painted his face like a flag and could jump from the middle of the ring to the corner. He could pick up guys like Vader when he shouldn’t be able to. Undertaker was a zombie mortician with lightning powers and a burn victim brother that could summon fire. Even the secondary players were big. Rick Rude could make women faint with a kiss. Ric Flair rode around in jets and limousines with his one-percenter friends. Ted DiBiase had a MILLION DOLLARS.”

So true.

Also? NXT TakeOver: R Evolution was the best live event/PPV/what have you that I’ve seen since Wrestlemania 30. GO WATCH IT IF YOU CAN.

In the meantime, I’ve been working on the posters with the art I do have. I’ll be sending out an update to everyone when they’re done (and so poster reward backers can select theirs), but if anyone wants to check out the current status…

Is there any chance of keeping our online game going? I kind of want to see the saga continue.

A small, but significant change to the Run-In Move based on discussion here and reflection on some actual play:

Run-In: When you interrupt a match in-progress, roll +Heat with the character you’re coming after (establish Heat at +1 if necessary). 

– On a 10+: you gain +1 Heat with each other and you pick one from the 7-9 list

– On a 7-9: gain 1 Momentum and your target picks one: they win the match by DQ; Creative books the two of you in a match later in this Episode; their opponent comes after you for interfering in the match.

So, more adaptable to different situations, doesn’t require as much explanation for non-wrestling folk, meaningfully differentiates between the 10+ and 7-9 result, and escalates the situation a little more sharply, I think.

I have a question about the move feat of strenght, on a 7-9 what does it means to put yourself/them at risk of injury? How does it happens in game, or what kind of constraint does it imply?

Yes, I’m telling you Nathan Paoletta! 🙂
