Join us as I run a game of World Wide Wrestling for Rachelle Dube, Robert Angus, Paul Staxx Spraget and Joe Amon.
This session we play out the second year of Gage Valley Wrestling’s Annual PPVs, Christmas Carnage.
This year the show is live before a crowd of inmates at Gauntlet City Penitentiary where we bring Christmas cheer, chillies and a drunken Santa. Lets only hope that it doesn’t end in a riot.
I have to admit, i’ve really been digging playing longer series of games with the same wrestler.

I’ve played in 10 sessions now in Lowell’s Gauntlet league wrestling and it’s been great to see how the story arch of the character moves on and how the change of gimmick echoes that.
the wrestler started off as an antihero who came into the league as the masked vigilantee “Anon” fighting the influence of the Leagues on screen owner, the Dastarld Jeremy Bleakwood.
She unmasked herself during the PPV, revealing that she was Jeremy’s Long lost sister, the villainous Clarabelle bleakwood, who had been tricking people into giving up their identities to power her dark magic.
Coming into Season 2 she shifted to the Ace playbook and proceeded to fued with the son of her fathers former Tag team partner leading into a match where both the parents of the wrestlers where in the audience.
Things went south for her when, as a result of a Hard move by Creative, her father had a shoot heart attack during the match, causing her to break character to see to his welfare.
With her father in hospital and with mounting medical fees, she was desperate for additional money to pay the hospital, leading to her moonlighting in her old profession, that of an MMA fighter, taking on the Celebrity Advanced role.
But all is not going well as the injuries sustained during the shoot fights she has done meaning she turned to painkillers to get through matches, shifting gimmick to The Wasted.
Now back in Gauntlet league once again, she promptly performed a face turn, saving her erstwhile enemy from a vicious beating. Announcing that her father is dying and he had regrets about things he has done to his former partner, she, as a dutiful daughter, has formed a tag team with the former target of her fued.
It will be interesting to see where this goes in the three remaining sessions but what i can say so far is phew, what a ride.
Second session of the Gage Valley Wrestling game I ran on the gauntlet rpg community.
Second session of the Gage Valley Wrestling game I ran on the gauntlet rpg community. This was the delayed second session as I came down with a viral infection that left me bedbound the week previous to this, complicated further by my computer being blow out by a power surge during the week. This session ended up with me using my tablet to record the audio and we did get through it eventually leading to s fun session.
Keep an eye out latter in the year for season 2 of Gage Valley Wrestling.

So, having played a wrestler who is basically there to do run ins and interrupt matches in Lowell’s recent game, I have to say… I don’t like the run in move.
I think for me the problem lies in having to target an (lets call it) “enemy” character. The choices on the move point toward doing a physical run in and lacks choices to “support” another character.
Ultimately, the moves only option of changing the booking of the match is by getting the opponent of the targeted character DQ’ed when you attack them. It does nothing for “distractions” or interfering in the match to the benefit of a character as opposed to being “against” a character.
I got around this somewhat in Gauntlet League Wrestling but using the Anti-Hero move “Rules? What Rules” But really, i find the whole options given by run ins to be uninspired
