Hi Friends! Reposting from my public stream – 

I’m actually pretty excited for the WWE Battleground show tonite, so to celebrate I’ve put up a $5 discount code for all WWWRPG stuff in my online store. Use code BATTLEGROUND, easy! This basically makes domestic shipping free, and takes a large chunk out of international shipping, if that’s been holding you back.

It’ll only be active through midnight tonite, so this a good time to pick up the book or any of the merch you might have been interested in but have yet to order!

I was making dumb jokes about making a RPG Vice RPG on twitter, which led to actually getting an idea and having an excuse to work with one of my favorite under-talked-about games, a cyberpunk game called Remember Tomorrow.

Anyway, RPG Vice is now a thing! It’s a crime drama game set in “hollywood” Roppongi. Play should feel like movies like Snatch, lots of quick, interleaving storylines and frenetic pacing.

Folks who back my Patreon have the file now. There’s some dumb wrestling jokes in it for those who know how to look, but it’s really not about wrestling at all.

But! A bit of a pitch to maybe take a look at my Patreon if you’re interested in supporting my general body of work (including doing more on WWWRPG) – https://www.patreon.com/ndpaoletta

Regardless it’ll go up as a download on my site next week.

Here’s an idea I’m going to working on for THE SUPPLEMENT (I’ll figure out a title at some point too).

Here’s an idea I’m going to working on for THE SUPPLEMENT (I’ll figure out a title at some point too).

Mythic Moments – these are 12+ results. The deal is, when you roll a 12+, you spend all your Momentum and make a Mythic Moment.

Like, say on Cut A Promo

– on a 12+, spend all your Momentum and create a Mythic Moment. Your promo becomes part of pro wrestling canon. Pick 1:

– Simply referencing this promo counts as Cheap Heat, for everyone.

– The bootleg of your promo goes viral. Gain +1 Audience.

– This takes you to the next level. Take an Advanced Role immediately (without spending an Advance or taking an Episode off).

I think once you have a Mythic Moment on one Move, you can’t have another one. Or maybe the threshold goes up (like, you need to roll a 15+ for a second Mythic Moment, then 20+, etc)

And maybe “unlocking” Mythic Moments is a promotion-level thing (like, once your promotion gains more audience then they become available to everyone).

Anyway, a thing for “advanced”/long-term play, both to add a new layer of cool stuff and to create a way to sink those big pools of Momentum that experienced players/characters tend to build up.

Thoughts? This is a nascent stage of an idea still. 

Kevin Owens and Brock Lesnar both using +Real moves to swerve the booking. Good stuff.

So surreal to hear commentary talking about Dragongate on a WWE show.

Watching wrestling, happy 4th of July to me!

I designed a shirt for indy standout and former ROH regular Tommaso Ciampa. He’s probably my favorite indy wrestler right now. If he’s on a card near you, it is worth going!

And if you think the shirt is cool, buy one! It helps him out and helps me out. (There’s a red option as well which is p dope).

(as per usual, I skip the first 15 minutes to just get to the interview)

His story is so, so sad, top to bottom. Worth listening to to really hear about some of the real-life effects of how “the business” works, including the pressure to do stuff just to keep your spot, and how what he’s best know for (hardcore bloody garbage matches) is something he never actually liked or wanted to do.

Heartbreaking stuff, tho, be prepared. Thankfully it sounds like he’s clean and working out his current medical issues with a positive mindset. But still. Yikes.

There’s a youcaring page for helping with his current medical expenses, btw: http://www.youcaring.com/brian-knighton-361288

That’s amazing!

We have a small core of dedicated posters (and y’all are the best), but I would love to know from those of you who are more lurkers/readers: what could we do to make this a more accessible, useful and entertaining place for you?
