Tangentially related, I have a copy of this sitting around in my stack of tabletop games I bought at tag sales for real cheap and I should rewrite the flavor stuff to be AEW-related



The System Mastery episode for this game is great. Apparently instead of "race" they have weight classes, and the only one worth picking is super heavyweight.

Shida/Statlander has good name potential, but I want them to be singles competitors, especially because there isn't any real team to oppose them.

Hey Eddy Webb is a friend of mine! There's a newer game called World Wide Wrestling that recently finished it's Kickstarter for a second edition that looks good too, I backed it even though I haven't actually played a tabletop game in the better part of a decade.

Oh man, we bought World Wide Wrestling a while back from a local game shop but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Seems like a bunch of fun.

Fantasy Flight Games narrative dice system is what AEW deserves.

West End d6 system or GTFO.

(no, you're right, I just hate the FF system when it comes to Star Wars. FF would work perfectly with professional wrestling)

Would there be enough interest to either have someone be weighed down as running it, or would a booking committee of the players be possible becomes my like actual question.

WWW rules because the GM is basically just the booker but otherwise isnt terribly involved, and the goal is to make interesting matches happen not to "win", and players not involved in the match currently happening can be the announcers for it. i ran it like 5 years ago and the promotion was WCW in the year 3000. there was a secret John Cena belt and if someone could figure out the puzzles to challenge for it then John Cena would emerge from the timestream to defend the belt that he had always held, it was made for him to get him out of the main event scene. you can do anything in games. games are fun. play them with friends

I really like how AEW has adopted New Japan's style of "tag match undercard" to keep things from getting stale with rematch after rematch of singles wrestlers. Plus, I'm sure it's nice for everyone not having to wrestle a full-blown singles match every week.

I so need to play World Wide Wrestling. I own both books of the first edition and backed the second edition (digital files out in October?).

One Shot RPG did a play of the game, and Colt Cabana was one of the players.

Part One: https://oneshotpodcast.com/one-shot/world-wide-wrestling/
Part Two: http://oneshotpodcast.com/one-shot/world-wide-wrestling-part-2/
Part Three: http://oneshotpodcast.com/one-shot/210-world-wide-westling-part-3/

I do need to actually play it at some point.

I kind of want to buy the wrestling game RumbleSlam, but mostly so I can paint the minis. I don’t know if the game is any good or not. It looks like Blood Bowl but wrestling. It’s probably not that good. But the minis look kinda cool.

the AEW video game will be an MMO brawler based on the DC Universe MMO. This is Kenny's fault.

Speaking of wrestling and games, I wish someone would make a fun promotion manager simulator somewhere between what happens in a WWE video game and TEW2016

Just a really solid well designed simulator w/ 5-10 feet of depth instead of 20,000 leagues under the crunch

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

tbh White Wolf's storytelling system is the greatest RPG system because its stupidly free form. They'd adopted it from their usual werewolves and vampire fare to a near futuristic super hero setting which included Ric Flair as the eventual successor to both Vince McMahon and Dana White.

Except for the most recent system being written by neonazis.

After Cody and Mox told Darby he was grounded, Darby ran to his third dad.

Darby is probs in the new tony hawk. Can he get other wrestlers in? Can kenny omega be in? Can he bring Megalovania as a special track?
