PVP fights with set XP creation (or set levels)

#1

Post by Doctor Who » Tue May 08, 2018 1:19 am

So one thing an older PbP site I was on did was PvP stuff.

Had a forum where you could get people, either a lot of a just two, together, set some level limits (this was Saga Edition Star Wars at the time), collectively decide on a map, and try out builds or ideas against each other.

I'm curious if anyone here would be at all interested in something like that? Genesys, Star Wars, D&D, or any other system would work.

What like a gladiator arena type of thing?

I mean, maps could be anything. Cool catacomb, arena, city streets, etc.

But yeah, sort of like a gladiator arena.

The only issue is getting a grid overlay with letters/numbers onto a map, or just relying on one microsoft paint, that would work too.


I'm just curious how many people would want to do something like this, if it's enough to warrant a forum of its own. They would be long, presumably only a couple days (or less with Star Wars by FFG given the low wound value compared to how much damage things could do).

Heck, it'd even be fun to just mess around with pre-gens, like a two on one of Vader vs Ahsoka and Maul for instance, or Ghost crewmembers versus each other.

I'm sure there are plenty of pre rendered maps with grids that could be used.

True, but yeah, hoping to get some other bites on this.

This can be a lot of fun. We actually had a full tournament on the FFG Star Wars Forums: Sorry about the Mess. I got second place with a Mercenary Soldier/Demolitionist grenade bot, but the folks with Coordination Dodge just danced over everyone else with their ability to shrug off huge amounts of damage.

That said, it was fun, and with some rules in place to prevent overbalanced talents, it would work.

Good luck @Swrider! Honestly I think it would be fun. A Gun Gale Online style game would be a blast. And as long as someone was willing to play as a referee for a game you wouldn't need a dedicated GM.

The referee could rotate per battle so anyone who wanted to play could. Shock boxing to ship battles that aren't campaigns would make the play rather quick.

You don't even really need GMs as long as it's two at a time, and everyone agrees on starting stuff.

Could always start a thread and we can have a debut fight to draw in the crowds!

Well, we'd need a forum to actually stick it in, right?

EDIT: We'd need a name too.

In the PvP we did, GMs rotated in and out. Some matches didn't even have a GM. If someone rolled a Triumph, for instance, they'd say something like, "I'm going to use the Triumph to trigger a lava geyser that hits you for 5 damage, Burn 2. Is that cool?" It did help to have a GM from time to time, but that role could very well be different for each match. Most matches were over in three rounds or fewer, but we started with a decent amount of XP (and this was Star Wars, so D&D would be different).

The moderator has other functions besides just being a GM. Such as informing an admin if a problem arises during a game or within a forum.
