I would love to see a dice friends campaign where you guys play the World Wide Wrestling RPG. It's so much fun to play and seeing you three (and potentially others that don't know wrestling as well) play as wrestlers in your own promotion (like UFW)
This game looks like a lot of fun if you're a wrestling fan. It's thematic as hell. But as Paul was pointing out at the end, the game does suffer from a "runaway leader" problem. Graham got so far ahead in the beginning that unless Adam and Beej teamed up to take him down (thus not developing their own engines), there was nothing they could do to stop him. Injecting a little more randomness into the game (such as with the random venues variant) would probably help.
Random venues helps. There's also a weaker money variant which gives you less reputation for money at the end which can help prevent people from running up a bankroll and blowing others out. The game was designed to cater towards those who make the best decisions, but that can mean that players can run off the game if they're allowed to operate unchecked. Sometimes the best thing the other players can do is identify someone who has a great turn and team up to kneecap them (buy their wrestlers, dirt sheet them, etc)
I've already watched this on twitch so I'm here for the *engagement*, but I also wanna say I really enjoyed this and I think it is something that you guys can definitely play again, maybe with some of the harder rules or different people?
Valentine = Megumi Kudo. Creator of the Vertebreaker (Shane Helms / Hurricane) AKA Kudome Valentine and renown deathmatch wrestler for the FMW promotion.
I've tried, I swear, but I just cannot with actual wrestling. And yet here I am, rewatching all 3 autumnal rumbles and being thoroughly entertained by this. Much love.
This suggestion probably comes up a lot, but have you tried not watching WWE stuff? There's plenty of other promotions out there that appeal to specific niches (comedy stuff = DDT or chikara, more serious style = NJPW, story focus = progress & aew, literal people putting on kaiju suits and wrestling anyway = kaiju big battel, etc)
I thought I wouldn't like this game, but it is really interesting to me and I actually got a few awesome images in my head of these matches! Awesome video guys!
Leva Bates costume in NXT was a Fallout Girl cosplay. Which is basically a blue jumpsuit with yellow highlights. So, Corey Graves, the bastion of pop culture references, just saw the blue pants and decided to call her that.
@@AspiringDryad They have an hour long side program called AEW Dark that uploads to their youtube channel every tuesday consisting of matches they didn't show on their TV program - that and the highlight clips they put up should at least give you enough to go off of! I've personally generally found Dark to be the better show the last two weeks or so anyway
The SWS episode they reference here is literally what got me into wrestling, whoops. Currently only watching NWA because it's free and I don't have the relevant TV channels.
I got really excited when they mentioned a new SWS episode... Then I realized this was a stream from two weeks ago and they were talking about one I've already seen.
So, if there WERE an Autumnal Rumble / UFW / LRRumble expansion, would we get the actual characters, or would we get Captain Ersatz versions like Book It! already has? Also: Special Announcement Ladder Match [image: shot from outside the apron, Mr. Tiddlywinks literally fighting a ladder while the rest of the Fatal Four Way Tag match looks on in awe/bemusement] Play at beginning of booking phase If you have fewer than 10 wrestlers in your roster, you may book matches with single wrestlers this booking phase in order to book 5 matches.
Because I’m a fucking dad the first thing I thought when hearing the name Dan Gan was put “Style” at the end and imagine him entering to a doctored version of the PSY song.
Not surprising that Katana and Joshi Queen is a 5 star match cause Katana=Asuka and if im guessing right, Joshi Queen=Io Shirai so yeah, styles plus that history is DEEP
Just so you know, Beej should have been able to play Viral Video at the end there since Katana and KV are compatible. They have a workrate of 4 each which means that was match rating of 5 😬
I made Doki-Doki Love-Love Wrestling Association in Fire Pro World Wrestling (Fire Promoter). My champion for a long time was Deku from My Hero Academia, who was an awful champ because he punched the shit out of every single person and always had squash matches (terrible match ratings). So I signed Okada who was finally able to beat him and carry him to a 95% match rating. So I sent him on excursion to Latin America where he can learn to do some lucha things. My tag champs are currently Tetsuya Naito and Saitama from One Punch Man.
Promised Neveland is not a movie, it's a show, and a REALLY good one. Adam bro if you liked Made In Abyss you'll like this too. We seem to have similar anime taste and yeah, two of my faves.
From a clearly game play view., this game seems to lack a comeback mechanic. It seems that if you get ahead round one, your advantage will snowball, unless you are really unlucky.
The Dirt Sheets and Special Announcements were added mainly as a way to allow people to come back when behind. Having cards to boost you up or to kneecap your opponents can help balance things out, but it's on the players to make the decision to purchase them. I usually recommend to new players that if someone has a huge turn and starts to pull away they kind of need to team up and focus on that player a bit in terms of signing key wrestlers away from them and Dirt Sheeting them. If everyone stays in their own bubble it's going to be hard to run down that momentum.
@@TabbyLavalamp Vampiro was huge, wore face paint and a t-shirt like the one pictured, and drew despite putting on dog shit matches. No one pays for Big Show.
I'm only about halfway through but this seems like it's not a game you play against each other - sure you *can* buy wrestlers the someone else wants but it's almost certainly hurting you as well as the other person (and so whoever else is playing gets ahead, relatively speaking). Just seems to be whoever gets the right cards at the right time gets ahead, without too much in the way of strategy
The strategy lies in making the right decisions at the right time. Particularly in purchasing venues, pushing jobbers, and buying expensive wrestlers vs. inexpensive ones. While there is a slight "luck of the draw" element to the game, experienced players will very consistently beat inexperienced ones.
The lucha promotion actually has no reason to buy luchas, does it? It doesn't give you any bonus for buying lucha, it gives other players a PENALTY to buying them. So it would be better to leave them on the table whenever possible so opponents have less choice of wrestlers or have to waste money.
Mexico City is one of the "better" venues, so having the almost exclusive ability to sign lucha wrestlers and then make a bunch of money off of them is typically the usual strategy, but using them to lock out the board is another possibility!
