The Coliseum (Recruitment/Rules/Discussion Thread.)
« on: January 3, 2013, 06:33:25 PM »
It is the 51st Millennium and for the first time in remembered history the universe knows peace. At first many people (Excluding the Orks) rejoiced at the thought of it and soon whole cities comprised of every race and faith were born. It didn’t take long however before everyone realised, peace is boring, and unrest began to build in the lower classes as their boredom grew, the now useless warrior class soon joined in.

The Highlords of Terra in a desperate bid to maintain the peace, and fund the Emperor’s latest science project, created the Coliseum now the most viewed Warp-vision show in the Universe. Warriors from every planet, every race and of every creed would come together and in these one on one gladiatorial combats would attempt to earn their fame and fortune.

The battles started as merely a fight until one was left unconscious or so broken and bloody they had to surrender. This is still the case for the most part, however sometimes as a special treat for the bloodthirsty crowd there will be a fight to the death where true legends of the arena will put it all on the line.

So are you man or Xenos enough to enter the arena? Sign on now at your nearest recruitment centre!


Hey guys,

So this is basically an arena game, but no dice rolls. This game is for the writers. Each fight is presided over by me the GM and this is how it works:

Player1: Attacks
Player2: Defends

Clearly they'll be written a bit more indepth than that and then the GM will post to decide what happened based on the quality of the writing. This does not mean who ever writes the biggest essay is going to win, it just means whoever can write it in a way that I can really picture it, chances are their attack will go through.

Rules:

The Store:

Weapons:

Recruit level:
Stub Pistol
Cudgel
Iron Blade
Axe
Barbed Chain

Armour:

Recruit Level:
Combat Fatigues,
Leather,
Light chain,
Shield.
For prices see Skippy.

Points:
Ungkard: 2

Flavius: 2

Lithe: 2

Hyrulen: 2

Prestige:
(This decides the kind of fights you can participate in be sure to build this up to earn more money)
Ungkard: 3

Flavius: 1

Lithe: 1

Hyrulen: 1


Cheers,
CaptainJSparrow

I`ll give it a try. Sounds like a good way to hone my writing skills.

I am with Killskin, I could use the practice. Not to mention it will give me a chance to plant a choppa into something.

Excellent it's a pretty free format so create a character using this template:

Name:
Race:
Equipment:
Description:


Please don't go to overboard with your equipment, it's fine to be well-equipped but don't think you can run in dual-wielding Nemesis Force Weapons with daemons trapped inside.

Are there any restrictions as to what kind of character we can choose? I don't think we can run around as a bloodthirster or avatar of khaine, can we?

Just keep it simple, we don't want to see Mega armoured Warbosses or Chapter Masters. As well as the equipment being basic, as new entrants to the Coliseum you'll go in wearing thick leggings (Think a jeans type of material) and a basic hack and slash weapon. You'll have to earn better gear around the circuit.

Excellent, now with the armour and dress a couple of you have said it's okay, but you won't have it straight away okay? I'm not trying to be cruel or anything but you'll be coming in as rookie fighters so basically you won't get personalised gear just yet. Weapons are all perfect, so I'll get the game thread up pronto.

i'm ready to start whenever, just say the word. also, do the wych cults still exist in the 51 millennium? or am I over thinking this?

I personally assume they would in one form or another. In a universe like this even though there's a general peace I'd say that there is still death on a genocidal scale happening.

I get a feeling with our enslaved status 'thrown in' might be literal :p and fair enough, subscribed to both so will keep an eye out
