Roll to Ebay (6/6)
« on: July 12, 2016, 11:19:29 am »

Champions! Welcome to the great arena providing entertainment to numberless universes... the Macrocolliseum!


Six warriors, selected from the many worlds of mankind, chosen to fight and die gloriously for the amusement of trillions!

With a mighty weapon, a noble beast and a cunning trap, you must do battle and perish until only one is left alive, for the diversion and edification of our countless viewers!



But this will be no ordinary battle, fought with no ordinary weapons. Instead, you must cunningly choose the components of your arms, steed and device, using the princely sum of one thousand US dollars, from that quaint and curious online marketplace that the backwards and primitive humans tof that world call, "ebay". Once five of these elements have been purchased, they will be fused into a unique and magnificent object or creature!

So champions, introduce yourselves to the audience, and list your first five items now, which will be assembled into strange and puissant weapons! You may only spend five hundred dollars each round, though, so choose your items wisely...

Something worth mentioning: some of the weapons people are 'buying' are what are called 'wallhangers'. They're ornamental, and too fragile for actual combat. The price tags serve as hints: a hand-crafted combat-ready sword, for example, usually doesn't cost anything less than a couple hundred dollars.

More fool them: the combat system is fairly abstract, and a rare orchid to the face might hit as hard as a pound of lead.

I can't find things at Ebay, so just PTW.
