I'm planning on running an urban dungeon crawl sometime soon, but I'd like to test out the combat system first. If you're unfamiliar with urban dungeon crawls here's how I'd describe them: Imagine a group of adventurers going from room to room in a dungeon, but the adventurers are armed with modern/improvised weapons, the rooms are full of 20th/21st century decor, and there's copious amounts of violence and flashing lights. To see an example of this, check out the aptly named BLOOD AND NEON, or play some Hotline Miami.

As for this game in particular, it'll be more competitive than cooperative, and - although they'll be on the same map - players won't be interacting with each other directly. If you're interested in giving the combat test a shot, then read the rules right here. Since this is just a combat test, the rules about dying/looting don't apply.

Once you sign up, I'll give you some random weapons. We'll be able to start things proper once I get 3 or so players.

In, I really enjoyed Dubs' testgame, and it's always fun to test new systems.

I've changed you ranged weapons work. Since I decided to forgo a grid system, thrown weapons now have a -2 base to their roll, which can scale up to -5 due to cover.

Anyway, the maps are ready. I just need each of you to choose what you'll equip before entering.

[Egan_BW]

No preview of what we'll be fighting? Aww.

Bat.

Sorry, I think 4 people is my limit.

[Naturegirl1999]

Ok, will the combat be here too? I can still watch, maybe I can join when someone dies?

[Tomasque]

The combat will happen here, but people won't get switched out when they die.
