"LOOK AT ME GO!" At this point lets just do a paced jog willy nilly

[Horizon]

Bulk gets up a bit groggily, yawning "Morning...Wait you put Bulk sleep," the muscular moron exclaims "Hmgh, give food please!" Bulk asks nicely for the food.

[King Zultan]

Get back up and go grab that bucket and hit the enemy with it!

[BlackPaladin99]

are there slots open for this?

[MeimieFan88]

Become momentarily distracted by the frolicking person. Regain focus on the battle! Try to kick the thug in front of me and knock them to the ground, to keep them from going for the knife.

Sure, describe your appearance. (humanoid, which can include anything similar such as elves, dwarves, hobbits, etc., but no natural weapons like tusks or scales)

Choose your starting position and first action, which can be anything you could reasonably do in this small brawl.

For those who are interested, the Latin term for “Gladiator Manager” is “Lanista”.

((Definitely using that, thanks.))

Continue to spectate.  Cheer for the old guy who went for the nuts!  The best slaves are the violent ones!  The crappy scared ones will probably just have to get recycled as food for the big ones.  Saves on the bills, dad always says!

HP {4}

A curious cat brushes up against the young lanista, she puts it in her lap and starts petting, but her shouting scares it away. Standing at this point, the 11 year old noble is cheering so loud spittle is building on her lower lip. "Yeah Old Man! Kick His Nuts!!" However some of the peasant children look bored, and start to disperse. The ones still there still chant "Knife! Knife! Knife!" A guard infront of the auction house notices all the children coming from the grate and heads inside in a hurry.

"Get in there Grindak!" The magnusite door opens and slams shut, and the new occupant quickly sides with the other long-time slaves, reinforcing from the rear. Bulk's stomach growls. Turning to the audience he says simply "Hmgh, give food please!" The filthy thug with ethereal blue eyes snatches up the crude knife at last. He slashes at the old man, but only cuts air. The mustached man picks up the nearby bucket and counters by slamming it at the thug's left arm. The man in black slams the twitchy gremlin-looking slave with a fist, knocking it out, then flicks his blond curls back in self-satisfaction. While the boy is momentarily distracted by the running slave, the hag gets a light scratch on the teenager's right arm, causing him to wince. She is about the go run behind the first thug, but the young man fallows up by tripping her onto her bottom. Grimnack pounces on the downed thug and attacks her face viciously! One of the children comes back with a juicy drumstick, and tosses it---Bulk catches it and chows down on real food! All the while pitter patter of feet as the running slave still runs about. "LOOK AT ME GO!"

The first thug goes to stab the old man in the eye! The second thug throws a punch at Bulk! The third thug tries to scratch who's ever closest!

One player is the gladiator manager, the rest are the gladiators. HUGE DISCLAIMER: I really have no belly for describing gore, so expect most of the bloody details to be glossed over. That being said, injuries will be tracked in a more specific manner than a health bar. Minor injuries cause pain, major injuries take multiple matches to heal, and some wounds can't heal or are fatal. That is why this is a team game. This is PVE, at least for now with some light story elements.

This game is based on a custom scenario I use to play in StarCraft 1, by the same name.

I plan to use two d6 dice for a bell curve.

02 = tragic	★	"Oh..no..."
03 = horrible	★★	"Oh no..."
04 = terrible	★★★	"Oh no!"
05 = bad	★★★★	"Oof!"
06 = poor	★★★★★	"Oops."
07 = mediocre	★★★★★★	"Fair."
08 = good	★★★★★	"Good."
09 = great	★★★★	"Good!"
10 = excellent	★★★	"Wow!"
11 = awesome	★★	"Woah!"
12 = godlike	★	"..."

Weapons and equipment your manager lends to you will modify these outcomes in certain situations.

A fair bit of this game will be improvised, but the main gameplay loop is simply to schedule fights, fight, and buy upgrades to take on bigger fights. If more than one person wants to play Gladiator Manager at the start, then whom ever can guess the number in my head (0 to 100) gets it.

Fantasy Setting. ~8 Players
Any recent gameplay changes will be listed here.
Beastiary, Common Items Stats, etc. here.

Hungrily chewing the meat off the drumstick Bulk is satisfied "Mmmm." the idiot pat his stomach, finishing soon enough to be able to see the punch coming Bulk angrily shoves the bone into the thugs mouth as hard as he can.
