this is one of the two new RPGs i'm launching simultaneously. after launching my poll to find which RPGs appealed to players Hragged commented that a Pit fighter RPG would suit ogres and a Mafia RPG would suit gnoblar so i have decided to launch both of those to see how much interest there is in them...
Ug's Pit Of Maw:
one day a Tyrant by the name of Ug Kinkiller invited his kin, even the distant relatives from other tribes (he was very hungry) to join a competition he was hosting, the idea was for a series of pit fights to take place. competetors would be split into four teams and would engage in battles with each other and any monsters that Ug's bulls could catch (eg yhetees, rinox & sabretusk packs) the winners of each fight would be given a piece of "Magic Meat" prepared by Ug's butchers. anyone who ate the MM would be revitalized and ready to fight again. any one who died he would eat.
magic meat - if your team wins you get a piece of this. it regenerates your health after each battle (basically the same as an extra life in a video game) each player starts with three. if you run out then you're out of the game. if your team wins but you run out of wounds first (are mortally wounded) then it counts as if you've eaten your piece of the meat. you start the next fight with the same number of meats as before but at full health.
monsters - in each fight there will be one or two monsters. the monsters used will be, Rinox, Sabretusk, Yhetee and Gorger. near the end i may include monsters from different areas of the world (brought home by Ug's Maneaters)
Teams - depending on the number of players i will have 2 - 4 teams, your team will work together to defeat the others and any monsters. if you successfully survive until all members of all other teams are dead (ran out of meat) your team will fight against Tyrant Ug.
Characters - will start out with the stats of an irongut, but you each get 5 Stat points to increase your character's stats. you are armed with only basic irongut equipment.
Turns -
monsters don't shoot or use magic.
if there are any more questions please do not hesitate to ask them.
