Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Once upon a time, a Sega Genesis console game with a great theme and horrible execution, Beast Wrestler.\
Arena combat.  Loser and victor get dumped in a blending vat after the combat, and out emerges a hybrid.
\
I wish there were a game:
Both arena and open world combat. Players are owners/managers/pilots/psychic masters.  Combatants are one of three:  Kaiju giant monsters similar to godzilla, king kong, etc, controlled psionically;  Giant Mecha Robots with pilots inside;   Cyborgs, a blend of both.  Victor in combat gets to salvage / harvest the DNA and parts and limbs and stuff of the vanquished.

You could build that in Savage Worlds.

Otherwise I'd start jotting down notes and find a system that scales really well to that powerlevel.

MSH (Marvel Super Heroes)
DC Heroes (Mayfair rules)

Any of those could easily handle exactly what you're looking for. But you're gonna have to get down and dirty and start building.

I had a lot of fun playing Monster Island: The Game of Giant Monster Combat.

It's based on the Hero System, but it is relatively streamlined. I thought the combat worked fairly well, and you could make a wrapper story or system for the owners around that.

When I first looked at that piece, I thought it said, "Monster Bland" and that actually made me more interested in it.

Oddly enough Cute Fuzzy *cockfighting* Seizure Monsters for BESM could to that sort of play. Possibly also the original Monsterpocalypse board game. Though thats now OOP. Another odd one that could do it is one of the expansions for TOON! covered giant monsters and monster wrasslin.

I was thinking about BESM and Cockfighting Seizure Monsters myself! BESM and Rifts in a blender needs to be a thing... /cue tenbones coming in saying "Savage Worlds can do that!"  8)

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.
