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.

Quote from: Ian Warner;459457Sports systems for existing games are dime a dozen but actually making a game focused entirely on Sport takes guts.

The operative word is insanity, not guts, Ian!

Quote from: flyingmice;459793I have a half-formed thing in my mind, where I could twist it for Hockey, but it would take a lot of work. Boxing would be very cool! I love boxing. It's just hard to make it a team game.

With boxing the team would probably need to include the group behind the boxer (trainers, managers, sparring partners, etc).

Problem is if I write this football/soccer one I won't be able to resist making drug abuse, stupid wages and marrying airheads, cheating on them with prostitutes then divorcing them part of the mechanics.

Those things are all in Tools of Ignorance - mostly in the cards - so why the hell not?

Yep! It could be done, but the players would have to agree to split it all up this way. One of them will be rich and famous - the manager - one will be famous - the boxer - and the rest will be lost in the shuffle. Might be very interesting with an internal betrayal/conflict thing going though! :D

I have no first hand knowledge of the Buffy the vampire slayer rpg so I'm probably talking out of my ass here but the imbalance between PCs might have commonalties.

The game could actually run anything past the dead ball era. You just have to change the social situations in the cards - especially the doping. The dead ball era was fundamentally different from the post dead ball era, and it wouldn't play true.

I'd do one but I'd probably make it all about throwing the match and not getting caught.

That would be cool! One game would be a whole campaign... :D

Yeah - this engine could do cricket too. Forgot about that! it would have to be done by someone who understands the game better than I though! :D
