Does anyone know the rules, or even some of the basics? I've heard of this and wanted to play with it. I think it would help immerse the players if they occasionally saw AR broadcasts of Urban Brawl, since it is so popular, and might use it to disrupt missions at times.

The only information I could find was that a bare minimum of the rules were revealed in an adventure book. How have you dealt with Urban Brawl?

There's rules for a Brawl?

Posted by: SkepticInc Jul 17 2010, 03:06 PM

I figured it was like Calvin Ball + Blood Bowl + Running Man. I'll go read the thread now.

Apparently the full rules are in Shadowbeat, which I thankfully have tucked away.

They are actually more complex than you would imagine, with very specifi rules for team roles and respective weapon loadouts.

Frankly, I prefer Combat Biker. Seems like it would be more fun.

I saw the rules for that game too. It looked awesome. I found the maze bit particularly interesting.

I was more about the shotguns + motorcycles. Now THERE is a dangerous combination.

Shadowbeat and A Killing Glare (2nd Ed adventure). It's probably also going to be in the 4e media book because I can't see them leaving it out without virtual rioting.

I'd love to see what the updated version will be.

Probably exactly the same as the old ones. This is a sport, not some sort of mechanic within the game. Only changes might be "The Urban Brawl league decided in 2066 to institute a rule banning certain genetech" or something like that.

That's more what I meant. For instance, would magic be accepted for healing in game now? It would change up the game a bit.

Posted by: CanRay Jul 19 2010, 12:10 AM

Or perhaps a whole new league for Magic, with new rules as well.

I mean, they have Troll and Dwarf Baseball Leagues after all, due to the differences in strike zones. Orks and Elves are OK in regular baseball, however.

Yes, exactly. That would be pretty interesting.
