Full Version: What's Urban Brawl like?

I am picturing Urban brawl as 2 teams of guys in pads with simple melee weapons crawling through old burnt out sections of cities; trying to get the ball to the other team's goalpost.

I am probobly completely wrong.

"Killerbowl" with firearms and a bit "Rollerball" as spicing.

I keep to the 1960s originals and chant:

Rollerball: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073631/ (Remake's not that bad)

The source material can be found in Shadowbeat.

Great sourcebook, probably one of the most interesting fluff-books that also provide for making rockstars and sports "storylines".

But discards the original's message (criticism of "bread & circuses" in a corp-dictatorship) in favor of eye-candy stunts.

The message is still there. You just have to listen, the last few minutes still have it.

But otherwise I agree. Luckily they didn't re-make "Soylent Green". Nothing could beat Heston/Robinson

Btw: "Logans Run" can serve as a nice "Arcology" inspiration.

I think the adventure Killing Glare also has alot of info about Urban Brawl, mainly since that is what the adventure is about ...
