Re: Stat Yourself
How's this sound:
Modern day underground bloodsports, in the vein of many 80s action films and most fighting games. The players compete, largely unarmed and unarmored, with the occaisonal "hardcore" match to keep things interesting. Arenas are abandoned warehouses, meat packing plants, construction sites, empty swimming pools, etc. Rewards are monetary though that's primarily an accounting of rank... the only weapons are those seeded in the arena, which will trend towards the improvised - wrenches, lead pipes, lengths of chain, baseball bats, the occasional knife, etc.
CP awards are fixed and the same for winners and losers; I want to avoid the power-creep that comes with long-running games, though of course more matches = more experience.
