Sunday Night Showdown
World Wide Wrestling 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
GOOD EVENING WRESTLING FANS THE WORLD OVER! ARE... YOU... READYYYYYYY? Tonight's program promises spectacular slams, amazing acrobatics, and HARDCORE MAYHEM! Including a very special main event, where reigning champion Charles "Wildman" Wylde defends his title against... YOU! Come join our promotion for this campaign of World Wide Wrestling, where the action isn't just in the ring, it's in the locker room and on the road! Will you be babyface or heel? Who will you have heat with? Will your promos draw money? And will you be able to keep up with other wrestling insider terminology? Don't worry about that last part, because World Wide Wrestling is designed for even newcomers to the sport! It's all done on a simple Powered By The Apocalypse system where you control the flow of the action until your opponent is able to sweep it away from you. Like any good wrestling match, it's less about who wins and loses, and more about the story you tell in the process. And there's behind-the-scenes action, too, as you can politic with Creative to get your way, deal with rabid fans, and gain the respect of the locker room regardless of your in-ring persona! Get your ring gear on, because your entrance music is on! See you in the ring!
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

How to prepare
Everyone will need a microphone and Discord, as that is the platform I'll be running the game on. I would prefer players be on camera for game, but it isn't necessary.
What I provide
While this is a game about performative combat sports, the combat will not be exceptionally tactical; it's all the name of telling a story. This will be taking place in a very real world, so the action should remain within the realm of possibility (this is WWE/AEW, not Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat). I will be utilizing music, especially because every wrestler needs an entrance theme! I'll be assembling everyone's themes into a Spotify playlist, and screen-sharing in order to share the music with the group.
Gameplay details
We will discuss lines and veils in session zero, there will be breaks as needed (the storytelling format allows for plenty of them between promos, segments, matches, and locker room scenes), and the X card is always available.

How will character creation work
Character creation will be part of session zero, since it's a very simple process, and we will need to establish everyone's connections to each other. I will have character sheets available for everyone, and there's really only the one book to reference, which I will provide a PDF of.
