Bar Fight! Seems right.

[Legion]

Hi All,

I've decided to begin the new year with a space-poc bar fight.

Think off-duty soldiers, ships crew and wastelanders getting up to no good.

I'm looking at bolting a Rep system onto Rogue Stars, Kill Team and Mutants and Death Ray Guns.

Those games already have their own Victory Points mechanisms so I don't want to reinvent those.

I'm thinking of giving Rep for things like:

Does the fig have a drink in its hand?
Is the fig smoking?
Is the fig unarmoured?
etc.

Combat modifiers for drunkenness.

Also, no enclosed helmets allowed (unless it's an enviro suit for some kind of alien);
No long guns allowed;

Bonus points for KOing an opposing fig with your bare hands, then a scale of penalties(?) for knives, swords, power fists, pistols, ...

Auto-loss for whoever decides to be so lame as to use a grenade in a bar.

These guys get it:



Your thoughts, ideas? [Be advised I will unabashedly yoink any of your input that I like.]

Thanks and Happy New Year!

There should be at least one character whose mission is to keep drinking without spilling a drop and thus receive bonus points for avoiding being hit/damaged without actually joining in with the fight.

A movable objective that some or all are after. Skill roll to get it. Get hit when you have it and off it goes flying in a random direction. It could be fragile...or hazardous.  Think the bar fight at the beginning of Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom - all trying to get the antidote and diamond. Or a space pet with secret plans in it's collar - moves randomly.

Governor's daughter who is out partying. An undercover bodyguard she doesn't know about.
Waiting staff still trying to deliver drinks.

Balsa wood bar furniture! Both in-game and for scatter terrain!

Must include rules for throwing drinks.  Bonus points if some drinks are poisonous/acidic to some species.

Thanks Gents!

Some ideas I'd thought of, some I hadn't.

I'm going to put it together as a scenario. Easier and faster than knocking together a whole new game, what?

Should be tweakable game-to-game with little effort.

I came up with some terrain for Star Wars:

I also made an earlier sci fi bar too.

No rules yet though.

there was a fantasy version of this by gw about orks in a baroom brawl with a board and everything including rules for jumping off the bar and hitting people with bottles chairs etc
