Author: Cake Flirt (Joseph Le May)

So I ran a G+ session of XCrawl, the retro-futuristic bloodsport, by way of DW. We had an Ogre Gladiator (Grug), a Human Paladin (Titanus), and a Human Thief (Larc). All in all, it went pretty well! I’m still not where I’d like to be with snappy responses and especially 7-9 rulings, but I’m getting there.

Clips from the highlight reel:

Trying to get across a mud pit, Titanus falls flat on his face, and Larc uses him as a stepping stone, leaping across with graceful ease…

Titanus and Grug argue over who gets to climb into the room full of armed orcs first, and both end up stuck halfway through the hatch. The orcs chuckle and approach, slapping their baseball bats into their hands menacingly…

While Grug and Titanus fight off the orcs, Larc moves like a lightning-quick shadow, freeing the prisoners from their cells lining the room…

Titanus lights himself on fire and leaps into the pit, only to discover that those creatures down there are rust monsters!…

Grug’s mighty executioner’s axe rusts away before him, and with murder in his eyes, he tears out the creature’s antenna. Meanwhile, Titanus draws his enchanted blade from its velcro sports sheath…

Larc sprints into action, dashing across the sand towards that glinting object, when an invisible force lifts him off the ground with crushing force, and a puncture wound appears in his gut…

A siren blaring in the background, Grug’s hammer connects with the chin of one of the many goblins, launching it into the ceiling, where its skull shatters, and blood and brains rain down upon the melee…

Titanus shoves his swords into the eyes of one goblin, while another across the room buckles and falls to its knees, Larc drawing his dagger from its spine…
