Welcome to Ork Fight!

Welcome to the Sign Up post for Ork Fight!

I thought we'd break up the longer game format with something simple, quick and fun.


Premise of Ork Fight!


The Warboss on the Ork Hulk needs a new Nob, and so he's got a competition set up to help decide... throw all the big orks into a pit and the one that comes out with the Steem gets promoted.

So go in, grab the Steem and get out. The player who gets to a zone with the Steem wins a big prize!

No problems. Just type a comment and call @rollthedice to set your starting zone.


Rules of Ork Fight!


Players will be represented by their player piece.
Non player pieces (NPCs) will be the icons that aren't the Steem icon
Only one player or NPC per square.
Players and NPCs :

  • are exactly the same, except Players will have 3 wounds and NPCs will have one wound.
  • can move 5 squares in any direction, but not diagonally.
  • can shoot 6 squares, but only in a straight line. No diagonal shooting is allowed.
  • will wound their target on a role of 5+ on @rollthedice.
  • may charge into melee, which uses @attackdice. The dice automatically adds +1 to the aggressor. Whoever rolls highest wins... the loser receives a wound.
  • do not have to engage in melee, even if they are adjacent to a player or NPC.
  • can charge and land in any adjacent square to engage in melee, even diagonal squares.
  • should roll again if @attackdice produces a draw.
  • will be randomly assigned a starting zone if they die. The GM will @rollthedice.
  • will pick up the Steem by landing or passing through its square.
  • will take the Steem with them once they've picked it up.
  • will drop the Steem in their square if they are killed.
  • can run away from melee if they choose.

Each turn a new NPC or player will be introduced into a random zone.
Charging does not provide any additional movement distance.
Players can shoot and attack each other.
Exit through any zone with the STEEM to win!


Prizes!


Kills will be tracked, but there is only one prize. 3 STEEM for the player who gets into a zone with the STEEM.


Protocol


Players can move 5 squares each turn, and shoot (or melee) at the end of their movement. If you move less than 5 squares to attack then your movement phase is completed... you don't get to use your remaining squares.

Players will detail in the comments where they want to move to, and who they want to attack, if anyone. A player can comment that they want to move North, South, East or West (or any combination thereof) or do the square number, ie, F14.

Please comment with your interest and any questions below...

Sort:  

I'm game, of course! New rules will take some getting used to but they appear more simplistic so it should work out!

So once a player has the STEEM, where do we 'get out'? Is there an exit, or just return to our spawn point?
Also with guns only being able to fire in precise straight lines, won't this make them really clumsy in order to make work, especially with a low range?

Yeah, wanted to make the rules as simple as I could to break up the other games a bit...

The player with the STEEM can get out through any zone... just get past the zone gates and you're the winner!

Of course, they'll be harder to shoot with, but I think it will work out okay, you'll just have to move to the right spot to shoot.

I'm in !

I need that jov. Always wanted to be a space Ork 😍

Of course I'm in.
So, just to be clear:

  • We start and end from within one of the 6 boxes around the periphery of the game board?
  • Can we choose the start zone for first launch?
  • What happens when a player dies? Is there any penalty besides going back to a random start zone?
  • Why are the start zones so large?
  • Can we begin right at the gate of the zone?

Yessss!

1.) Yes... you'll be randomly assigned a zone to start... to end you can get inside any zone. You need to get past the gate to win.
2.) No, sorry, the Games Master will randomly place one player per zone to start.
3.) No penalty at all... the GM will rollthedice to see which zone you start in.
4.) Mainly because I wanted an obvious threshold to cross into the zone, but also in case 50 people suddenly decide to join in this game, I'll have somewhere to put everyone.
5.) No, I'll place everyone directly in the center of their zone, and then any additional others will go to the sides, etc...

Thanks for the clarifications. Looking forward to this new game!

Me! Grrrr! I'm ready Boss.

Space left for a late entry?

You launch yourself at your worthy foe.

You throw a 5.

Your opponent rolls a 4.

The foe dies!!!

  • Once in melee, can we run away?
  • Can we share a space?

Yes... the rules are super simple in this game... so you can totally run away from melee... but you can't share a space. I'll amend the rules.

I'm in !

I need that job. Always wanted to be a space Ork 😍

I'm confident you can be the biggest and meanest Space Ork!

Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.

You rolled a 1.

Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.

You rolled a 6.
