IRC RPG/Battle Game

Rumpus is a new IRC RPG about a far-flung future where giant monsters and robots duke it out in cities and countrysides, tearing up the terrain while they try to discombobulate each other. They hurl missiles, they breathe fire, they bust up cities. If you love Godzilla, if you love Mecha, you'll love RUMPUS -- It's the monster-a-go-go

Game-Play: Game is divided into two sections,

Story: The players play their human goofs in the nominal story leading up to a big fight between monsters. Light and fun, the object of this segment of the game is to win additional experience-point bonuses for use in the RUMPUS, by being funny, dramatic or entertaining. Half the fun is trying to write (or unwrite) a story that justifies a fight between everybody on the board.
Action: The RUMPUS, or fight between giant monsters, is the real story of any RUMPUS game, and like any godzilla film, we only watch what the people are doing to get to the big fight scene afterwards. In this section, all rumblers try to pound the other rumblers into the ground. The one left standing is the winner.

RUMPUS! usually plays out one story per session.

Setting: The basic world of RUMPUS! is simple (since it's just something to knock down.) It revolves around the activities and people of the city of Unlukyo, an ill-fated city that seems to attract 40-storey extroverts. The time is 2234, the world rebuilt after a nuclear war -- gigantic mutants 40-storeys tall stomp the Earth and humankind lives in megacities, protected by tanks, planes and mecha.

How do I play RUMPUS? Unlike other online RPGs such as Eyes in the Dark, RUMPUS is not very involved, it's about combat, so you can join in a night, play, not play again for 3 months, and play again. All you need to play is a gigantic monster for a buddy, and an attitude. A dislike for large skyscrapers is a plus. Below is information for long-time RUMPUS players about character generation, you might want to gander at that, but your GM will happily create a monster and its weaponry for you if you can send a concept.

Where is RUMPUS? Rumpus is played out on #Sandnet, here is a page with some information and the servers it can be found on. To find out times, contact the player-whip, Durk Fenris (the solar terror from space), to be put on our mailing list.

To create your OWN character in RUMPUS is like playing Othello, a second to learn and a lifetime to master. RUMPUS uses the IDEAS© system, a point-based character generation system that allows you to design your own attacks, defenses and powers as customized as you want them to be. The only limitations are your imagination, your skill with the rules, and exactly how much silliness your ref will allow! Let's take at this step by step, getting more and more complex until your brain explodes..
