[*]PC and NPC bookers make up the “NWA” ruling committee.[/list] [b]In Character Info[/b]; [hr] The year is 1990 and in the world of pro-wrestling the NWA still continues to rule the territories. With no WWF monopoly, the territory system is still intact with both regional and national televised events controlled by the NWA’s ruling board. While each promotion is given a seat at the table, only the truly influential and powerful members get a say in booking the champ. Every promotion vies for a chance to put that championship belt, the fabled “Ten Pounds of Gold” on their best wrestler’s waist, but only those who know how to play the game can actually see it through. To the marks, the competition is in the ring, but in reality the competitions are in the lockers, in the rental cars on the way to the next house show, in the smoked filled back rooms where champions are made, and championships are won and lost. [h3]Out of Character Info:[/h3] [hr] The game will work essentially as a combo of written prose and a little bit of tabletop dice rolls in the form of orders. [b]Orders[/b] The procedures for this game will be fairly simple. You send orders to me.. The orders will then be rolled and presented by me (or another GM) in an update. Each round of orders will be the span of one year. Orders work as thus: each promotion is given one large focus order and three normal orders. The large focus order will always succeed to a degree, but it can only be used internally (having your promotion gain a new TV program is okay, having your promotion take over another territory is not) and the three normal orders can be used for things like pushes for your top stars into the NWA title scenes, gimmick changes, or even poaching talent from another territory.

APW was founded thirty years ago by former pro wrestler Big Donnie Brisco. APW originally started in a high school gym in Roanoke and has expanded slowly ever since. APW joined the NWA in the late 60’s and firmly made Appalachia it’s territory. In early 1979, Big Donnie took over the territory of the failing Smoky Mountain Wrestling and expanded APW into Tennessee and Kentucky. With a myriad of health problems and a lifetime of traveling under his belt, Big Donnie retired in 1987 and handed the business over to Dusty. Although raised in the industry, he struggles to fill his father’s shoes as both booker and promoter. With his father’s guidance behind the scenes, Dusty APW continues it’s steady march as one of the core members of the NWA. While Big Donnie sat on the board’s championship booking committee, Dusty has neither the clout of connections just yet to make it there.
