Looking to see who would be interested in doing a wrestling themed arena fight. So no weapons that wouldn’t fit the setting, General wrestling rules and a not overly serious atmosphere.

If you’re open to it we could use the RPGuild dice system to determine when moves are or are not effective.

Here’s the character I have prepared :
(Character Sheet format from Doc Doctor)

Nah, nevermind
Im still working at it, just taking awhile to figure out what augments the guy would have. Trying to figure out reasonable stuff that would help him do his job.
Jagged ice shards had rained down upon the party and though Shel was entirely untouched by the Kislevite's spell he moved quickly to get himself into more effective cover. On his tiny little legs Shel dashed through the trees and brush. To flank the Ice Wizard of course, it was a very tactical decision. Move about unseen, circle around the these would be bandits, figure out what to do if he actually manages to sneak up on them when he actually manages to sneak up on them.

Shel felt more at home in such a situation anyway. Open fields were not the Halflings friend in combat, better to have things to hide behind or to climb. It was quieter in the thicket, but as Shel didn't wear heavy armor and didn't weigh much of anything himself he was able to move quite quickly while making near to no sound at all. It was how he had survived so long, it was how he acquired the nickname "Surefoot." Yes, he felt quite safe for the moment, in his element, untouchab-

Shel's awareness hadn't extended to the short bow across his back. It had caught on a low hanging branch, not quite knocking him off his feet but causing him to slip and kick up a gathering of leaves on the forest floor. Though he quickly regained his balance the sound of a snapping twig nearby indicated he had likely been noticed.

A gruff voice called out from the quiet, "Alright, hold it there or I'll gut you!" and Shel turned to see a particularly unwelcome sight, a momentarily airborne Dawi. Not just some every day Dawi either, this particular Dawi was clad in steel armor and holding a shield and axe at the ready. None of his equipment appeared to be new, and the Dawi himself didn't appear to be new either. Grey hair, scarred leathery skin, this was an experienced Dawi. Not good indicators for the Halfling's chances of survival.

"Gahhh," the Halfing retorted, quickly retreating several steps and drawing his dirk. Holding it as a man would a shortsword he gathered his thoughts, "Hold it right there or I'll I'll I'll gut you."

Shel didn't like his chances, and so he endeavored to improve them. Taking slight steps back and trying to circle around the Dawi Shel was really just stalling for time, hoping for some opportunity to open itself up. It was exactly the right plan. As fate would have it walking backward while also trying to circle an armed and angry thoroughly terrifying Dawi is a great way to create an opportunity, for the Dawi.

Keeping his eyes locked on the dangerous Dawi in what he imagined to be a quite intimidating death glare Shel stepped on some particularly wet leaves and soon found himself on his back and disarmed. Though he quickly got his barings back he found himself to be in a very sticky situation. His dirk had bounced off to the side near the trunk of a thick grey tree, but the blade was now between him and the Dawi who seemed to have mastered the intimidating death glare.

"You, uh," he stammered as he backed away on hands and knees from the armed and armored Dawi, "You're awfully quiet for a Dawi."
I’m going to try to join up as as a sort of auditor doing something like internal affairs, investigating the disappearance, if that’s alright. I’m thinking sort of the flip side of what most folk are likely going for. Someone thoroughly stuck in the rat race. It will take me a while to get a CS together though. Works been busy lately.

Aldo Hammat. Non combat augments to allow him to do his desk job better. A cog in a machine that’s slowly getting ground down
I love you
That Albert Einstein sticking out his tongue thing?

But make it totally rad bro
Why not set it in an alternate version of straight Warhammer Fantasy? It would take a little more work, but you could put together a similar setting by tweaking the world a little bit. Perhaps a great drought has hit the world. You could set it in the Badlands as well as a devastated Bretonnia and an Empire that is clinging to life.

Would make it harder to justify the different races all getting along and intermingling, but perhaps desperate times call for desperate measures? With Bretonnia and the Empire in a bad way you get a good sized lawless area. The different races of Warhammer could then fill in for the different sort of pulp action from a Western, without the problems that arise from having Orcs filling the role of African Americans. As much as that could be done well and be quite interesting it definitely creates some problems.

Ex:
It is 40 years since a pall fell upon the lands. It was Famine that brought the empires of Man to their knees, though they were not the only ones affected. The world grew warmer, the grass died, the lakes dried up, and darkness encroached. The great nations drew their borders back as travel become neigh impossible. Yet now, finally, things are blooming once more. The world is easing up and a new age of expansion is about to begin. All of the once great nations have suffered terribly in the past 40 years. Now that things are getting better it is only a matter of time before the remaining nations seek to reclaim what they have had to abandon. An era of Imperialism is about to begin, and as these lands will need to be resettled and claimed it's all going to happen at a backbreaking pace.

Most of the other stuff would be pretty similar. The Empire and Bretonnia fill in similar roles to North/South, they're both sort of at war with each other now to avoid starvation and to claim as much of the land as possible. Dwarves and High Elves could fill roles similar to say France and England.

Whether you take that approach or not you should rework it a bit. Mythical Cowboys definitely has a cool ring and you've got a number of folk interested. Cool ideas about Badges offering protection as well. Just creating a fictionalized setting dead similar to a Western but not set in a Fantasy Races version of the real world will help a lot.

You might also just ignore the Civil War aspect and have a Wild West/Manifest Destiny that's happening without a Civil War, or keep a Civil War but either get rid of slavery altogether or keep it as it was in history (meaning it was man's cruelty to man). Orcs could still be used as just sort of general baddies. Sort of like Space Pirate Orcs from WH 40K only they ride around on horses.
I hope it doesn't end up like that. I'm not too triggered by the standard issue pre-order incentives.
