Introduction

(Dyslexia-friendly version)

ULTIMATE MONSTER BATTLE ARENA is the OURPGSoc Society Game for Michaelmas 2018 to Hilary 2019 running fortnightly. The game revolves around the WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON of GIANT MONSTER ARENA BATTLES against a rusting post-apocalyptic backdrop.

Players will all be involved SOME WAY OR ANOTHER with the BATTLE ARENA with such potential characters as:

  • MONSTER TRAINERS
  • AVID BATTLE ARENA ENTHUSIASTS
  • ENTIRELY LEGITIMATE BOOKIES
  • MYSTERIOUS NETWORK EXECUTIVES
  • Or even FOOLHARDY IDIOTS BRAVE GLADIATORS WHO FIGHT THE MONSTERS THEMSELVES.

Inspiration is being drawn from a vast number of sources, including but certainly not limited to:

  • GIANT MONSTER MEDIA such as GODZILLA, KING KONG, MEGA SHARK VS GIANT OCTOPUS, MONSTERS VS ALIENS, PACIFIC RIM, C'THULHU
  • POST APOC / DYSTOPIAN MEDIA such as HORIZON ZERO DAWN, MAD MAX, ROMANTICALLY APOCALYPTIC, FALLOUT
  • ARENA FIGHTING MEDIA such as GLADIATOR, POKÉMON, FIGHT CLUB, ROBOT WARS, EVEN “REAL” WRESTLING
  • AND SO MUCH MORE
