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 IdiotsBrave 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!
