X-Crawl Core Rulebook (d20)
 |
Fabulous prizes! Cars¸ wealth¸ and a year's supply of furniture wax! All of these - and much¸ much more - can be yours... if you survive. Of course¸ you are going to have to kill the monsters to get the treasure¸ and you aren't the crowd favorite today¸ and the cameras are very unforgiving. But there are no second takes¸ and if you die... YOU DIE!
"In Xcrawl¸ the players are superstar athletes taking their chances in a live-on-pay-per-view death sport. It's a modern-day world with a fantasy twist¸ and the game is simple: the Dungeon Judge¸ or DJ¸ creates an artificial dungeon under controlled - but lethal - conditions. He designs the maze¸ and stocks it with monsters¸ secret doors¸ magical traps¸ treasure and prizes. The players must go through the dungeon and fulfill whatever conditions the DJ puts forth in order to win.
"Xcrawl is a sport and the challenges are created¸ but the danger is no less real. If you die¸ you die. There are no second chances. Citizens of the North American Empire tune in every week to watch their favorite celebrities get eaten¸ paralyzed¸ turned to stone¸ and ripped apart. The nation's hunger for blood and mayhem grows with every contest. How will you fare?
