Hi I'm new to Filsinger Games. I bought the 2087 starter set about 4 months ago and got hooked immediately. I then bought the New Begginings set for COTG ONLINE which is awesome as well. I'm in my late 20's and for whatever inexplicable reason, since I was a wee lad I have spent countless hours attempting to devise wrestling games of my own (with admittedly mixed results). The games systems I employed ranged from thrashing wrestling figures about in a ring until one fell out to deeply involved intricate games involving meticulously cutting out (literally) thousands of "moves" cards and writing rulebooks that I typed up (word count of around 8 thousand words - oh my god what a wasted youth!!!).
I have played every wrestling video game (TEW, Firepro and Booking Encore getting the thumbs up, just about every liscened game - excluding No Mercy - being a pile of sh*t) - but somehow could never get as involved as in a paper and dice game....I guess its the creative element and degree of customisation options thats the biggest selling point! Is that what hooked you guys too? COTG is awesome, largely because of the simple but exciting game system and comicbook universe - I'm a mark for comics too you see.
Anyway the aspect of my (flawed) attempts at self-made wrestling games that I concentrated most upon was Angles/Grudges and Interviews, I have lots of old ideas and pages of rules that I think would be good to convert to custom rules for backstage shennanigans in COTG. So Im off to rifle through my old rule books and see if I can find my old "interview" system that used to keep me amused for weeks on end in my younger days.
If anyone is interested I could post my findings on the resources section.
Anyway I think Ive rambled enough, I'm just glad to meet a lot of like-minded wrestling-card game fans and look forward to delving even deeper into this rich and interesting history.
Cheers
