This system is currently going through a new update via Kickstarter, which I jumped on. Once they have finished with the book and I get a copy then I'll be ready to add my hat back into the ring for running a game. The setting just looked really awesome to me so I'm excited about this. I don't have a firm idea for the campaign, but will add more information once I'm able to look through the book. I just wanted to get it up on the list for the future.

ARE YOU READY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!?!?!?!?!
=== Mechanics ===
This game is another Apocalypse World game, just like Monsterhearts. It's the same basic system, but with a bent towards Pro Wrestling. The game encourages big, overblown antics. Each match involves two wrestlers, either with one or both being a player character. The matches are fast-paced to avoid excluding people, and during the matches other players act as announcers, giving ridiculous descriptions of the action and even putting the wrestlers over when they fuck something up to make the audience believe it was all part of the action.
=== The Setting ===
You'll all be middle card wrestlers in a regional wrestling chain in the 1980s, the era of hilarious, ridiculous gimmick wrestlers and steroid abuse.
=== The Story ===
As wrestlers in a regional wrestling organization in the Pacific Northwest, you'll tour around the west coast as you quest to rise through the ranks and grab the championship belt! Along the way you'll deal with politics, both kayfabe and backstage. You'll fight for position and camera time and the love of the audience. If you can get enough attention, you'll be rewarded with amazing opportunities.

Adventures in medieval Germany.
=== Mechanics ===
I'm building my own pen & paper system which converts the best aspects of a 1992 computer game into a tabletop game. The game system is quite a lot like Top Secret, in that most stuff is handled by d100s. I'm also making some physical tools to help with the gameplay since one of the coolest things about the game is that as you fight you get worn out and become fatigued, meaning that rope-a-dope is a viable strategy in this game. It's quite realistic, in that a guy who is barely hanging on to life will not fight as well as a well-rested warrior. The tools I'm building will allow you to slide and adjust based on your current stamina and strength so that it can do all the work on telling you what your weapon effectiveness will be like.
Another cool thing about the game is that you will be able to make a lot of decisions for your character based on their class, their upbringing, their education and training, and their career aspirations. You can be a lifelong soldier, a wandering monk, a scholar, a merchant, a woodsman, a vagabond, or maybe you've been several of those things throughout a long, eclectic life before joining a small group of adventurers for drinks at a Berlin tavern.
=== The Setting ===
This game is set in 15th century Germany, as perceived by the Germans of the 15th century. It's historical fantasy, where dragons - while rare - do lurk in the mountains. Where mines can be overrun by knockers and dwarves. Where wildmen, monsters, and witches hide in the woods.
Satanic cults, religious orders, traveling alchemists, and robber knights are just a few of the enemies - or allies - that you might meet.
=== The Story ===
A varied and diverse group of people meet in a tavern, itching to get outside the city walls and seek out adventure. There's always work for mercenaries and sell swords in the countryside. You make your decisions. Do you want to hang out in the city for a time, becoming a group of local heroes by cleaning up the streets as vigilantes? Or do you want to set out of the city to search for fortunes in the woods outside? Do you want to ask for work from the Medici family's banking empire? Or perhaps the church might have need of your services?
Your only mission at the start is to make a profit and become famous. Each character will be tasked with coming up with their own goals and desires, which may just conflict with others in the party. Over time, you just might find that there is something more sinister going on in Germany, of course...
Like Nazis. Fucking Germans.
