Shockboxing : rules and background

Krapou · Last edited by Krapou on Mon Oct 17, 2005 11:48 am; edited 2 times in total

I'm curious about shockboxing in Star Wars...

I found an old link describing it (http://starwars-rpg.net/journal/v2i3/shockbox.php) but it doesn't works any longer...
note : it was the Star Wars Online Journal (vol 2 issue 3), but the website is down...

Does anybody has info about this 'sport' ?

edit : the only official info I have for now is p39 of Wretched Hives of Scum and Villainy, concerning Tull Raine, a famous barabel shockboxer

I just found D20 info (background and rules) on shockboxing : http://www.garyastleford.com/hb_gitrd20.html

I'm still looking for D6 stuff Smile

Perhaps one of us should do a D6 conversion from the D20 stuff?
Me, I'm just lazy Razz

Well, everything (D20 and D6) is listed in the Star Wars Online Journal, Vol 2 Issue 3 Wink

There's an online journal? Shocked

Wow, I feel very foolish, I really have been out of RP for too long.

*scurries off to find links to said journal*

I am curious about two things, I don´t quite get.

The rules (in online journal 3) says that a shockboxing bout lasts 6 rounds, but if a K.O. has not occured then you add rounds untill the 10th where the bout is called a draw.

That sounds like a wierd way of saying that a bout lasts 10 rounds, right?

The rules state that no strikes are allowed below the waist, but are you only allowed to punch?

10 bout round could equal 30 min to hour on one character.... I think 6 would be better myself.

When roleplaying 6 rounds would be best.
I am thinking about 5 combat rounds per boxing round.
That is a total of 30 combat rounds if the bout goes all the way.

Sounds like a plan...

Though i would go with 10 combat rounds to a bout round, with 5 bout rounds normally, and 7 max...
