Fantasy Fantasy Robot Combat idea thing

Post by Badnik96 » Tue May 20, 2014 8:46 pm

So here's a neat idea I've been toying with for a few months now...

Basically, it goes like this:
I have a literal ton of robot designs in my head, and I battle them against each other every so often. What I've decided to do is run a double elimination bracket using those robots, but here's where the second "fantasy" comes in the title: You guys can draft pick the robots you think will win. So kinda like a fantasy sports league. I'll be writing but not competing, so there's no bias, and there will be no RPing. I'm going to do all the matches myself as fairly as possible. I'll have another thread for all the competitors and their pros and cons (as well as a small back story on each one), which will be updated periodically as I draw up all the competitors in Paint (there's almost 90 of them so it might take a while :v: ).

So yeah, discuss away. Who'd be up for this?

Teaser brackets (Will probably get reshuffled)

Bringing this back because playzooki wondered what happened to it. Since there's CBBR and Robot Bastards still to go before LoRE, I thought I'd get this started.

I do like the backstory stuff that you're giving some of them. =) Gives us more of a reason to care.
