a tournament of Shadowrun. Most of it is pretty basic stuff -- this
many cards, reversed-polish type advancement, win after ten zillion
Reputation, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Then I started thinking: wouldn't it be nice if you could use previous
Rep in the game you're currently playing? So, I came up with the
following (still sketchy) rules:
Advancement: Players accumulate Reputation from game to game. The
total amount of Reputation they have at the end of the game is added or
subtracted from their "Good Reputation". The following modifiers also
apply:
Winning a game: +15 Good Reputation
Tieing a game: +5 Reputation
(No, I have no idea how you would tie a game, I just want to make sure
all the bases are covered).
In addition, Good Reputation may be spent *before a game begins* in the
following ways:
+1 Y to Crestick: 40 Good Reputation
+1 card in hand: 50 Good Reputation
Begin with card of choice: 100 Good Reputation
Remove a card from your deck: 15 Good Reputation
Return card to deck: 30 Good Reputation
Go first in game: X Good Reputation
Notes: Remove a card from the deck -- Players must still meet the
minimum deck limits (ie 60/6 cards). This is a possible way to enact
sideboards, however.
Go first in game: Each player may write down (secretly) the amount of
Good Reputation he is willing to spend to go first. The player who bid
the most goes first; the plaeyr(s) who bid the least divide the
Reputation among themselves.
This provides some interesting effects late in the tourney; Given that
the game is considered "won" at 100 Reputation, I don't think I'd see
anyone using the "begin with card of choice" option.
Additionally, I was going to create some rules for players to place
side-bets on other games, although that might speed the gameplay up
*too* much (and if there are ever $10,000 prizes in SRTCG, might lead to
collusion....)
Thoughts, comments, flames welcome.
