Urban Brawl is fully described in Shadowbeat (sourcebook) and "A
Killing Glare" (adventure module). Both ar out of print but can be had
from various used book stores and online auctions.

You're mixing Urban Brawl with Combat Biker. Two very different
games. Again, the rules and full description of Combat Biker appear in
Shadowbeat. If you'd like I can give you a brief synopsis of both games
(although it'll have to wait until I get home).

Thanks, Marc. I couldn't remember the details on this, either. [And my
Shadowbeat is still on loan. And my Killing Glare...wait, I don't own
Killing Glare. Thank Whoever. :) ]

We used to do a lot of Combat Biker stuff, back when we roleplayed just to
beat stuff up. :) My GM even made up a bunch of weapons for it, from pikes
to chainsaw/polearms. Maybe I'll post them here, if there's interest, or
everyone can just see them when The Big Gun Book debuts on the net.

There's a novel which centers around Combat Biker. It's called Dead Air, and
it illustrates what it's like to actually play the game. No rules in the
novel though. The novel is out of print, but I believe it can be purchase
from FASA directly.

Check out my web page http://www.koke.org/jak/ for a sample.

Please. That would be very helpful, seeing as knowing some more of the game
background would be helpful in fleshing out my character (I've only started
playing recently.

(and well roleplayed Troll), to pull the pin and throw it.

I just finished this novel and I loved it! I could not wait to sit down
and continue reading it because there was always something exciting taking
place. I recommend this novel to anyone that wants a good book to read
especially if you want to learn a little more about Combat Biker.

Great work Jak! Looking forward to more good reading from you!
