Our Vision: To provide a setting where everyone can bring their creations to life in an enjoyable, exciting and engaging manner: a place where each member is equally valued and where effort is rewarded.
Our goal is to provide you with fun.
Summary
Ultimate Progressive Wrestling aka UP Wrestling is based in Las Vegas. Our characters are all created and can be male or female. They are treated as equals. There is no male or female divisions. Our system is a hybrid one. We take competitive, written role-plays (RP) and mix that with RPG elements like XP and dice rolls. Shows are bi-weekly. You must RP at least once every two weeks. You may submit more than the requirement and there is no word limit.
Our "doors" opened on January 1, 2020. Experience levels span from 20+ years to those who played the game for the first time when we were established. Our group of players come from different breathes of life and all over the world. We're a very diverse group. Some have played this game in other communities and others have found us in Facebook, Discord, Reddit, and Twitter. Regardless of where you come from or how long you've been around, we treat everyone equally. Friendships are forged here. There is an open environment. This along with the nuisances of our game can hopefully give you a fresh start if you're seeking it.
We love telling stories here and while we're not an angle fed, we do rely heavily on our members to provide ideas. It's the booker's decision that determines what happens at each event, but things mentioned in RPs, emails, and messages all are taken into consideration before the final product each show is released.
Championships
UP Wrestling currently has three titles: World Heavyweight, Sin City, and Tag Team.
Character Profiles
Every wrestler has one of these. Hosted on a Google Sheet, you will see information centered around their bio, traits, entrance, signature moves, description, and how they handle themself in the ring.
Your character will start at Level 1 and you can gain Experience Points (XP) via RPs, matches, and additional bonuses. As your character levels up, they earn more signature moves, increases in Attributes, new Traits, and more Rolls.
Every wrestler has Attributes such as Strength and Dexterity. As they rank up, you will have a higher modifier.
Another key element is what your Wrestler Type is. You can pick from Gladiator, Daredevil, and more. You even have the option to Multi-Class.
Lastly, your character(s) can earn Traits. As they progress through the game, these difference makers allow you to earn higher scores in Attributes, penalties for your opponent, and much more.
Matches
Again, shows are every two weeks. For all your skill, strength and determination, sometimes things just do not go your way! Here at UP Wrestling, your success or otherwise will be influenced by luck - as are so many things in life. Here is an example of how match decisions are decided:
It is Lady Luck versus What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas!
Lady Luck’s Attributes are ST:14 (+2). DX:14(+2). CN:14(+2). I:10. W:13(+1).
What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas’ Attributes are ST:12 (+1). DX:16(+3). CN:16(+3). I:10. W:13(+1).
Lady Luck is a Novice 1.
What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas is a Veteran 1 and as you can see has 2 more Attribute points than his opponent.
Lady Luck did 2 promo/interviews over the past 2 weeks
What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas did 0 promo/interviews during the same period of time.
Lady Luck has an Attribute bonus of +7.
What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas has an Attribute bonus of +8.
The booker has decided to give Lady Luck a +2 bonus for promos/interviews.
Because What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas did not do any promos/interviews, the booker has given him a -10. Note: The modifier can be different on a case by case basis.
Lady Luck has a total bonus of +9.
What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas has a total bonus of -2.
Lady Luck is a Novice 1 and receives 1 roll from the 20-sided dice that results in a 12.
What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas is a Veteran 1 and receives 3 rolls from the 20-sided dice. The rolls are 7, 19, and 14. The best roll is 19. That is selected and the other two discarded.
Lady Luck’s Fame roll was a 17. What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas receives a roll of 15. The crowd will be behind Lady Luck and she receives a +1.
Who won the match? If you picked Lady Luck, you are right! Her roll of 12 + 9 + 1 = 22. What Happens In Vegas Stays in Vegas had a roll of 19 - 2 = 17. Again, if you aren’t quite getting it please email Matt and Nick to discuss.
Note: The booker's decision is final and there may be times when he needs to make a call independent of the dice.
