HAND TO HAND WOMBAT!!
It’s come down to this. Your last stand.
Your enemy is at the gates and you and your fellow wombats are all out of ammo.
It’s time… for some Hand to Hand Wombat!
HOW TO PLAY
When you want to kick ass, take names, or break stuff, roll COMBAT.
For everything else, roll WOMBAT.
Whenever you act, roll a handful of d6 equal to your WOMBAT SCORE or your COMBAT SCORE.
For every 4 or above, you get to describe how the action goes well.
For every roll of 3 or below, the GM puts a complication in the way, based on the current situation, or introduces a new danger.
Alternate between you and the GM, narrating one result at a time, until you’ve added a piece of narrative for each dice rolled.
WOMBAT/COMBAT SCORE
Pick 4 attributes from the lists below. Each one is worth 2 points. Add their points together to make your WOMBAT/COMBAT SCORES. You must have at least one WOMBAT ATTRIBUTE and at least one COMBAT ATTRIBUTE.
If one or more of your attributes is involved in your action, count one roll of 3 or below as if you had rolled 4 or above.
WOMBAT ATTRIBUTES | COMBAT ATTRIBUTES |
CHONK | Down ’n’ Dirty |
SASS | Fluid & Graceful |
BRAINS | Swift & Deadly |
DIG | Wild & Untamed |
YOUR LAST STAND
As a group, decide on the location of your last stand. Each player gets to contribute one piece of barricade, equipment or supplies. Your GM will secretly roll 1d6 for each piece. If they roll a 1, that piece is broken or compromised in some way.
YOUR ENEMY
Roll a d6 to determine who has you pinned down. Your GM will play the enemy, while you and the other Wombats kick ass and take names.
D6 | YOUR ENEMY |
1 | Mecha Scott Morrison (the real one is on holiday) |
2 | The twisted, conjoined, mutant form of Clive Palmer & Gina Reinhart |
3 | Zombies. Just go with it! |
4 | Aliens with acid for blood. What, you thought Zombies was bad? |
5 | The Spec Ops team of a Climate-Change-denying government |
6 | A militia of chainsaw-toting Tasmanian Devils riding on Emus |
