    Cool Alternate Earth/WWYCD: Rollerball World

    The world is similiar to the classic movie Rollerball, and your character's counterpart from this dimension is on one of the many teams that competes in the International Rollerball League. There are no superheroes or supervillains per se, and in fact the counterparts of the villains your PCs usually face back in their own worlds are merely players on rival teams here. What would your character's counterpart from this world be like? What would your character do if he/she encountered this dimension and their counterpart during an interdimensional travel arc in the campaign?

    On the off chance that there's anyone here who's unfamiliar with the movie, click here for the wikipedia article.

    The funny thing is, I consider Rollerball my favourite film of all time, and I actually patterened Terminus mentally after Jonathan E, James Caan's character in the film.

    Terminus couldn't play the game (it would be entirely unfair, he has superhuman strength and agility), but if anything like the events in the movie were occuring, he would definitely help out his equivalent in his rebellion against the corporation's dealings.

    I'd rather go to a dimension based on the remake, then I could get me some endorsement deals.

    If my character found himself in THAT world, he'd shoot all the bad actors pretending to be sportsmen.

    Or should that be the bad wannabes pretending to be actors..?

    Shoot them all, just to be sure.
