Chariots of Rubbish Part 2: Frames

ON BUILDING YOUR RIDE

In Chariots Of Rubbish, the Vehicles are C2ARS!*

They have five stats each.
CREW is how many dudes you can fit in the car.
CONTROL is how well you can avoid stuff.
ACCELERATION is how fast you can push it.
RAMMING  is how much it hurts if you hit someone.
STABILITY is how unlikely it is to explode.

When making a stat check, you roll 1d10 and add your stat. If there's no target number or opposed roll to beat, you have to get 6 or higher.

If you're looking to run a one shot race, have everyone roll once on Frames, Drives, Extras, and Weapons; roll on Racers and Mooks as needed. Add up your stats, write down your special abilities, and you're done!

If you're running a campaign where players keep their cars and improve them between races, invent a Racer and roll a Frame and a Drive. All that other stuff is what you get from looting, scavenging, and winning.

A final note on creating cars: I don't give the player any options. I prefer the game to be about stupid fun instead of min maxing. That said, if a player HATES what she got, I'll give her a reroll. Again, stupid fun.

*Would you believe me if I told you that the stats just HAPPENED to spell out CARS? I shit you not.


ON THE FACT THAT I INCLUDED MODEL NUMBERS WITH EVERYTHING


That's mostly so you can google this stuff. For fluff purposes, feel free to ignore them utterly.
