Welcome to the Unreal-Verse!

A long time ago a tear opened in the fabric of reality and… nah, we’re not going to do that.

I have an old friend who shares my love of 90s pro wrestling and gaming. I approached him with the idea of a TEW game set in 1998 with all the regular promotions removed and we would each have a company and draft picks along with 3 computer players. They would choose based on an online die roller for some wonderfully random combinations. Happily, he agreed.

We are using the Montreal Aftermath mod by Genadi, carved up with blunt instruments and fast forwarded a little to begin in January 1998.
