[HYPE] Going In

That reminds me of the other question I wanted to pose to the board: Lucha Underground ends a few months later; the final episodes are already taped. The showrunner has already said that if they were to do another season they'd have to basically do a reboot because all the recognizable talent was too expensive. Would people be interested in playing it as it lays, as of Ultima Lucha?

Best way to handle this, I think, is to include Lucha Underground as a closed company but provide a readme (or use the promotion bio!) for recommended settings should the player want to do a relaunch. The lack of assigned contracts actually becomes a feature in this case, since it reflects the company's lack of a roster at that point in time.

That's a really good idea, but I don't think companies can close by narrative. I've been going back and forth whether to start the mod before or after All In just because there's not really any other way around that, and I don't know how many people are actually interested in revisiting the event itself.

I was thinking do a narrative to make it poor and insignificant. An alternative idea is make the ELITE company with everyone who was on All In have it set to close and do the show as a tribute show to a the ELITE company. It means the player can't book it but its a middle ground of having All In in the history of the game world.

The other thing that's kind of frustrating is that TEW can't really reproduce the 'palace intrigue' aspect of wrestling -- Vince was out of WWE, then he came back and Triple H was out, then Vince was out again. Or Sofia Alonso's abortive takeover of CMLL.

I made an account just so I could comment on this and say this is basically the mod I’ve been waiting for. I’ve been seriously itching to book AEW from the start with either Double or Nothing or even start it early after All In.

One question I have is how will the wrestler stats be distributed? Are they towards the lower end or higher end making it more feasible to get high ratings?

What a difference 7 years ma-

Oh... Oh no it's really been that long? Oooh noooo...

I was so excited when I started out on this project because the summer of 2018 was the last time I was really watching everything -- even TNA!! -- and I'm shocked by how much stuff I just straight-up can't remember on account of the fact that it was seven years ago

I have sourced a lot of data from Rick Savant's 2020 mod (with his permission, which I'm extremely thankful for), which in my opinion is one of the better mods in terms of balance for stats. I'm making a lot of little adjustments but for the most part I'm trying to keep it like that.

Is that the Before The Fall mod? I’ve heard good things about the balance in that one but haven’t played it myself
