Like a back-alley brawl. Or a street scuffle. Roadway rumble. That kind of stuff.
Just two "gangs" who hate each other and fight in an alley way. hitting eachother with bricks and pushing and shoving. A hand-to-hand knock-out fight. Maybe someone will die if things escalate too much. That'd be interesting.
Obviously these would be multicultural, gender-neutral gangs. Because these aren't real gangs or anything like real gangs. More like groups of really good friends who despite their differences have a very strong and similar world view and another group of people have very conflicting world views and they are gonna punch each other.
I was thinking of trying out a new system I had on the drawing board, to bring this to a swift end. Once we have our characters made with all of their strengths and weaknesses, I was thinking we could plan it out in OOC. Have a verbal debate on who would win or what would happen if a character did this. What mistakes would the characters make? What moves could they pull off? What if one of them just gets clobbered straight away? What if one of them ran to a rooftop?
We could make an outline on who would take out who and how they would do it, and what the fight would be like. I like the looks of this because it prevents people from accidentally stirring up trouble for doing a move that other players think is a little ridiculous. Also, since the whole fight would be planned out, it would take a lot of pressure off of the roleplayers to do the right move at the right time. And, the whole group could co-ordinate really cool sequences that would make an epic story.
