NOW THIS IS POD RACING
CORE RULES & RACER ROSTER

Quick Reference

  • Roll 1d12, add/subtract any modifiers, then add Speed (SP) → this is your movement.
    • Example: Ody Mandrell rolls a 7, adds 9 SP (7+9=16 movement)
  • Spend it moving forward: straight = 1, change lanes = 2.
  • You must use all your movement. Can't? You collide with an obstacle and take 1 damage (DMG).
  • Landing on an occupied square costs 2x (2 straight / 4 lane change). Can't afford it? You can't take that move.

Core Rules

  • You must always move "forward." Moving straight costs 1, changing lanes costs 2.
  • Each racer rolls D12 (−/+ any mods) and adds Speed (SP) to determine Movement.
  • Racers must use all their movement each turn. If you cannot, you collide with an obstacle and take 1 DMG.
  • Only 1 pod per square. Moving into an occupied square costs double (2 straight / 4 lane change). If you can't get past the pod and end in a legal square, you may not perform the maneuver.
  • If you crash into another pod (or fly through one), each racer rolls 2D6. Loser takes 1 damage. No damage on a tie.
  • If you crash into a wall or other obstacle, take 1 damage.
  • Each pod starts with 3 HP. When depleted, lose your next turn and restore to full health (flip your pod over, then upright again instead of taking your next turn).
  • If you are in last place, add +6 to your movement.
