Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Destiny

Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Destiny: The Game

Beer n' Pretzels RPG, pop-culture battle-royale. Classic inspiration as Internet meme.

Required Equipment

Tokens, a deck of cards

Character Creation

Go around the table. Each player announces the pop-culture icon they wish to play. If no one else at the table recognizes the character, this player is officially a hipster and should be mocked. They may not play this character. Go to the next player around the table. Repeat until everyone has chosen a character.

Setup

Each player starts with 10 tokens. These tokens may or may not be shots of alcohol.

Play

Pick someone to start, however you decide. It is their turn. Each player is in complete control of the scene on their turn, and can declare anything happens, from the perspective of their character. If someone disagrees with that declaration, they can call "Bullshit!"

Bullshit

Joebob is narrating. Sallybob calls bullshit. To call bullshit, Sallybob must ante a token. At this point, Joebob is free to surrender. Sallybob is now the narrator.

If Joebob does not surrender, he must also ante a token. Both players draw a card, and now things turn into a game of modified Idiot's poker. Players may not see their own cards, but must hold the card up so others can see it. The two players involved in this bullshit may take turns increasing the wager, until both of them "check". Highest card wins.

The winner gets to keep their tokens, and is now the narrator. The loser loses their tokens (the winner does not get them!). If the tokens are shots of alcohol, someone at the table must drink them, either the winner or loser, by the table's preference.

Special rule: During the Idiot's Poker segment, either player may sacrifice a token (drink a shot) to earn a second card. They still don't get to see it, but they have two chances at having the highest card.

Multiple bullshit: Multiple players might call bullshit at the same time, or may join in a bullshit session when it starts. It's still resolved by idiot's poker.

Being Badass/Lameass

Sometimes, a player will do something awesome that makes the whole table laugh (being badass). Sometimes, they'll do something stupid which annoys everybody (being lameass). If everyone at the table agrees that a player is badass, that player gains a token. If everyone at the table agrees that the player is being lameass, that player loses a token.

Dealing Damage

If one player narrates an event which would cause another player to be hurt, that player loses a token. (If you're playing with shots, the narrator should drink this shot) Any player, including the victim, may call bullshit on this. If the narrator wins the bullshit session, the victim still loses a token (on top of any they lost during the Idiot's Poker segment)

Dying

When a player is out of tokens, they're dead. They are not, however, removed from the game. At any point, they may call out "Blaze of Glory!" and narrate the one, final, dying act of their character. Nobody can call bullshit on this, however, if the table agrees this death is lameass, then the Blaze of Glory is ignored and the player just dies, and nobody talks to them ever again. Because c'mon, don't be a douche.

Yes, And…

Remember, being badass means going, "Yes, and…" to anything that happens. Even if you call bullshit, you shouldn't completely contradict what the other player narrated.
