Starting wealth for an Autoduel America campaign is $15,000. This may not seem like a lot, but that’s because the majority of the public are Struggling to Poor. The PCs start with Average wealth, average in that most of the money is held by a select few. Unless your character is going to start in some kind of Amateur Night scenario, he’ll probably want his own car. A good, safe reliable car costs too much to begin with. Therefore, a character may spend character points to buy a vehicle before play starts. For each point spent, the PC gets half of his starting wealth – up to a total of $15,000 for Poor or Struggling, $30,000 for Average or better – to purchase a car. Any “leftover” money is lost, so buy some extra fuzzy dice and air fresheners. The only vehicle a Dead Broke character may start with is an abandoned wreck, and only if he’s living in it.

  • Campaign will focus on the Oklahoma City area, but may include other locations within the (current) US
  • Enemies are restricted to a Frequency of 6, unless multiple characters share the same enemy
  • "City-Speak" (Ref:Bladerunner) is very common; Ref: Chinese, in Firefly
  • After initial captured assets have been determined, we will use the "Ships and Crews" section of Spaceships 2 (p.26) to deal with any additional capital the company might need—obviously, replace "ship" with "company" in these cases.
  • Auxiliaries will be 150pts/-75pts

Refer to Campaign Info for more information about the setting

Notes

  • '80s "Retro-Future"
