Decommissioned Big Three

Big Three
1. What is your game about?
Decommissioned is a satirical look at the dehumanization of corporate life.  In the game, players take on the role of Battlebots, Atificially Intelligent combat units manufactured by multi-global corporate entities specifically to war with the Battlebots of other corporations.  The PC Battlebots have decided to escape their monotonous existence for a short span of freedom, knowing that once they leave The Compound, their Tech Masters will flip their Killswitch and their Core will begin Meltdown, the inexorable descent to destruction.  Each Battlebot will have a specific goal from character creation and the game is about its pursuit of that goal.  This goal is created by the player in corporation with the GM.

2. What do the characters do?
Decommissioned PCs are Battlebots that begin play escaping The Compound and spend their remaining existence pursuing their one goal before their Meltdown (destruction).  During this time, the Battlebots will face conflict with their former department members (other Battlebots) and other obstacles until the Battlebot either meets destruction while achieving their goal, or possibly being destroyed before accomplishing it.

3. What do the players do?
During the initial stage of the game, the player(s) and GM choose the length for the game (1, 2 or 3 hours) and players create their Battlebot’s goals.  Then, the GM begins play and the timer begins.  As time progresses, PCs suffer Core Failures, losing their main character statistic.  However, by trying new things and driving towards their stated goal, players can increase a second stat that can be used to help their Battlebot succeed at conflicts.
