A REMINDER OF THE ACTUAL "CORE VALUE"

Be nice / Don’t be a dick – The first and most important rule. Ask yourself if it feels like you’re trying to find a loophole or game the system. If it does, then it probably is and it won’t be fun for other players. So, don’t.

Remember: We are grown adults and we are playing a game of plastic soldiers gangers where normal people can’t make fun of us. It should be impossible to take seriously. In summary, the best game of Necromunda is one where, regardless of the eventual victor, all players had fun and legends were made. 

Our other values can be found here...

STRUCTURE AND RHYTHM

The League is not based around the modern Necromunda format of fighting battles to gain or defend control of territories, rackets, or other assets. Instead, battles are fought only to earn Credits, Experience (XP), and Reputation. Battles are fought solely for the Rewards described by the Scenario.

There are no Campaign Weeks/Cycles – Instead, battles serve as markers for Income, Fighter Recoveries, and other actions, events, or rules that are normally tied to Campaign Weeks/Cycles.

GROUP GAMES

Just like there is no ‘I’ in Necromunda, there is no ‘we’ either. That said, group games (3+ players) are often the best games. Every quarter we will look at organising at group game to get together and FIGHT. If any player wishes to devise a scenario or narrative, please let the arbitrator know.

RETIRING FIGHTERS

Gangs may retire Fighters to reduce their gang rating. Fighters with the Gang Hierarchy (or equivalent) rule may leave the gang with all their Wargear and become a Hired Gun. 

CAPTURED FIGHTERS

Players may buy back any previously Captured Fighters sold to the Guilders for their cost minus equipment.

SWINGING AT THE TOP DOG

Inevitably some gangs become too powerful that they cease to be fun to play against. We will encourage two possible solutions to this issue should it arise:

• Blaze of Glory: The powerful gang faces off against an alliance of smaller gangers in a multi-player showdown. This is deliberately unbalanced against the powerful gang. Scenarios to achieve this have been printed in White Dwarf and the Arbitrator can provide.

• Retirement/Splinter Gang: The powerful gang retires of its own volition. The player may choose to form a Splinter Gang from some of its key members, reducing its rating back down to 1000 credits as per the gang creation rules.

HOUSE RULES UPDATES

Any persistent rules issues or clarifications will be entered into a revised house rules and shared through the WhatsApp chat where we will notify all players should rules change along the way.
