Grottos & Gremlins
« on: October 28, 2012, 02:22:07 PM »
I have always wondered.....What are the rules and what are the Characters for Grottos & Gremlins ? 

Did some poking around, and from the Wiki I only get this....

“Grottos and Gremlins is a role-playing game that the Nerds play. It appears to be similar to Dungeons & Dragons, with some sort of added collectible card game aspect. In an early cutscene, some of the Nerds are seen playing it in the cafeteria, and later, Melvin's G&G Character Sheets are stolen by the Bullies. Two sets are also found in the Dragon's Wing Comics shop, one at a table to the left on the ground floor, and one nestled near the Beam Cola machine in the basement.”

Then, further down, a small surprise......

“Apparently the game is so popular that it was necessary to ban it from the classrooms.
Rockstar was going to make Grottos and Gremlins into a minigame based on the arcade game Gauntlet, but due to lack of time this idea was scrapped.”


So, went to the Gauntlet link, so here it is....One of them old stand-up Arcade Games, apparently......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_%28arcade_game%29

More from the Wiki.....

“Grottos and Gremlins Cards are one of the various collectible items in the game. The cards are scattered all over Bullworth. They are hidden in Bully, but in Scholarship Edition, passing Geography 3 reveals their location on the map. Collecting them all earns Jimmy the Grotto Master Outfit.”

Found this, mostly picking up the Rubberbands with at least one G&G Card.  Watch at 2:50-2:51 for a shot of the Dorm room off to the left with actual furniture in it......

Bully Scholarship Edition How to collect cards,rubberbands at the beginning pt.1

Another Vid I found showing Jimmy running around in the Grotto Master Outfit....Piss Poor quality......

Bully - Grotto Master Costume

So....Anyone know of Rules & Characters ?  Tis but a bit o' mystery to me.

 :hmm:
Well the game has been mentioned a few times in Bully.
Only one character has been mentioned and that's the 'Elf princess'
and the rules? As the townies would say 'All about killing people & taking there stuff'

I actually fully intend on rewriting one of the arcade games to make it into a playable Grottos & Gremlins game since I have many many years real D&D experience I can easily craft something similar to what Rockstar wanted to originally and make things more fun for Bully.

Red and I have discussed this before.

Waite a minute,that sounds a lot like Munchkins!
( http://www.worldofmunchkin.com/munchkinquest/ )

Also here,s D&D rulebook
( http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/DDGCON_Rulebook_EN.pdf )


SO it could be played like this:
1)You have an dungeon (more of them,something like that thingy in Dragon's wing) in which you play
2)you trow an dice to mowe and do actions(attack,curse...)
3)monsters spawn in dungeons
4)you can help or backstab your playmates
5)you can play with only one character (character cards),but you have something like 40 extra cards in deck (?)(one deck for ewerybody?separated decks?) ,and fiwe cards in hand that you can play

I want to make a Grottos & Gremlins board game. It sounds like a fun game to play.

This throws loads of ideas in my head, you know those online chess games, we should make an online G&G game.
