JOX

Crash and Burn, Baby

OGL Edition
Introduction
This simple game was inspired by a
much maligned (and unjustly so) movie of the
early 1980s, the only live action giant robot
combat movie ever to hit the big screen. Sure,
when compa red to the standards of today’s
CGI effects, the film looks very dated, but at
the time of its release, it was visually stunning
(if somewhat short on plot).
Creating Jox
Creating “jox” (i.e., giant robot pilots)is
a simple affair. Jox, as they stand, are defined
largely by three different things – their
physique, their piloting skill, and their ability to
talk trash on other pilots. Write these three
things down on a blank sheet of paper, thus:
Physique
Piloting Skill
Talking Trash
Now, next to each of these three things,
you’ll need to write a number. What number?
Well, that depends on you. You begin with 10
points to distribute amongst these things. The
more points that you allocate to a given trait,
the better your jock will be for it.
The only restriction on allocating these
points at the present time is that each of these
three traits must have at least 1 point allocated
to them. All of these traits are important, so
while you may be tempted to skimp on some of
them, my advice is as follows – don’t.
Finally, after you have done the above
two things, take a few moments to give your
jock a name and define their personality, as
well as what country’s team they pilot robots for
(robot combat is a bit like the Olympics).
Now that you’ve created a jock, whose
role you will assume during actual play, you
need to create the robot that they will pilot.
1
Creating Robots
Creating robots is sim ple. Robots are
initially defined by two different qualities – their
range of motion and their structural integrity.
Write these two things down on your sheet of
paper, as shown directly below:
Range of Motion
Structural Integrity
As was the case with your jock’s traits,
you’ll need to allocate some points amongst
your robot’s traits, as well. Here, you have 15
points that you may allocate amongst these two
things, with more points alloca ted to a trait
indicating more X (X being said trait).
Again, the only restriction on allocating
these points at the present time is that each of
these two traits must have at least 1 point
allocated to them. Both of these traits are
important, so while you m ay be tempted to
skim p on some of them, m y advice is as
follows – don’t.
Now, after you have allocated points to
your robots’ basic traits, as described above,
you’ll need to bolt some optional attachm ents
onto its chassis in order to give your jock a
fighting chance in the arena. Here’s how
customizing your robot works....
Customizing Robots
All giant robots in the world of Jox are
built in humanoid form. All such units have a
head, torso, two arms, and two legs by default.
Each of these chassis parts has a num ber of
spaces to accommodate equipment and/or
weaponry – heads have 2 spaces, torsos have
4 spaces, arms have 3spaces each, and legs
have 2 spaces each.
Some players may want to customize the
appearance of their robot by doing away with
one or more of these body parts. If this is the
case, those spaces normally attributed to the
chassis parts that the player foregoes are,
instead, distributed amongst the remaining
chassis parts evenly (or as close to evenly as
mathematics allow).
By default, every robot in the Jox setting
comes front-loaded (i.e., pre-equipped) with
the following equipment, none of which takes
up spaces:
Co ckpit Package: A suite of instruments that
includes a pilot’s harness, basic HUD, and
basic combat computer.
Basic Sensor Array: A suite of simple radar
and sensors with an effective range of 15".
Past these stock features, you’ll need to
choose what other armor, weapons, and tech
your robot will be equipped with. What follows
is a list of equipment, with specific space
requirements noted. Choose equipment until
you have filled the spaces available to you.
.50 Gatling Gun
Spaces Required: 1 (Any)
Damage Rating: 2
Effective Ran ge: 2"
A large, ten-barreled, liquid cooled,
rotating machine gun, the .50 Gatling Gun is
largely ineffective against other robots.
60 millimeter Gauss Cannon
Spaces Required: 2 (Any)
Damage Rating: 4
Effective Range: 6"
A large kinetic cannon (pre-loaded with
4 shots) which propels a large, steel shell down
an electromagnetically charged barrel.
Damage Control Unit
Spaces Required: 2 (Torso)
This unit is actually a suite of smaller
systems that automatically sense and extinguish
cockpit fires, seal cockpit breaches, and rout
power to auxiliary back-up systems in case of
emergency. Mechanically speaking....
2
Having a DC U installed in your robot
adds 1 to its Structural Integrity rating and, if a
given piece of equipment is Taken Offline
during combat, can re-route the power from
another piece of equipment to bring the
damaged equipment back online.
Improved Comb at Computer
Spaces Required: 2 (Torso or Head)
This combat computer upgrade allows
pilots to aim their ranged weapons with more
precision by crunching numbers faster and
more accurately than stock computers.
Mechanically speaking....
An improved combat computer grants
pilots a +2 bonus to their Piloting Skill when
making ranged attacks against another robot
or other target that registers on their sensors.
Improved Sensor Array
Spaces Required: 1(Torso or Head)
This sensor array upgrade adds both
bio (i.e., life) and stealth detection capability to
a robot’s basic sensor array, and increases its
effective scanning distance to 30" inches.
Mechanically speaking...
A pilot whose robot is equipped with an
improved sensor array suffers no penalty when
attempting to fire on soft targets (i.e., targets
that don’t register on radar, such as stealth
equipped robots or living beings).
Improved Servos
Spaces Required: 1 per Limb
Enhanced servomotors grant a robot a
greater Range of Motion in the arena, making
them very dangerous opponents. Mechanically
speaking....
Improved servomotors add two to a
robot’s Range of M otion rating and allow the
pilot to make one additional attack every round
spent in the arena. In order to benefit from a
servomotor upgrade, new servomotors must be
placed in all of a robot’s limbs.
Jump Jets
Spaces Required: 1 per Leg (or 2 torso)
A ‘jump jet’ is powerful thruster utilized
in pairs (if mounted in a robot’s legs) or as a
single unit (if mounted in the back of a robot’s
torso), that grants a robot more mobility in the
arena. Mechanically speaking...
Having jump jets installed in your robot
grants jox a +2 bonus to their Piloting Skill
when checking for Initiative on the battlefield
during combat.
Kinetic Armor
Spaces Required: 1 (per Chassis Part)
A series of highly absorbent plasticine
plates affixed to a robot’s chassis which protect
against all forms of kinetic damage (e.g.
bullets, robot melee attack, etc). Mechanically
speaking....
The pilot of a robot fitted with kinetic
armor, subtracts 4 from any kinetic damage
dealt to it. N ote that, in order for kinetic armor
to be effective, the entire surface of the robot
must be protected.
Laser Cannon
Spaces Required: 1 (Any)
Damage Rating: 3
Effective Range: 8"
A small energy cannon that fires a very
narrow beam of focused light.
Laser Gatling Gun
Spaces Required: 2 (Any)
Damage Rating: 6/volley
Effective Range: 8"
As above, but may fire a shot from each
one of its 3 barrels per round. Unfortunately, it
must be allowed to cool for two rounds after
each volley fired or it will meltdown, becoming
completely useless.
Ma gnetic Grenade Launcher
Spaces Required: 2 (Any)
Damage Rating: 3/volley
3
Effective Range: 4"
A large projectile weapon (pre-loaded
with eight shots) that launches volleys of small,
magnetic grenades which stick to any metal
surface successfully targeted, exploding upon
impact with deadly force.
Missile Pack
Spaces Required: 2 (Any)
Damage Rating: 5/missile
Effective Range: 12"
Four guided missiles mounted in a pod
capable of being jettisoned after it has been
emptied of it payload.
Pilo t Ejection Assembly
Spaces Required: 1 (Torso or Head)
A pressurized pneumatic canister that,
when triggered, jettisons the robot’s cockpit
door and the pilot. If your robot is KO’d and
your opponent is closing in for the kill, ejecting
early could save your bacon. Mechanically
speaking....
If your robot is perilously close to being
destroyed, ejecting will allow you to escape
your bot’s fate to fight another day (even if it
costs you some fans in the process).
Plasma Cannon
Spaces Required: 2 (Any)
Damage Rating: 4
Effective Range: 10"
A large energy cannon that fires a
focused stream of plasma energy.
Plasma Gatling Gun
Spaces Required: 3
Damage Rating: 8/volley
Effective Range: 10"
As above, but may fire a shot from each
one of its 3 barrels per round. Unfortunately, it
must be allowed to cool for two rounds after
each volley fired or it will meltdown, becoming
completely useless.
Reflective Armor
Spaces Required: 1 (per Chassis Part)
A series of highly reflective metal plates
affixed to the exterior of a robot’s chassis which
protect against damage from all light-based
energy weapons. Mechanically speaking....
The pilot of a robot fitted with reflective
armor, subtracts 3 from any light-based energy
damage dealt to it. Note that, in order for
reflective armor to be effective, the entire
surface of the robot must be protected.
Sonic Assault Cannon
Spaces Required: 3 (Any)
Damag e Rating : 8
Effective Range: 5"
A large, bulky, experimental weapon
that uses an extremely focused, high-frequency
sonic pulse to structurally damage solid
objects. Also....
A robot that si equipped with a sonic
assault cannon must reduce its Range of
Motion rating by two, reflecting the unwieldy
nature of the weapon, due to its size.
Sonic Dampening
Spaces Required: 1 (per Chassis Part)
An thin coat of experimental plasticine
spray applied to a robot, sonic dampening
absorbs airborne vibration, reducing damage
from all sonic-based weapons. Mechanically
speaking....
If your robot has been coated with sonic
dampening, subtract 5 from any sonic-based
damage dealt to it. Note that, in order for
sonic dampening to be effective, the entire
surface of the robot must be coated.
Stealth Plating
Spaces Required: 1 (per Chassis Part)
A series of thick, absorbent, plates that
are applied to a robot’s chassis, rendering it
invisible to radar and forcing a jock whose
robot doesn’t have im proved sensors to target
it manually. Mechanically speaking....
4
A pilot whose robot is not equipped with
an improved senor array suffers a -3 penalty to
their Piloting Skill when attempting to target a
robot equipped with stealth plating. Note that
a robot’s entire chassis must be covered in
stealth plating in order for it to function.
In the Arena
The smell of hydraulic oil, the sounds of
clashing metal, the hundreds of screaming fans
in the spectator box – the crux of Jox is, of
course, arena combat. In the far future, robot
combat is the most popular form of televised
entertainment (and the only job opportunity for
former wartime robot pilots). Here’s how arena
combat works in Jox....
Staging
Before an arena combat ever formally
begins, staging takes place. During staging,
the support team of each jock whose bot is
involved in a combat moves said bot to a
starting position of their choice within the
arena – provided that their chosen starting
position is agreeable to all other jox who will
be involved in the combat being staged.
If any jock thinks that a starting position
gives an opponent an unfair advantage, he
may veto the use of said starting position. Jox
have a total of three such veto votes that they
may enact per arena combat – after a jock has
invoked all three of their vetoes, they can no
longer voice their opposition to bot starting
positions during a given combat staging.
After all participating bots have been
assigned a starting position that is satisfactory
to all participating pilots (i.e., after any and all
opposition has been voiced and resolved).
Round Breakdown
The following is a detailed breakdown
of an arena combat round between robots.
1. Determine Initiative
Jox determine who can act when.
2. Take Movement
Jox take movem ent in initiative order.
3. Attack and Defend
Jox attack or defend in initiative order.
4. End of the Round
If only one opponent left standing, then
combat is over. If m ultiple opponents
remain, a new round begins.
Determine Initiative
Every jock involved in an arena combat
begins a round by rolling a number of six-sided
dice equal to the rating of their Piloting Skill,
plus any equipment bonuses (see also Jump
Jets). After these dice are rolled, collect all
even results (e.g. 2, 4. 6) and push any odd
results (e.g. 1, 3, 5) to the side.
Jox take action during a round in
descending order of highest number of even
results rolled to lowest number of even results
rolled. Jox who roll the same number of even
results take action simultaneously (i.e., their
players act one after another, but the action
outcomes are applied simultaneously).
Take Movement
During a round, a robot may move a
number of inches on the tabletop up to its
Range of Motion rating (e.g. a robot with a
ROM rating of 8 may move up to 8 inches on
the tabletop per round). All movement must be
taken at this time or be forfeited.
Attack and Defend
To attack another robot, a jock rolls a
number of six-sided dice equal to their Piloting
Skill, plus any applicable equipment bonuses.
After these dice are rolled, all even results are
collected and odd results are pushed aside.
5
Now the target gets a chance to defend.
In order to strike an opponent with an attack,
they must be within the effective range of the weapon
being used to make the attack. In case you’re
wondering, the effective range of a robot’s punch or
kick is 1".
To defend against an incoming attack
(by way of parrying or dodging), a jock rolls a
number of six-sided dice equal to their Piloting
Skill, plus any applicable equipment bonuses.
After these dice are rolled, even results are
collected, and odd results discarded.
Whichever jock rolled m ore even results
gains the upper hand in the conflict (i.e., their
action succeeds, and their opponent’s action
fails). If a defensive maneuver succeeds, then
no damage is dealt to the ta rgeted robot – if
an attack succeeds, however....
Damage equal to the Damage Rating
of a weapon, plus the difference between the
number of even results produced by the jock
who initiated an attack and the jock who tried
to defend against it, is subtracted from the
Structural Integrity of the robot that the attack in
question successfully hit.
The good news is that, if a robot has
any armor equipped, it may protect them a bit
from damage, allowing the bot to ignore a
given number of damage points. Such ignored
damage is subtracted from the total amount of
damage dealt, reducing it.
For the record, a robot’s punches and kicks
have no Damage Rating.
Systems Damage
Any time that a robot sustains damage
as the result of a successful attack, the jock
who is piloting the damaged robot needs to
roll one six-sided die – if the result of this die
roll is an odd number, then one of their robot’s
optional systems has been Taken Offline.
 When a system is taken offline, it fails
to function and, if it grants any bonuses to the
jock, they lose those bonuses. The good news
is that, when it is determined a system goes
offline, the jock who is piloting the damaged
robot gets to decide just what system it is that
gets shut down.
Bot K nock Outs
If a bot’s Structura l Integrity rating is
ever reduced to zero (or less), that robot is out
of commission – it (and its jock) are out of the
match. That said, the robot isn’t destroyed just
yet – this requires that an opponent take one
final, cruel, action.
Where robots tha t have merely been
knocked out can be repaired for future arena
combats, destroyed bots cannot be salvaged.
Destroyed bot are utterly demolished, hulks of
rusted metal and burned slag.
End of the Round
After all jox and robots have taken
movement and made an attack (or attacks, if
their equipment permits them) during a round,
a round comes to an end. What that means
depends on two things, as follow.
If only one robot is left standing at the
end of a given round, the combat is over and
that robot (as well as their jock) is deemed the
victor, winning a few more fans and some
much needed prestige.
If more than one robot is left standing
at the end of a round, then a new round begins
and combat continues until a clear victor can
be cited by the panel of judges.
On the Street
Professional jox have no real personal
life outside of the arena, but they do manage
to fraternize with other jox in local bars. That
said, such fraternization often leads to trash
talking and fist fights, jox being the egotistical
blowhards that they are....

Brawl Breakdown
The following is a detailed breakdown
of a barroom brawl between jox.
1. Picking a Fight
A jock initiates verbal parley.
2. Talk Trash
Jox spew som e insults at one another.
3. Attack and Defend
Jox attack or defend in initiative order.
4. End of the Brawl
If one jock has issued a challenge and
another accepted it, then the brawl is
over. If no challenges have been made,
or if a challenge has been made, but
not answered, the brawl continues.
Picking a Fight
Less complex than initiating combat in
the arena, initiating a barroom brawl is as easy
as tapping a fellow jock on the shoulder and
saying “You, know Vladim ir – you really suck!”
or some other such offensive remark. This jock,
obviously, acts first in the brawl and the object
of his ire acts second.
In order to determine when other jox act
during the brawl, their players need to roll a
number of six-sided dice equal to their Talking
Trash rating, collect the even results, and push
the odd results to the side (much as they did
when determining initiative in the arena).
These bystanders take action during a
brawl in descending order of highest number of
even results rolled to lowest number of even
results rolled. Jox who roll the same number of
even results take action simultaneously (i.e.,
their players act one after another, but action
outcomes are applied simultaneously).
If you like, you may want to think of
picking a fight as being the social equivalent of
combat staging.

 If one jock should ever murder another
outside of the arena, they’ll only be piloting a
robot one more time – in a match versus The
Judge; a colossal bot equipped with numerous
secret weapons specifically designed to mete
out punishment upon criminals.
End of the Brawl
After each jock involved with the brawl
has talked some trash and at least one of them
has lost their cool and taken a swing at their
foe, then the brawl may be over, provided that
one of the parties issued a challenge during
the action (i.e., dared their opponent to step
into the arena).
If a challenge has been both issued and
accepted, then the brawl is over – the jocks
involved rush off to the arena. If a challenge
has been issued, but not accepted, then the
brawl continues, possibly sucking in a number
of bystanders (if they haven’t been involved by
this point in time already).
Finally, if no challenge has been issued
or answered, the brawl continues until these
conditions are met – in the world of Jox, honor
can only be redeem ed in the arena!
Stalemates
When two opponents have the same
number of even die roll results generated on
their behalf, a stalemate occurs (i.e., for the
time being, neither side of the conflict being
resolved gains the upper hand).
After Battles
After a brawl or an arena combat has
been resolved, all reduced traits (e.g., Trash
Talking, Physique, Structural Integrity, etc) are
fully replenished (provided that a given jock or
robot hasn’t been killed or destroyed).
Additionally, the victor of a given arena
battle (i.e., the pilot whose bot is left standing
when the dust clears) is awarded a point of
8
Prestige. These points may later be “cashed in”
by a player in order to boost the traits of their
jock or their robot, with an increase of one
point in either costing an amount of Prestige
equal to the trait’s current rating.
Final Words
This game was originally designed in
just a little under five hours to provide some
entertainment following the cancellation of a
regularly scheduled game session. Since that
time, this game has undergone several
revisions, including the one that you are
currently reading.
Here, Jox has been further expanded
and released, in part, under the Open Game
License (Version 1.0a) to promote said license
as being viable for games not based upon
rolling a single d20 and as being the only
explicitly defined open license in circulation.
As a license, the OGL does not restrict
or inhibit the circulation of games if they fail to
implement a d20-based mechanic, nor does it
demand that games released under it make
use of such a mechanic (of course, if you’re
looking to maximize your profit margins, doing
so is a good idea).
Further, the OGL very specifically spells
out the terms of its use, rather than defaulting
to extremely vague legalize or the deliberate
non-definition of terms such as “according to
terms to be determined by the licensor”. Once
content is released under the OGL, it stays
open – period. This isn’t the case with many
other popular “open” licenses.
When you buy or download a product
released under the OGL, you can rest easy
knowing that the open content therein won’t
(and can’t) be yanked from the market in the
future. Additionally, the terms under which you
can use such content are very specific – which
protects you from frivolous lawsuits.
