JOX

Second Edition

Crash and Burn, Baby


Introduction
This simple game was inspired by
an unjustly maligned movie; the only
live action giant robot combat movie
to ever hit the silver screen at the
time of this game’s first publication
in 2006. Sure, when it is compared to
today’s CGI giant robot films, it
does look dated, but it was visually
stunning in its day.
This game is a love letter to
that movie. It’s focused entirely on
recreating the themes of that film
(notably, televised giant robot arena
combat as sports entertainment). You
can easily use it for other types of
giant robot combat games, but this is
what it does first and foremost.
Creating Jocks
Creating jocks (i.e. giant robot
pilots) is simple. Jocks are defined
by three different things – their
physique, their robot piloting skill,
and their ability to talk trash on
other jocks. Write these things down
on a sheet of paper:
Physique
Piloting Skill
Talking Trash
Now, next to each of these three
things, you’ll need to write down a
number. What number? That depends on
you, my friend. You begin with ten
points to distribute amongst these
things. The more points allocated to
a given trait, the better your jock
will be at that thing.
The only restriction that exists
on allocating these points is that
each of these three traits must have
at least one point allocated to it.
-1-
All of these traits are important, so
while you may be tempted to skimp on
some of them, my advice to you is as
follows – don’t.
Finally, after you have done the
above two things, take a few moments
to give your jock a name, write down
a sentence or two that defines their
personality, note the government they
pilot a robot for, and name their two
biggest corporate sponsors.
Robot combat in the default
setting of Jox is the primary means
of settling foreign policy disputes
and the primary form of televised
entertainment. Additionally, jocks
and robots are sponsored by various
military contractors and corporate
entities who manufacture consumer
goods for the world at large.
So, basically, it’s the worst
aspects of government, mass media,
advertising, and capitalism taken
to extremes. Defining such elements
during character creation gives you
a chance to personally have a stake
in creating the campaign world that
your game takes place in.
Now that you’ve created a jock
whose role you will assume during
play, you need to create the robot
that they will pilot.
Creating Robots
Creating robots is also simple.
Robots are defined by two different
qualities – their range of motion and
their structural integrity. Write
down these two things down on your
sheet of paper, as shown at the top
of the following page.
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 to
allocate amongst these two things,
with more points being better.
Again, the only restriction on
allocating these points is that each
of these two traits must have at
least one point that is allocated to
it. Likewise, as was the case with
jock traits, both of these traits are
very important, so my advice remains
the same regarding the temptation to
skimp on either – don’t.
Now, after you have allocated
points to your robot’s basic traits,
as described above, you’ll need to
bolt some optional equipment onto its
chassis to give your jock a fighting
chance in the arena. Here’s how that
works...
Outfitting Robots
All giant robots in the world of
Jox are built on a chassis of roughly
humanoid form. All such units have a
head, torso, two arms, and two legs.
Each such chassis part has a number
of spaces to accommodate equipment.
Heads have 3 spaces, torsos have 4
spaces, each arm has 3 spaces, and
each leg has 2 spaces.
If you wish to customize the
appearance of your robot by doing
away with one or more of these “body”
parts or substituting different body
parts for the standard humanoid ones,
the spaces that are normally assigned
to chassis parts that you forego or
change are distributed amongst the
new or remaining robot chassis parts
as evenly as possible.
-2-
By default, every robot in the
Jox setting comes pre-equipped with
the following two equipment packages,
neither of which takes up space:
Cockpit Package:
Instruments and equipment that
includes the jock’s harness, a basic
HUD, and basic combat computer.
Basic Sensor Array:
A simple radar and sensor suite
with an effective range of 15" on the
tabletop battlefield.
Past these two stock packages,
choose what other armor, weapons, and
tech your robot is equipped with.
Following is a list of equipment,
with space requirements for mounting
noted. Choose any equipment you like
until you have filled the spaces
available (you may have some leftover
spaces, depending upon the equipment
configuration you choose).
.50 Gatling Gun
Spaces Required: 1 (any)
Damage Rating: 2/attack (kinetic)
Effective Range: 3"
A ten-barreled, liquid cooled,
rotating machine gun. Considered to
be a “light” weapon in the world of
Jox, the ammunition for this weapon
is comparatively small, meaning that
a lot of it can be carried onboard a
giant robot. Mechanically, this means
it never runs out of ammunition.
155mm Gauss Cannon
Spaces Required: 2 (any)
Damage Rating: 4/attack (kinetic)
Effective Range: 6"
A kinetic cannon that propels
large, cobalt, shells down the length
of its electromagnetic super-charged
barrel. The 155mm gauss canon comes
pre-loaded with four very explosive
shells. One such shell can be fired
per gauss cannon attack.
Damage Control Unit
Spaces Required: 2 (torso)
This unit is actually a suite of
several smaller systems that senses
and extinguishes cockpit fires, seals
cockpit breaches, and routes power to
auxiliary back-up systems in case of
emergency. Mechanically...
Having a DCU installed in your
robot adds four to its Structural
Integrity rating and, if a piece of
equipment is Taken Offline in combat,
you can use the DCU to re-route the
power from another piece of equipment
(disabling it) to bring the damaged
equipment back online.
Improved Combat Computer
Spaces Required: 2 (torso or head)
This upgrade allows jocks to aim
their robot’s ranged weapons with
more precision by crunching numbers
faster and more accurately than stock
combat computers. Mechanically...
The improved combat computer
grants jocks a +2 bonus to their
Piloting Skill when making ranged
attacks against targets that register
on their sensors.
Improved Sensor Array
Spaces Required: 1 (torso or head)
This sensor upgrade adds both
bio (i.e. life) and stealth detection
capability to a robot’s basic sensor
array. And it increases its effective
scanning distance from 15" to 30" on
the tabletop. Mechanically...
In addition to the extended
scanning range, a jock whose robot is
equipped with the improved sensor
array suffers no penalties if firing
on stealth-equipped robots.
-3-
Improved Servos
Spaces Required: 1/limb
Enhanced servomotors grant a
robot a greater Range of Motion in
the arena, making them very dangerous
opponents. Mechanically...
Improved servomotors add two to
a robot’s Range of Motion rating and
allow the jock to make an additional
attack on their turn.
In order to benefit from a
servomotor upgrade, new servomotors
must be mounted in all four robot
limbs. Non-humanoid robots cannot be
equipped with this upgrade.
Jump Jets
Spaces Required: 1/leg (or 2 torso)
Jump jets are powerful thrusters
utilized in pairs (if mounted in a
robot’s legs) or as a single unit (if
mounted in back of a robot’s torso),
that grants a robot more mobility in
the arena. Mechanically...
Having jump jets installed in a
robot grants a +2 bonus to a jock’s
Piloting Skill when rolling dice to
determine Initiative in combat.
Kinetic Armor
Spaces Required: 1/chassis part
A series of highly absorbent
plasticine plates affixed to the
exterior of a robot’s chassis which
protect against all forms of kinetic
damage (e.g. bullets, robot melee
attacks). Mechanically...
A robot fitted with kinetic
armor subtracts 1d6 from any kinetic
damage dealt to it. In order for
kinetic armor to be effective, the
entire surface of the robot must be
equipped with it.
Laser Cannon
Spaces Required: 1 (any)
Damage Rating: 3/attack (laser)
Effective Range: 24"
A small energy cannon that fires
a very narrow beam of super-focused
light that can penetrate metal.
Laser Gatling Gun
Spaces Required: 2 (any)
Damage Rating: 3/shot (laser)
Effective Range: 24"
As a laser cannon, but may fire
a shot from each one of its 3 barrels
per attack (each rolled separately).
Magnetic Grenade Launcher
Spaces Required: 2 (any)
Damage Rating: 3/attack (kinetic)
Effective Range: 4"
A large projectile weapon that
launches volleys of small, magnetic
grenades that stick to metal surfaces
successfully targeted, exploding upon
impact with deadly kinetic force. The
launcher comes pre-loaded with eight
volleys of grenades. One such volley
can be fired per attack.
Missile Pod
Spaces Required: 2 (any)
Damage Rating: 5/missile (kinetic)
Effective Range: 30"
Four guided missiles mounted in
a pod that deal kinetic damage when
they successfully strike an opponent.
All of these missiles may be fired at
once on a single given combat turn
(all rolled separately) or one at a
time on different turns.
Pilot Ejection Assembly
Spaces Required: 1 (torso or head)
A pressurized pneumatic canister
that, when triggered, jettisons the
robot’s cockpit door and the jock,
letting them escape to safety. If
your robot is close to being KO’d,
ejecting will save your bacon.
-4-
If you feel that your robot is
perilously close to being destroyed,
ejecting on your turn will allow you
to escape your robot’s fate to fight
another day – but it will undoubtedly
cost you some fans in the process.
Real jocks crash and burn, baby.
Plasma Cannon
Spaces Required: 2 (any)
Damage Rating: 4/attack (plasma)
Effective Range: 12"
An energy cannon that fires a
powerful, focused, stream of super-
heated plasma capable of cutting even
the densest of metals. No armor can
defend against plasma weapons.
Plasma Gatling Gun
Spaces Required: 3 (any)
Damage Rating: 4/shot (plasma)
Effective Range: 12"
As a plasma cannon, but may fire
a shot from each one of its 3 barrels
per attack (each rolled separately).
It must be allowed to cool down for
two rounds after each volley fired or
it will meltdown and go offline.
As was the case with the plasma
cannon, no armor can effectively
defend against volleys that are fired
by the plasma Gatling gun.
Reflective Armor
Spaces Required: 1/chassis part
A series of highly reflective,
polished, metal plates affixed to the
exterior of a robot’s chassis that
protect against damage from all laser
weapons. Mechanically...
A robot fitted with reflective
armor subtracts 1d6 from any laser
damage dealt to it. In order for
reflective armor to be effective, the
entire surface of the robot must be
equipped with it.
Sonic Assault Cannon
Spaces Required: 4 (any)
Damage Rating: 8/attack (sonic)
Effective Range: 5"
A large, bulky, experimental
weapon that uses extremely focused,
high-frequency sonic energy to damage
solid objects. Also....
A robot that is equipped with a
sonic assault cannon must reduce its
Range of Motion rating by two, as the
weapon is extremely unwieldy due to
its massive size.
Sonic Dampening
Spaces Required: 1/chassis part
A thin coat of plasticine spray
applied to a robot, sonic dampening
absorbs airborne vibration, reducing
damage from all sonic-based weapons.
Mechanically...
A robot that has been coated
with sonic dampening subtracts 1d6
from any sonic damage dealt to it. In
order for sonic dampening armor to be
effective, the entire surface of the
robot must be coated with it.
-5-
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 an improved sensor array
to target the stealth robot manually,
instead. Mechanically...
A jock whose robot is not
equipped with an improved senor array
suffers a -3 Piloting Skill penalty
when attempting to target a robot
equipped with stealth plating. In
order for stealth plating to be
effective, the entire surface of the
robot must be equipped with it.
In the Arena
The smell of hydraulic oil, the
sound of clashing metal, the hundreds
of screaming fans in the spectator
box – the crux of Jox is, of course,
arena combat. In the distant future,
robot combat is the most popular form
of televised entertainment (and the
only job real opportunity for former
wartime robot pilots). Here’s how
arena combat works in Jox...
Staging
Before an arena combat session
ever formally begins, staging takes
place. During combat staging,
the support team of each jock
whose bot is involved a combat
moves said bot to a starting
position of their choice within the
arena – provided their starting
position of choice is agreeable to
all of the other jocks who will
be involved in the combat that is
being staged.
 If a jock thinks that a starting
position gives an opponent an unfair
advantage, they may choose to veto
said starting position. Jocks have a
total of three such vetoes that they
can use per combat staging. After a
jock has invoked all three of their
vetoes, they can no longer voice any
opposition to an opponent’s starting
robot position during staging.
After all participating robots
have been assigned starting positions
that are agreeable to participating
pilots (i.e. and after any and all
opposition has been resolved), combat
resolution beings.
The Combat Round
The following is a breakdown of
an arena combat round between robots.
1. Determine Initiative
Jocks determine who acts, when.
2. Take Movement
Robots move in the order that
was determined in Step 1.
3. Attack
Robots attack in the order that
was determined in Step 1.
4. End of the Round
If only one opponent is left
standing, combat ends. If more
than one opponent remains, a
new combat 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
-6-
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.
Jocks take action during a round
in descending order of highest number
of even results rolled to lowest
number of even results rolled. Jocks
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 eight inches on the tabletop
per round). All movement must be
taken at this time. Any movement not
taken at this time is forfeited.
Attack
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. Now the target gets
a chance to defend.
In order for a robot to hit
an opponent with attack, they must
be within the effective range of
the weapon that is being used to
make the attack.
In case you’re wondering, the
range of a robot’s punch or kick
attacks is 1" on the tabletop.
 To defend against an incoming
attack (e.g. deflecting, 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, all even
results are collected and odd results
discarded.
If the defender rolls a number
of even results equal to or greater
than those rolled by the attacking
jock, the defensive maneuver succeeds
and no damage is dealt to the
targeted robot. On the other hand, if
the attacker rolls more even results
than the defender...
Damage equal to the Damage
Rating of the weapon that was used to
attack, plus the difference between
the number of even dice results
produced by the attacking jock and
the defending jock, is subtracted
from the Structural Integrity of the
robot that the attack hit.
For those wondering, the kick
and punch attacks of a robot have a
Damage Rating of 1 and do kinetic
damage when they strike.
If a robot has any special armor
equipped, it may protect them a bit
from damage, allowing the robot to
ignore a random amount of damage
inflicted. Such ignored damage is
subtracted from the total amount of
damage dealt, reducing it.
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
-7-
their robot’s systems (including its
weapons) has been Taken Offline.
When a system is taken offline,
it fails to function and, if it
grants any bonuses, those bonuses are
lost. 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 Knock Outs
If a bot’s Structural Integrity
rating is ever reduced to zero (or
less), that robot is knocked 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.
Destroyed robots are utterly
demolished, reduced to smoking hulks
of slag. If a jock is in a robot when
it is destroyed In the arena, they
are killed instantly.
End of the Round
After all jocks and robots have
taken movement and made an attack (or
attacks, if their equipment permits
them) during a round, the 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 the combat
then continues until a clear victor
can be cited by the panel of judges.

On the Streets
Professional jocks have no real
personal life outside of the arena,
but they do manage to fraternize with
other jocks in local bars. That said,
such fraternization often leads to
trash talking and fist fights, jocks
being the egotistical blowhards that
they are.
Brawl Breakdown
The following is a breakdown of
a barroom brawl between jocks.
1. Pick a Fight
A jocks picks a fight. Who acts
when is determined.
In order to determine when other
jocks act or speak during a brawl,
they need to roll a number of six-
sided dice equal to their Talking
Trash rating and collect the even
results, pushing the odd results to
the side (exactly as they did when
determining their initiative in the
combat arena).
These bystanders speak or talk
during a brawl in descending order of
highest number of even results rolled
to lowest number of even results
rolled. Jocks who roll an identical
number of even results speak or take
action simultaneously (i.e. their
players speak or take action one
after another but the outcomes are
applied simultaneously).

2. Talk Trash
Jocks spew nasty insults until
somebody loses their cool.

3. Attack
Jocks attack in the order that
was determined in Step 1.

4. End of the Brawl

If a jock has issued a challenge
and another jock has accepted the
challenge, then the brawl is over. If
no challenges have been made, or if a
challenge has been made, but has not
been answered, the brawl continues.

Picking a Fight
Less complex than initiating
combat in the robot arena, initiating
a barroom brawl is as easy as tapping
a fellow jock on the shoulder and
saying “You, know – you really suck!”
or some other offensive remark. This
trash-talking jock, obviously, speaks
and acts first in a brawl and the
object of his ire acts second.

-8-
 If you like, you may want to
think of picking a fight as being the
social equivalent of combat staging
as discussed on pages 5 and 6.
Talking Trash
Verbal sparring is part and
parcel of the jock lifestyle – those
jocks who can talk trash pull in the
biggest crowds. As wrestling fans of
our own time have discovered, a good
off-screen enmity adds a lot to an
on-screen brawl. The same holds true
in the world of Jox.
When talking trash, jocks issue
a scathing verbal attack aimed at a
given opponent, and then, in order to
determine its impact on the intended
target, roll a number of six-sided
dice equal to their Talking Trash
rating, collect the even results and
discard the odd results.
The target of such an attack is
granted the opportunity to deflect it
with a witty remark of their own,
also by rolling a number of six-sided
dice equal to their Talking Trash
rating, collecting the even results,
and ignoring the odd results.
If the defender rolls a number
of even results equal to or greater
than those rolled on behalf of the
insulting jock, their words fail to
provoke the defender. On the other
hand, if the insult-maker rolls more
even results than the defender, they
knock their chosen target down a
notch, and reduce their cool.
Losing Your Cool
Points equal to the difference
between the number of even results
produced on behalf of a jock who
slung an insult and a jock who tried
to deflect it are subtracted from the
-9-
Talking Trash rating of the jock who
got knocked down a peg.
Should a jock’s Talking Trash
rating be reduced to zero or less in
this manner, they go off the deep
end, exploding in a violent rage and
attacking their antagonist.
Attack
To attack another jock, one
rolls a number of six-sided dice
equal to their Physique rating. After
these dice are rolled, all even
results are collected and odd results
are pushed aside. As usual, a target
of such an attack gets a chance to
defend against it.
To defend against an incoming
attack, a jock rolls a number of six-
sided dice equal to their Physique
rating. After these dice are rolled,
even results are collected and odd
results discarded.
If the defender rolls a number
of even results equal to or greater
than those rolled on behalf of the
attacking jock, no damage is dealt to
the jock – if an attacker rolls more
even results, however...
Damage equal to the Damage
Rating of any hand weapon wielded (if
any), plus the difference between the
number of even results produced by
the attacker and the defender is then
subtracted from the Physique rating
of the jock that the attack hit.
Common hand weapons in the
world of Jox include ceramic knives
and other personal edged weapons
(DR: 2), modern laser pistols (DR:
4), and old school slug guns (DR:
3). The fists and feet of a jock
have a Damage Rating of 1 for the
purposes of resolving brawls.
Jock Knock Outs
If a jock’s Physique rating is
ever reduced to zero (or less), that
jock is laid out on the floor of the
bar. Delivering such a public beating
is considered tantamount to issuing
an arena challenge, and receiving
such a public beating is considered
tantamount to accepting a challenge
(See Below).
Note that a jock who has been
laid out isn’t actually dead just
yet. This requires that an opponent
take one final (and illegal) action.
Although it may be barbaric, the
world of Jox has no place for cold-
blooded murder – there’s no honor in
killing a defenseless man.
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
robot equipped with numerous secret
weapons specifically designed to mete
out punishment to criminals.
Should your jock be murdered
in the bar, you get to play the
part of The Judge in the subsequent
arena battle to avenge your jock.
The Judge is a massive robot
with double the number of equipment
spaces of a regular bot, as well as
25 points to allocate amongst its
two traits, instead of 15.
You should create new, neat-o
weapons to arm The Judge with (in
addition to regular weapons). Such
weapons should be designed by all
of the players, as a group.
I recommend saving these so-
called “secret” weapons on index
cards, so they can be referenced
easily for future games.
-10-
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
combat 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 redeemed in the arena!
After Battles
After a brawl or an arena combat
has been resolved, all reduced traits
(e.g. Physique, Structural Integrity,
Trash Talking, etc) are 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 jock
whose bot is left standing when the
dust clears) is awarded a point of
Prestige.
Points of Prestige 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 the traits of either costing
an amount of Prestige equal to the
trait’s current rating.
