5-Star Match: Now Funding on Kickstarter
This is a community-submitted press release.

5-Star Match, currently on Kickstarter, is a solo professional wrestling TTRPG in which you build and run your own wrestling promotion. Create your roster full of colorful characters, put them in evolving storylines, and run a series of wrestling events to grow your promotion. If you've ever watched a wrestling show and thought about how you might tell a better story, now's your chance!

5-Star Match uses its own system inspired by games like Lasers and Feelings and Blades in the Dark. Make an entire roster quickly using a simple point-buy system that lets you key in on wrestling archetypes like the high-flyer, the technical wrestler, or the jack-of-all-trades. Put your wrestlers in a variety of storylines which can earn progress over time, letting you slowly develop your wrestlers' feuds into gripping must-watch battles. Fill out the details of each wrestling event with a mix of promos and matches where you pick the winners and losers, then roll dice to see whether each segment connects with the fans or completely crashes. Use Snapshots earned from each segment to describe the highlights of your event. Add specialty match situations, deal with unexpected injuries, and determine who gets the big push to the top of the promotion: you're the boss in 5-Star Match!
