Years and years ago I created a fighting dice game called Maximum Impact. I released that game officially a few years back with black and white artwork from GFP's Werner Mueck. The initial set of 24 was fairly well received and I quickly made a 16 card sequel. Unfortunately due to outside issues I never got much further with the game. I did release a few free sets on the Freakshow Games Reloaded site (which you can still download), but that was about it. Over the years literally hundreds of fighters were made for the game (a game I described to the curious-minded as Street Fighter with dice), and I still have the stats to those hundreds of fighters. Each fighter in the Maximum Impact universe had a tag line that briefly described the character in just a few words (similar to Chikara).
Why do I mention all this you may ask?
Go ahead and ask....I'll wait.
Seriously though I feel the characters of that game lend themselves perfectly to GFP. So I figure why not convert them to this system and present them to you here. Not sure if I will get through the hundreds of them, but I will tackle the ones I have released and were planning on releasing and going from there. As it stands I did already convert the original 24 back when I was a regular here as I put them in my excel helper I was working on.
Stay tuned for the Maximum Impact Universe (MIU for short).

So what exactly are the XP and CH parts on the bottom there?

Ha! I was waiting for someone to ask, sort of left them as an easter egg of sorts. Its my own house rules.
XP is sort of an experience rating I have been tinkering with as another way to boost one fighter over another. Each level of XP would give you one free reroll to use during the fight to either reroll one of your dice or force your opponent to reroll his. You can use this to give the Flairs and other savvy veterans a bit of a boost. Or as a means of tracking as certain fighters gain a bunch of experience throughout their careers, sort of a level up.
Ch is just to mark who the champion is, I am going to be taking it off the cards and put it on the gameboard of the game in the future. There is a house rule I have been toying with to give the champion an advantage but have to mess around with it a bit more.

I like the name Blood Tiger. Blackheart needs the BLACKHEART PUNCH.

She's more about finesse, now when I get to my GWF Universe stuff, Stan Coldheart DOES use the Coldheart Punch

Incidentally the Maximum Impacts are snipped from my excel dice rolling game. I cleaned up the format a bit but here is a shot of what the full board looks like when I play. I have it featuring some of my old ICOF conversions.
I changed the font of the moves to Comic Sans to capture more of the comic book flavor.

I'm interested in the Excel board/die roller. Is it available somewhere?

I will get it cleaned up a bit first. Honestly haven't been working on this much since I have decided to do a comeback with the ICOF and real cards. The look has changed a bit and I will post a couple screen captures this weekend hopefully.

Hello,
I know these posts are 3+ years old but in case Kgrroth and anyone else has GFP/Maximum Impact, I would be interested in the Excel Dice Rolling Game and any/all GFP versions of the Maximum Impact cards. I own the game - bought it well over a decade ago - love it!
