Thryth Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of any good, free rules for use with football miniatures made by Hasselfree and the like? I would probably never play, but am interesting in looking into the game. - Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illustrange Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 isnt bloodbowl a free download nowadays ? then there's also elfball : http://www.impactminiatures.com/index.php?option=elfball and heresy also has deathball rules on the site (tough Im no big fan of random team generation.) I used to work on a set of generic fantasy sport rules (focusing on teamplay and ballpossesion rules instead of specific sport-rule-transitions), but its both on temporarily hold and it was more focused to the sports beyond football hope it helps ? edit: deathball rules link : http://www.heresyminiatures.com/deathball/deathballrules_v1_6.pdf bloodbowl rules link : http://www.specialist-games.com/bloodbowl/rulebook.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thryth Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hi, Thanks for the quick reply! Illustrange: Thanks for the links. I didn't realize that the BB rules were now free. Elfball looks interesting. You generic sports rules sounds like a serious undertaking. Good luck with it. Eastern Front Studios: Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't heard of that before. I will keep a look-out for it. - Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eastern Front Studios Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Thryth, no problem if you like I can snap some pics for you..its really sorta all based on big super enhanced humans ..I havent played it but the figured alone were really nice and could be easily rebased for humans in BloodBowl or some other game.

No thank you. I have a one-year-old, so I am sure that I will run across it in some toy store now that I know to look for it. - Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauth81 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 The grandfather of all Fantasy Football games, BloodBowl by GW is available as a free download from GW/Specialist Games: http://www.specialist-games.com/bloodbowl/rulebook.asp (Legally you must own a box of the game to use this free rulebook, but ... yada yada yada) You still need the proper dice, a board and esp. the pass range ruler, but there are shops who sell them seperately (tritex games in the UK) or you can make them yourself. There´s a table for the range ruler somewhere on the net (I might have it, but have to look for it). You can play BB online for free at http://fumbbl.com. It´s a java client software that allows you to play against other players over the net. It doesn´t use the newest ruleset, because the client software has to be rewritten for that and the last major rulechange happened last August. The skill level there is very high. I would recommend to play a few games on the "real" board first to get a feel for the game and the tactics. It can be a very frustrating experience for a newbie player at fumbbl. Heresy has same free "Deathball" rules, but I don´t know them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
