Bloody Bay: Customized Blood Bowl on forums. Ready to start!
« on: October 22, 2017, 08:21:21 pm »

IC Thread link

Welcome to Bloody Bay! For those of you who do not know, Blood Bowl is a blood sport which is sort of like american football with orcs and murder and stuff.

For the most part, this game will be using the rules dictated on this web page. Knowing how to play beforehand is not strictly required, and the GM will provide tutorial explanations to players who are less familiar with the rules when appropriate.

There will also be a few house rules that differ from the official rules. The biggest one is: You're not playing as one of the pre-defined races. Instead, you get to make your own! (See the spoiler below). The signup sheet will state some general guidelines, but exceptions may be made for any part of it with the GM's permission. Fill it out however you like and the GM will take care of balancing. Note that the teams will not be perfectly balanced. If there is any imbalance it will probably be within the spirit of the game, but the GM will catch the most flagrant offences.

There are also a few other rules which will be added as necessary. The GM reserves the right to modify any rule as the GM sees fit at any time. If a GM decision contradicts a rule in the rulebook which was not previously addressed, then the rulebook may or may not take precedence for the first occurence.

Note: If you have any ideas that do not appear to be covered elsewhere, bring that to the GM's attention.

Isn't a 25 hour time limit between turns and posts kind of... harsh? I mean, people had trouble keeping up with a 72 hour time limit in Dryad Rage; I'm not sure if making an even tighter time limit is a good idea.

The 25 hour limit is during your own turn. A single turn would last over the span of several posts (Provided there isn't an unfortunate case of double skulls or something). The idea is that you would declare the movement of several players in a single post, ideally factoring in the use of IF statements. I feel that a timer like this is necessary to prevent a single turn from taking several weeks.

Let me know if you think you need more time.

That can work. I suppose I can take care of images if I must. Most of your players will be Stunty players with 2 strength, but that appears to be your intention. When I get around to tweaking your team, it will appear on the second post and I'll discuss team creation.

Please go and look a the rough draft for your team template on the second post. Now is the time to negotiate any changes you would like to have made.

Yes, YES. I've been thinking of doing this for like, a whole year.

I will likely be making a team some time today.

I'll admit I'm interested, but I'm afraid I won't be able to supply a pixel image. Reason: lack of le art skill.

So I've got my idea mostly made, but one question. Can we make custom wizard spells for our team, or even just re-fluff our wizard spells?

Also, is it okay if I:
A. make a team based n something that exists in a fictional work.
B. Use pre-existing images if they are the proper size.
