I'd play 54mm Arena Rex in a heartbeat. There's also a kickstarter for a 54mm scale MOBA-board game which isthe same idea - a fixed board means no terrain worries and scale/LOS isnt a big deal, etc.

muggins posted:Yeah I know BB is a sacred cow, I just never got into roll a one and lose your turn. I understand push your luck etc, but much preferred guild ball or even dreadball for a rugby game. They are very very different. Guildball is basically just a tactical skirmish game, that happens to have a ball in it. BB is a board game like chess or checkers, except the pieces actively hate you and punish you for hubris. I hated it too when I thought it was basically random, but it's a much deeper game of resource and risk management than I initially gave it credit for.

Shadin posted:My wife just asked me if there was a treant team in Blood Bowl and if so she wanted one so she could name it Bitter Harvest. I think it's time to take her through the introductory rules this weekend, she obviously understands the heart of the game. Sounds like she wants to play Goth Halflings.

Eschers are basically already roller derby girls minus wheels.

Anyone have any early ideas for good starting Goliath crew loadouts? I'm not concerned with like, best of the best level stuff but before I start gluing poo poo I want to know my setups are at least passable. ONe champ has to get the rivet cannon, and one ganger will get the grenade launcher. Juves will probably go double pistols? Is the leader better off with two melee weapons or hammer/pistol? I'm a little overwhelmed.

Pre-measuring for lyfe. The argument of "but then everyone measures all the time and it slows the game down" is almost never a practical reality - except in Infinity, where everyone is on overwatch all the time and so pre-measuring really WOULD slow the game to a crawl, which is why its the only game really designed for and correctly not allowing pre-measure.
