Got a great idea and/or proposal for BloodBowl?

Nope, here it is, just about the closest 3x board you could do in hexes, I bet. 15 squares wide, and 13 squares to score a TD from the LOS.

One slight anomaly is that you can line up in the center front square, and an opponent can still get three guys to your right on the LOS, not in you TZ, and not in the wide zone.

Kick offs are done by rolling dice. High roll chooses to receive or kick. If he chooses to kick, 2nd highest makes the choice, then the third. The kicker with the highest roll sets up first, and will kick the ball to the receiver. The kicker with the lowest roll then sets up, but is not considered to be the kicking or receiving team (although any KO results which affects both the kicker and receiver affects him similarly-- Throw A Rock affects the lowest roll). Finally, the receiver sets up last and takes the first turn as normal.

A block is only between players on the teams of the blocker and the target; and TZs from the third team are ignored. Fouls are similar. All TZs count for dodging. Any team member can intercept.

I still think it might be a good idea to narrow the center of the fields to 5 squares wide, and play 9 players per team.

Another anomaly is that your 15 front squares always face 16 opponent squares.

And I'm still not sold on the kick off sequence...I wonder if the receiving team won't just get pasted by both other teams. Maybe it would make sense to have a single team kicking off to both receiving teams, and divide the attention between two balls. The kick skill can only apply to one kick unless you have two guys with it.

Why not have it like Deathbowl (4way BB) and have the balls in the middle and the teams have to line up near their own goals and make a dash for the balls. Of course theirs a big scrum in the center with everyone fighting over the balls, but that's part of the fun. :wink:

or go old skool and bust out the astrogranite.... there were 2nd ed rules for 3/4 player games which could probably be adapted to suit your purpose...

Where were those located? I never played 2nd Ed, but I have a few of the books.
