Bottom Table Big Guys

[Magic Dave]

This was something we looked at for the CC (but for not very long), A Big Guy that roamed on the bottom tables and was just a fun element to the games. He had a stat line abit like Thrud, where he would swap side's and just cause chaos, but hopefully was fun to game with.

I know other tourneys have done this and was wondering how it went down and what people would think it this player turning up at the bottom tables.

Also what about other idea's for games at the bottom, could house rules for kickoff tables ( No real ideas at the mo), and other things like a squig ball be OK if used only on the bottom table.

Your thoughts please.

Put 'em in as a list of "if agreed upon" options?

GeordieBowl used this last year. We had a wandering Biffa Bacon, who could be controlled by both players every turn. He had no hands, couldn't assist anything, and could only take foul and stab actions.

Didn't have a single complaint, in fact, people on the bottom tables loved his randomness! He was in the rulespack so I assume everyone was ready to play with him if they needed too.

We designed him to be FUN, and not game breaking. Made sure he couldn't be used for a key play (No hands), and couldn't change things for one coach (Both get to use him).

We have another unique bottom table roamer this year, details in the rules pack that should be up by the end of the week again.

I could post/PM the full rules for him if you're interested.

Yes if you could, I know we talked about him at Tritex's event and I was thinking that a big Carrot now seamed lame compared to Biffa. I think a guest ball could be the Answer.

I think a guest ball could be the Answer.

Using a throwing carrot instead of a ball would be pretty cool.

"Ow, not in the eye! - if a player fails to catch a pass then they are immediately stunned as the carrot hits them in the eye... pointy end first."

PM me your e-mail address Dave and I'll send you his rules document.

I was trying to think of a way to get a Carrot into the game and silly you might just have it.
