Re: DreadBall - The Futuristic Sports Game
Top notch
Jonathan. Jonathan, Jonathan
what size are the hexes gonna print.
I did space and they were barely 1" so the hexes would bunch up or overlap
If it is,
How much should I scale it to
110%, 120%, 125%

The hexes are 25mm wide in photoshop and the downloadable versions are at 100% versions of those files. I guess it depends how you print it but the hexes should be 25mm.

Re: DreadBall - The Futuristic Sports Game
yes the board hexes are 25mm, and the base hexes are 25mm.
creates a problem of spacing as few models do not exceed their base
I printed out space1 in full size (even measured the hexes)
they are too small for practical play (yes tried it) (for example bloodbowl squares are larger than 25mm (I think they are 29 or 30mm)
hence my question
yes the original RollerBall

Re: DreadBall - The Futuristic Sports Game
There are two films that any and all FF players should watch: "Rollerball" and "Salute of the Jugger". If you haven't seen them you really need to do so as soon as possible.

Re: DreadBall - The Futuristic Sports Game
Somewhat difficult to put together a complete cheat sheet for a game the rules are yet released. However, I've been using this sheet to help me demo Dreadball to people.

Re: DreadBall - The Futuristic Sports Game
A little project I've been working on, wanted to show it off:

Built it with 35mm hextes instead of the standard 25. Total mat size is 34"x18".

Re: DreadBall - The Futuristic Sports Game
Looks good Khail.
I have updated my first space pitch incorporating elements from the speedball arena

And here are two background variants


And one with your favourite neighbourhood space station

I have also made a quick youtube video to show the scale of my 25mm pitches when printed out:

Re: DreadBall - The Futuristic Sports Game
Just filled in my questionnaire, looking forward to the Judwan team and MVP, plus Wyn MVP and some casualties arriving. Didn't find the questionnaire too arduous as I only had to repeat Tab 0 for most of it.
