Our league attempted to play DeathBowl last night, it was a last minute sort of thing and as such we just made up the rules as we went along. Because of this we made it incredibly hard to score and the game ended 0-0-0-0! At 3 points there could have been touchdowns but due to each teams setup you needed to complete an absurd amount of dodge and sprint roles to score.
Has anyone made rules up for Death Bowl under the current rules edition? If so I'd love to see them. Also if anyone knows where the 4th Ed Death Bowl rules are from one of the Compendiums I'd like to see them too.
Also, I want to go about making a 'proper' board. Can anyone give me the measurements in squares as to how long and wide the pitch is when made up with 2 old second edition boards? (double size center and 4 end zones) Failing that I can work with just the measurements of the 2nd edition board and work out the rest.
One rule we did really like was the 'team assists' rule. Basically if I wanted to block a player on another team it would have been a 1 dice block as usual (assuming both players are of equal strength) and then another player from a 3rd team was in both our tackle zones then the player from the 3rd team could choose who he wanted to assist. Makes for some very interesting allies I can tell you
Anyhow, if anyone can help I'd appericiate it.
