Doom Bowl

Post by Calthor »

Lately, this idea has been bugging me so much, I need to do something with it, otherwise I'll slowly be growing insane.

You all know the fluff of Blood Bowl is about more than just the game itself; just like the world of soccer is more than just soccer.
I feel, however, that the aspect of managing the team as a coach is an aspect of the game currently left mostly ignored - and that is quite understandable. I have been intrigued however, by the possibilities outside the game as well.

So, here is my idea, and I would like to know if there's any interest. If there is enough, I'll start up this league as an on-line league played on the MBBL tool - perhaps in some sort of Beta version.
The league would be about more than just the game. I am still thinking how I'd approach this practically, but this is what you should be thinking about:
*The practical problems of having a minotaur in the team
*Travelling between regions
*Finding new players to join the team
*Dealing with an arrogant star player
*Sabotaging other teams
*Taking care of the morale of the team
And much more...

I'd locate this in a seperate world, not the Warhammer World, as I'll also want to mess with the teams extremely... (Yeah, I know: this might scare some of you off. But I can't ignore the potential of some of the ideas I have...)

Anyway, I'll be looking for anything in between 6-16 teams to start this up... Please all, let me know if you're interested.

I'd like to see what you do these ideas. How long do you think it will be before something is up and running?

As I'll be having a rough time ahead, with switching to a new home and the like, I'm guessing... About a month from now. With not all the ideas implemented yet; I'd be adding as we'd go along.
Only thing I need is enough enthusiasm to start. Perhaps five of you and I'll get started.

Ideas are emerging more and more, time on my hands is unfortunately not yet available.

However, I'm heading towards a calmer period of time, so when you check back once in a while... It's only a matter of time.
