Weav Posted November 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Who wants dungeons? Here are the first two dungeons for New Year’s Blitz! Round three’s dungeon will be posted shortly. Please note: there are no doors. All open spaces that touch are open and adjacent to each other. The obstacles printed on the center tile and all other tiles are live, a player may only be in a visible square, never on an obstacle. Update: the four players that begin the game in the corresponding center tile ‘end zone’ not their own end zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weav Posted December 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 First twelve spots are sold out. I am working to locate additional Dungeon Bowl and Blitz Bowl sets to accommodate more players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted December 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 I've located another Dungeon Bowl and Blitz Bowl set so we can now accommodate 14 players. Two extra spots have opened and are available in the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitch_Dragon Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Hey @Weav I have a few questions about the format. (Some of the questions are edge cases, hopefully I don't come off as an ***.) 1. "Game length: 1.5 hours, players play until the time limit has been reached" Do we play as many turns as we can in the hour and a half time limit? 2. Is there established etiquette for how long someone can take a turn? (example: max 4 minutes) 3. Let's say I get bashed down to one or two players (or even zero players), what's to stop my opponent from scoring 19 TDs because I only need a few seconds for my turns? Can I twiddle my thumbs for two or three minutes even though my two remaining players are stunned and all I have to do is pass the turn? 4. On map one, it looks like there's a wall between the right corridor and the right side of the Blitz Bowl pitch. Meanwhile, the left side of the pitch, closest to the red end zone has the chaos altar next to it. It looks like there's some overlap on some of the tiles and the barest hint of a wall between the pitch and room. Are the squares in the chaos altar divided by a wall or adjacent to the squares on the blitz bow pitch? 5. Also, how do we work out the overlapped squares by the red end zone? Despite my questions, this looks like it'll be an awesome format. I'm looking forward to throwing some dice in January. Thanks for organizing it and thanks for your time! -Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted December 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Great questions, thanks for asking them @Pitch_Dragon Quote 1. "Game length: 1.5 hours, players play until the time limit has been reached" Do we play as many turns as we can in the hour and a half time limit? Yes 2. Is there established etiquette for how long someone can take a turn? (example: max 4 minutes) Yes, basically the same as it is now for Sevens. We expect people to play about 3-4 min turns 3. Let's say I get bashed down to one or two players (or even zero players), what's to stop my opponent from scoring 19 TDs because I only need a few seconds for my turns? Can I twiddle my thumbs for two or three minutes even though my two remaining players are stunned and all I have to do is pass the turn? Fantastic question that I have not considered yet. I am glad you asked it. Let me chew on that. 4. On map one, it looks like there's a wall between the right corridor and the right side of the Blitz Bowl pitch. Meanwhile, the left side of the pitch, closest to the red end zone has the chaos altar next to it. It looks like there's some overlap on some of the tiles and the barest hint of a wall between the pitch and room. Are the squares in the chaos altar divided by a wall or adjacent to the squares on the blitz bow pitch? I noticed that too after I posted. That side is open much like the opposite side of the Blitz Bowl room. We will need to use our imagination a little to accommodate the center field because the squares are not 100% the same size. 5. Also, how do we work out the overlapped squares by the red end zone? The same as your question in item four; there is no overlap, it's just the way the tiles landed. Treat them as separate squares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weav Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 @Pitch_Dragon, @kb10r brought up a good point on Discord tonight about your third question: Quote Let's asay I get bashed down to one or two players (or even zero players), what's to stop my opponent from scoring 19 TDs because I only need a few seconds for my turns? Can I twiddle my thumbs for two or three minutes even though my two remaining players are stunned and all I have to do is pass theturn? Since there is no benefit to scoring more than 2+ touchdowns, a ran up score or short turns has little to no impact on the game. We will just play to time as normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted December 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 The highly anticipated, and long overdue, third dungeon has been released for New Years blitz! Please note: it should be obvious that you cannot leave the Blitz Bowl end zones and go directly to the Dungeon Bowl end zone, but if not, you cannot. You have to go around.

Weav Posted December 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Coaches, we're a little over two weeks out from New Year's Blitz! We're right at capacity with 16 players, so a great-sized crowd for our first tournament of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted December 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 Coaches, Weav will begin following up with each of you beginning today about collecting your roster for submission before the event.

Weav Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 If we have a late drop and I am unable to find a replacement (I have two interested parties up north, but they aren't traveling down just in case), here is my College of Shadows build for New Year's Blitz (note: I entered two rerolls just to get to 100K, it is just one reroll for game play): BB Roster - Crookback Juniors - Shadow.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
