Blood Bowl Sevens league @WOW ??

[jollyork]

UPDATE: I'm gonna move the first League Night to June 22, and will likely adjust the other dates slightly to accommodate summer travel plans. Any other feedback on dates or rules before we finalize the details?

Still in.

The new starting date works better for me, so thanks. And I'm going to need some rulings on the Death Zone Sevens rules at some point, but I'm fine with anything as far as league rules go.

The league will use all 7s rules as-is from Death Zone. If your Snotlings end up being a candy store of SPPs, then you will be be a very popular matchup. 🙂

Well, before I fully commit myself to this insanity, let me check in with you about a few rulings:

1) Does Swarming still work as written, 1d3 players, or would that number be reduced?

2) Do re-rolls add their base cost to your Team Value (like they do in standard Blood Bowl, regardless of whether they were bought at base cost or double cost), or do they add double their base cost to your Team Value (which is the only price they can actually be bought in Sevens)?

3) The Sevens Inducement list gives the option of either classic Mercenaries or Death Zone Mercenaries, at the league manager's discretion. Which are we using?

[jollyork]

1) As written, d3

2) Double cost

3) Classic mercenaries

Thanks, I think I can work with that

I thought the modern 7s rules does not give SPP anymore? So no CAS SPP, no TD SPP. ( page 96 )

At the end of each game you pick a player and give then a random primary skill ( or randomly pick a player ad give them a random secondary skill )

Before this you roll to see if any of your advanced players leave your team for the the big leagues.

I think @jollyork meant to say LPs there, not SPPs; the first draft League rules he proposed gives bonus League Points for causing casualties that would normally have given you SPPs. It sounds like the skill gains will definitely be by the book (possibly with an additional "skill drafting" mechanic added on as well).

For @kb10r it is SPPs, however he still won't be able to spend them on Skills.

I want all the points.

So who all is in so far? What teams are you all thinking? 

I know dwarves aren't great at sevens give the lack of mid line but I just got some great dwarf models from Greebo that I want to use them. 

Also have a necro team that I've been itching to finish.
