Title: Rollerball
Post by: joshuaslater on March 02, 2007, 10:24:18 AM
I was just watching this classic last night when I started wondering if anyone made a "Bloodbowl on skates" miniatures game.  If not, someone really needs to do this.

there is also RazorBall being done by shadowforge (I think) they been working on it for some time . Who knows if it ever gets done but they did do a Rollar ring for it. theirs an image of it floating on the net.

bit of triva:
The stunt men working on the film made real rules for the game.
So when they were training for the movie they were  playing Rollarball.

Someone did, kinda. i saw a demo at a con once, being shown to Thom. Looked pretty good. IIRC, it was set in the future, and tou raced around a track. You had a team of hackers who could do things like change the gravity under opponents, or drop things onto the track like trash bins, etc. was fast paced, could battle (to a point) with opponents, etc. If i find anything on it, i'll let you know.

I have the rules from the guy who developed them and am trying to make them compatible with Warzone. I also sent them to at least one person on the East Coast. If you can't get them PM and I'll shoot them to you
