Talk Fantasy Football

EDIT BY GALAK ... to make this easier on Ian and the remaining BBRC members ... I'll edit and collect any catches in this post:

One page format instead of 2 pages per a page. Some of us are old and need to be able to read the thing.

Page 3: (all of these are missing and needed added back)
1) Block Dice and Six Side Dice section included new rules for understanding how to roll a D3 (not included in LRB 1.0)

2) Throw-in Template section was modified to make it clear what the first square is for a throw-in

3) Scatter Template section: LRB 1.0 says the scatter is the only time the D8 is used .. this is no longer true in the new rules as we used the D8 for other things now

Page 5: (missing and needs added back)
1) The Plastic Range Ruler text was dramatically changed on how it works from LRB 1.0.

Page 10:
1) At end of Follow Up Moves should say "A player that is blitzing" not "A players that is blitzing"

Page 11:
Standing Up should have a blank line above it to seperate it from the Injuries paragraph

Page 15:
1) Under Restarting the Match, 3rd paragraph: "see page 25) for this.." (there is a double stop ... should be just one).

Page 20:
1) Handing Off: "hand-off the ball, he may not move the player performing the Hand-off Action any farther that turn," shoud read "hand-off the ball, the player performing the Hand-Off Action may not move any farther that turn,"

Page 26:
1) New Skills: Says "pages 71 to 77." should say "pages 71 to 76."

Page 31:
1) The list of glittering prizes should have 3 items not 2. The 3rd is:
"3) The winning team receives the ‘fringe benefit’ described below on pages 32 to 33, depending on the trophy they won.

Page 69:
Request for clarification:
Could the last sentence of Bribes read:
"Each bribe can be used once per a match but more than one bribe may be used on a single call by the referee."

TEAMS

Halflings:
1) Something wierd happened with the formatting on the list of star players ... Zara is misaligned and there is an extra ), in there.

Skaven:
1) Rat Ogre should be 150k

Norse:
(first off ... drat GW deleted Beorg Bearstruck and the Kislev Bear figure ... this stuff would be easier if figures would stop vanishing)

1) Catcher should be renamed back to Runners. The player no longer has Catch or Diving Catch. GW is free to use the Catcher figures they already have and sell them as Runners ... no figure change is needed. But calling the player a Catcher when he doesn't have Catch is really messy. If he cannot be renamed back to Runners than he needs to be plural and say Catchers (not Catcher)

2) The Werewolf ... I thought this would be easy but all the Werebear figures have been removed from GW's store recently.
After TFF kicking this around the consensus is that if we could rename the figure to Berserkers (which was the original name for the Blitzer) ... then that links in well with the teams past and gives plenty of WFB modeling matches using Chaos Marauders/Warrior figures to match ... or they can use the Necromantic Werewolf if desired as well. So change Werewolf to Berserkers.

3) Blitzer ... needs to be plural and say Blitzers.

WOOD ELF:
1) Star Players are not aligned properly ... Eldril is showing up on the first line with tons of white space.

FAQs on page 77:
1) FAQ on Pass Block should read: "Pass Block only allows you to move up to 3 squares normally and no more even if your MA is less than 3." The text after about Ball & Chain from that sentence should be deleted.

2) FAQ on Pro 4 from bottom of 1st column. Y,es should be Yes

Saving a big one for last:
The Introduction:
The describers "normal, standard and cutthroat" need to go. LRB 1.0 which is what is being referred to here as normal had Dirty Player at +2/+2, Piling On/RSC Chaos Warriors doing +4/+2 and Ogres on Goblin and Halfling teams. LRB 1.0 was the more cutthroat game and it definitely isn't normal. Especially not when the Cyanide game is using LRB's current rules. So if that sentence could read:

Galak's attempt:It says the same exact thing without offer insult to the community (ie cutthroat) or suggesting that there is something openly wrong with using the competition rules (which the words normal and standard implies).

Jural's attempt:

Folks

I've been led to believe that there is scope to fix any minor typos or errors that have crept into the newest version of the rules. If you see anything you think is wrong, misleading or incorrect please can you let me know so I can feed it back to Jervis?

I've already got the comments about Rat Ogre pricing and some of the changes to earlier pages that Galak mentioned.

Thanks

Ian

Norse names: Werewolf / Yhetee can be understood. But there is no reason to change Runner & Beserker to Catcher & Blitzer. The Dark Elf Runner is still called that.
