I think those videos are really important! I think most of the oversea people (and many of the Americans) don't really know what Roller derby is. Therefore I think it would be important to back it up with some more info and those reports on the teams. I really enjoyed watching them and I think that this is a good way to get people into the game. "Though cookies" > really great name  Edit: with your permission I'm going to post the videos in the spanish bb forum.

Tom
Went with the $30 right now, however the dice may sway me.  What sealed it really was Tom Vassal's review and the comparison to Formula De. Basically its a racing game. Like him I had NO CLUE what Roller Derby was, I mean, I've heard of it, but never knew the rules. After his video, I "get it". I'm sure I'll enjoy it. _________________ FUMBBL Coach name: tchatter Ex-Commish of REBBL  #193

Drew Barrymore's directorial debut Whip It, a Derby Based teenage coming of age film starring Ellen Page is also worth a watch.

on the Kickstarter if you could get some mens leagues to pony up 5000USD you could have Impact sculpt 5 Rollerdudes.

Tom had a great day yesterday at Origins Game Fair. He demoed the game for Wil Wheaton and he liked it! He has a friend on the LA Derby Dolls.
Second, if the kickstarter hits $35k we will make a full male team and can make custom male action cards. But, we need some help.

Awesome write-up for Impact City Roller Derby on Reddit ... if you could help us out by stopping up and giving the article of a Reddit thumbs up ... you could REALLY help us get more exposure to derby fans to learn about the KickStarter to fund the game. http://www.reddit.com/r/rollerderby/com ... s_funding/_________________ Impact! - Fantasy Football miniatures and supplies designed by gamers for gamers
