I will be going to this

[Buggrit]

Colour me interested if I still have a job by then!!

[PeteW]

Looks fun, but sadly I will be using my "winter" games quota on the Flamebowl. Sorry!

You will find that block dice are very very expensive to print.

The place we use charges 32p per side for an order of 100 dice. Thus a special D6 costs 32p, but a block dice costs £1.92, and would be £5.76 for a set of three!

Anyway, the company is:

Good luck with your tourney.

[SillySod]

If I were the NAF I would also be reluctant to sanction something called "Dobby Bowl"

Cool rules though!

[Hawk]

I could be tempted to this... We could even book that nice hotel again Burt haha

[Glowworm]

dont get the "Dobby" thing (Im being thick) do you all get the player rolled?? If so who supplies the model or do we all have to bring 1 of each...?? If thats the case Im out, dont want to bring team worth of additional models!!

Apart from that, seems OK

[shaniepoo]

Depending what time off i can get depends if i go to this or Ironmanj.

So as a stunz team i get 10 skills and 2 stat increaces?!?

Block dice are expensive and take time to do but are a great gift.

[Buggrit]

Glow, I'd have thought one mini different from the team you're using to represent your Dobby would be sufficient.
And from my understanding after reading the rules everybodies Dobby takes on the same form for each round (different form each round too)

[PeteW]

I agree with Buggrit. The Dobbys look amusing.

The number of skills, lack of skill repetition cap and double stacking will create some nasty teams, esp from tier 3.

Anyone want to face a claw POMB minotaur plus 3 more POMB marauders?

[Glowworm]

Glow, I'd have thought one mini different from the team you're using to represent your Dobby would be sufficient.
And from my understanding after reading the rules everybodies Dobby takes on the same form for each round (different form each round too)

So that mini is a gutter runner in one round and a Krox in the next?

So everyone gets a halfling with loner (or whatever) that they HAVE to field if possible. Doesnt appeal to me Im afraid, TBH Wiltrshire to Mansfield at that time of year is going to be hit or miss anyway so Ill pass now, i do however wish you every success, its a great feeling running your own tourney.

[Don__Vito]

This is the most insane ruleset. I eagerly await to hear what the NAF thinks about sanctioning it!

[Dobby]

All of the dobby minis will be provided by myself, also all dobby's morph into the same player sorry to hear your not interested glowworm and apreciate your input and yes I do hope for some crazy teams

[acerimmer]

count me in mate, if u need a habd painting the minis let us know
