Fantasy or Football?

[Sushé Wakka]

I was wondering, which of the two components do you think should have more weight when developing new teams, stadium rules, etc..? Do you think the approach should be more on the "fantasy" part or in the "football" part?
A "fantasy" approach could give us more unique position players and teams; however, we risk to end with a "Fantasy Battles with a ball" game, so Blood Bowl would lost its "feeling".
On the other hand, a heavily "football" approach could make Blood Bowl stand apart of its bigger brother (WFB); but the teams may lose that "special" players which gives each team its "gimmick", and so teams would end looking all the same.

PD: I made a search about this before posting, but it didn't help. If there ever was this kind of poll, I'd like to know where to find it.

I say it depends.

If you want a new type of chaos team then you should be looking at way to make it wild and crazy but if you are designing some completely new race then a Football should be your priority.

I'd say Fantasy is more desirable, but game balance would trump both of these.

i'd have to go with fantasy, the football will come as you adapt your team to its particluar style.
