A universal timer for match reports
Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2014 6:06 pm
I was wondering if perhaps it would be a good idea to discuss an universal timer for match reports.
What if we were to convert the turns into some sort of minutes? A game would last for 128 minutes (4 mins x 16 turns x 2 players) For example, Turn 1 of the first half by the receiving team would be time between 0 - 4 minutes in the game.
Or would it be better to absorb the time for both player's turns into one value - say from 0 - 8 mins?
When I first got into Warhammer Fantasy the battle reports in White Dwarf really drew me into the game. I think well written match reports on Blood Bowl games would have the same potential. And in terms of laymen (i.e. non-BB gamers or non-gamers) reading the reports using time might make more sense than stating the turn.
Just thinking out loud...
