Chris (my apprentice) is currently having a bash at some rules for Morican Deathball, a popular game in the kingdom of Morica, which is ruled by Dark Duke Henry the Red. He enjoys pitting teams of slaves prisoners and gladiators against those of his neighbouring Dark lords and even his favoured lieutenants, all in the name of Baal, the netherlord and patron of that particular kingdom. The teams objectives are to place the heads/inflated organs of sacrifical victims into a stone goal, carved into the mouth of Baal himself, whilst at the same time killing or maiming as many of the opposing Dark Lord's fighters as possible with only bare hands or 'small' weapons such as katars and spiked armour.
It's going to be a very simple 'bash' game revolving around the use of heroquest-style dice (I might get some made, with skulls etc on instead of numbers) and half a dozen players on each side at any one time. Perhaps if it's popular we can do more complicated stuff like campaign rules and experience, in the meantime it's aimed to be a beer game...and yes, there will be more figures coming for it once it's written, i intend to do ones for all the adventurers, for a start, a new boris and especially a new minotaur and troll at some point. maybe even demons...!

This is great news, more minis to use for BB (and who knows, maybe after he gets more of the rules done, this Morican Deathbowl might not be too bad to play itself, we shall see).
