First edition Death Zone contents and rules?

Post by Gronlokk »

Actually, it's been quite a while since I've logged in and posted anything on these forums, but after diving into DreadBall a little (great game BTW) I've somehow rediscovered my love for everything fantasy football. So I've looked a little around eBay and came across a copy of Blood Bowl first edition. Long story short, I've added it to my copies of second and third edition :)

But somehow I am having trouble finding Death Zone for first edition. Could anybody tell me what contents were included in that expansion? And is there maybe a version of the rules online somewhere? Maybe even with print and play components?

Thanks a ton!

Nothing?
Starting to feel like I broke some kind of unwritten rule: "We don't talk about that game here any more..."

No hardcore first edition fans out there? :)

Hi, looking at my copy it has Team creation rules with positional players and starting skills. Campaign rules (Paying players, long term injuries and dirty tricks etc), rules for on-pitch magic and updates to lots of teams with seven new ones (Goblins, Norse,Werewolves, Slann, Treemen, Nurgle and Albion Wanderers) - But not Skaven, they came out in White Dwarf.

There are also a few star players - Arfie Shortzenegger, Thrud and Galak Starscaper.

Thanks a lot for the replies.
Unfortunately that sounds rather interesting. Now I really need to get hold of a copy :D

I am afraid that is only the base game without the expansion.
Death zone is a little harder to find on eBay, especially because it shares its name with the expansion for 3rd edition. But nevertheless there seem to have been about five copies for sale since October. So I am cautiously optimistic.
