DreadBall Nameless Team (Beta) Stats
The Nameless really do have a name, but for the purposes of this Beta we’ll not fret over that just yet. Let’s focus on the gameplay. The team has a couple of signature features. The first is very good...

DreadBall Teraton Team (Beta) Stats
Teratons are big and tough and have the disconcerting ability to teleport away from trouble. In some games this will come up a lot; in others it will hardly feature. In all games their ability to smush...

New Tab
In case you hadn’t noticed I’ve added a DB Season 3 Beta tab to the black menu bar (↑up there↑) so you can find the latest version of the rules easily. As we go along I expect to need a v2 or v3 of...

A Barrel Of Monkeys
Typically, the Zees are failing to comply to my orderly plans. You’d think they were a disorganised bunch of naughty monkeys or something. Wait a second… One of the playtesters came up with some...

DreadBall Asterian Team (Beta) Stats
They’ve got pointy ears and they can’t be trusted even slightly. That’s about the normal Corporation citizen’s understanding of the aliens known as Asterians. True to form, the DGB do not disappoint,...

DreadBall Zee Team (Beta) Stats
Funnily enough, balancing the Zees is a bit like keeping order at a chimps’ tea party. At least, I imagine it is. I’ve never had that dubious pleasure. They’re an odd lot, but it’s probably best to...

Zee Beta v2
After some discussion on the original thread and another game myself last night, I’ve made a few small changes to the Zees. Much of this is slight wording changes and clarifications for specific...

Apologies
Been a bit absent of late, due mainly to looming deadlines. I have, however, been reading all the comments on the DB teams and have made some tweaks accordingly. The feedback has been very useful and I...

DreadBall – New Rules For Launching The Ball
These rules are coming out in Season 3, but as I said earlier this week I’d post up a set for you to read in advance. Here they are as a pdf. I’m afraid you’ll have to do without the fancy diagram for...

Launching Notes
Well that seems to have caused quite a stir! I’m disappointed that a lot of the comments on yesterday’s post about the new rules for launching the ball are rather negative. Rather than say the same...

A Final Change
It’s amazing how excitable people can become over a single roll of the dice. In response to the many comments about the new ball launch rules I’ve talked to Mantic and they’ve kindly agreed to delay...

DreadBall – Threatening & Gotcha!
Since the DB3 rules have come out on pdf there has been discussion over whether there is a mistake in the Threatening rules on page 31. I’ve spent some time trying to get to the bottom of this and...

The Future Of DreadBall
We spent some hours yesterday talking about the next steps for DreadBall and I managed to sneak a quick photo of Ronnie’s explanation of his vision. I don’t want you to get too excited yet, but I...

Frantic At Mantic
Rhymes, eh? Where would advertising be without them? Seriously though, I was at Mantic yesterday where it was all hands to the pumps packing shiny DB3 boxes for despatch all over the world. Stacks and...
