About

The violent and thrilling world of Dreadball as played by a group of friends in the East of England.  Featuring our own teams, league and backstories this blog chronicles the games, teams and stories of the Western and Eastern Spiral Arm Premier Divisons, the prestigious 'Champions Bowl' and the Interstellar Dreadball Association Cup competition.

Dreadball is a game by Mantic Games that is a mix of bastketball and NFL/rugby all set in a science fiction future of a mix race setting.  It's fast paced and pretty simple to pick up.  The core box you can buy includes some teams and the necessary rules but there are also plenty of expansion books, teams, star players and more to boost your sessions.  We've started out pretty basic and we've been expanding since then.

The two leages are where most of our teams are playing and currently we are using the 'Kick Off' starter rules for these league matches.

The 'IDAC' Cup Competition and Exhibition Matches (one offs not part of the league) are where we are playing the more expansive rules featuring the refbot and cards found in the 'Extra Time' Expansion. Nowadays, Dreadball seems to ship with these included so you probably won't have the 'step up' like we did.  The different rules are a nice change of pace but eventually when we get to Season 2 of our league, we'll incorporate the Extra Time rules permanently to the league.

While we have collected some star plays, we have not as yet used them, that'll be something to add in later on.  For we have plenty of activity with the WSAPD and ESAPD leagues to keep us occupied.

Our league is rotational so each attending player plays whatever teams fixtures are up that week. This keeps things varied as everybody will get a chance to experience the different teams.  The IDAC cup is where our plucky players will have to stick with whatever team they pick and try to lead them to final glory and that coveted IDAC Cup.
