Re: [BOYL15 GAME] DEATHRACE 40,000 ROUNDUP
Alright chaps, there's a lot of us relatively committed to this game but now it's the 1st of July it's time to get down to biz.
What I need from you guys is this: a photo of your ride(s) to make the custom turn card for each player, and for you to give me that pic well before I leave for the UK around the 25th. This means you have around 20 days left to finish your models and give me a photo that i can print, laminate and cut out to bring with me.
As far as preparations go I'm in the final stages of making the improved ruleset, there have been a lot of changes necessary due to the massive interest this game has gotten, above and beyond what i had dreamed. This is both awesome and terrifying in equal measure!
For the day I don't require much, just for each of you to bring your ride, some crew on foot (optional but highly recommended), a thin black marker and a red whiteboard marker. I really need each of you to have your own pens for the day.
I will be providing custom laminated playsheets for the day that you can fill in your team, player and vehicle names on. It will also be used to track your points and damage. You dont need to have detailed knowledge of the rules but if you could make a note of your vehicle equipment before the day it will speed up the game a lot at the start.
I also need a nice pile of bloodbowl dice as these have supplanted the encounter system i was using before (thanks to Archaeopteryx for the input). We dont need tonnes but it'd be helpful to have a few sets
The last requirement is a sense of silly fun and the burning need for speed, which is essential for any event containing this many ludicrously overpowered vehicles - the road awaits you Deathracers, let's hope it doesnt rise to meet you too hard!
There is one more thing - I'd really really appreciate it if someone could help us out with the last piece of the track puzzle - Fimm and Erny are working on half the track but we'd ideally like to extend it to 12 x 4. To do so will likely require a 6 x 4 mat or heavy cloth with the rest of the circuit painted on - a nice big figure 8 for maximum carnage as detailed in my very concise MS paint diagram:
If any of you good kind peeps can help, I'd be willing to pay for the materials etc, and of course if you have a better idea for it I'm all ears
Also if anyone wants to help make a few ramp jumps or contribute humerous additions to the track then let me know - the less stuff i need to ship from Oz the better
We can make this the greatest race held in this or any other universe if we work together
start your engines!
