Hello!

I recently got my hands on a 1st edition deluxe set. Is this still viable to play or is there a cost effective way to upgrade it to 2nd edition?

Thank you!

2e Ultimate Dreadball Event Cards

Hi

I've not been able to get my hands on the ultimate cards, despite the core box coming with a UDB pitch. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on them (or scans of them at the very least)?

Abilities list?

Hi

I purchased the magnetar circuit book recently and am enjoying the updated teams and arenas but I forget a lot of ability actions and in the magnetar circuit I can't find anywhere that tells me what all the abilities do. Does anyone know I could find an ability list/action explanation online?

I have the starter set and was looking on the team sheets and saw on the back advancement tables. What exactly are these and how do I use them?

What to buy after starter box set?

I have the 2nd edition set and have had great fun playing it but now I want to expand my collection and teams and learn how to build my own team and run a league. What should I buy or where should I go to get this stuff hopefully to run my own league by myself.

Looking To Play Online

Looking to get back into Dreadball after a bit of time off. I found Vassal and Tabletop Simulator mods for Dreadball but I was wondering if anyone had a Discord server for getting a match scheduled?

Any info you have would be great, I appreciate it!

Question about Team Booster Packs

Hello together,

can anyone tell me if it's sufficient to buy a booster pack only for usage as a new team?

Just for single games, no league stuff.

Any answer would be appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance. :)

Viable solo?

My friend keeps rescheduling on me so I have yet to play dreadball. I bought the game and have read over the rules so am thinking of just playing on my own. Are there any rule changes you guys would make to play it solo.

Is this game worth getting for just me and my friend?

Just asking your opinions on repeatability and if I should instead choose something like blood bowl

Forgot what a great game this is.

Played a game this week and had so much fun. I have not played in about 7 or 8 years and saw a friend I used to play with at the local game store and we decided to get a game in. So glad we did. I forgot how clean and intuitive the rules are and how well it plays. We will definitely be playing again soon. I encourage everyone who hasn't played in awhile to do you best to link up with your old buds, or new buds, and get a game in.

What makes blood bowl more popular?

I am tempted to purchase the second edition starter set as I want an American football style tabletop game and sci fi style appeals much more than blood bowls fantasy setting. But why is blood bowl the more popular game? Is it gameplay models price?

Starting Out

Hi all, I was at a gaming con today and picked up some 2nd hand minis, what was described as a human team, an orc team, a ref, some balls and some tokens. Just wanted the consensus on what else I should be targetting to get myself started with Dreadball? Thanks in advance.

Mars Attacks team.

Got a box of these new and sealed. Can't find any on ebay or anywhere else so presuming they're pretty rare. What sort of valuation do people think they might have? Tia

Looking to sell.

Would anyone here be interested in a 1st edition dreadball lot? Comes with a deluxe carrying case, two base games, dreadball extreme, neoprene mat, acrylic pieces, about 10 teams and 10-20 MVP's.

Can update with the actual details and pictures later if there's any interest. Located in Canada but will ship to the US .

Do people still play dreadball? I'm looking to get into mantic games in general and dreadball seemed like a good place based on price.

Help! Building Rotatek Rockslides

Hi all, arrived late to the party, hoping to play 1st edition, have picked up some stuff from ebay. I noticed that teams have a mini bag with models that can be customised. Does it matter which head style I choose, e.g. for the Rotatek Rockslides?

Is Dreadball still a thing? Or did it get replaced by Overdrive?

I remember playing a game or two a few years back and I'm curious about playing it again. Is this still a thing?

Help with edition question!

I got Dreadball core game a while back with the soft mini rulebook but are looking to expand, however Id rather not order from Mantic directly due to our import fees.

This store sells quite a few Dreadball items but I cant figure out whats new and what is for the old edition, are you able to see quickly by item code number ranges?
