Friday Night Legends

Posted on by

I’m surprised I didn’t post about this game until now.

Friday Night Legends, a *high school* football game.  The game comes with a sampling of Texas high school teams, since the game creators are from Texas.

It doesn’t have individual players, and just 6 plays on offense and 6 plays on defense.

It took me the better part of two and a half weeks to get though one game, but it’s a fun one.  I made a few mistakes as one does when trying out a new game.

I randomly picked 2 teams that came with the base game: Sealy 1978 and Kerrville Tivy 2010.

It wasn’t until I looked for graphics for these two teams and saw the significance of them.

Sealy Tigers 1978:


Some running back named Eric Dickerson.

Tivy 2010:


A quarterback named Johnny Manziel

And the results of the game I played reflects these two players.

Sealy Tigers 37
Tivy Antlers 10

Seally scored 5 rushing touchdowns (plus one FG and one missed XP) to Tivy’s 1 passing TD.

Did Dickerson score them all?  Maybe.  And Johnny Football probably threw that one TD pass.

I didn’t take very good stats, to be honest, But I’ll try to next time I play this game.

Though I should try the college counterpart to this game as well.

Stay tuned!

GFL 2020 Season

Posted on by

Final Standings:

The top two teams from last season finished at the top again this season.  However, a playoff round was added with the 2nd place teams.

This year’s East expansion team would meet last year’s East expansion team.

The Porgs edged out the expansion Blurrgs based on point differential in the West.

Playoff round:

As expected, the top two teams met again in the championship game.

Championship:

The Tauntauns avenged last season’s loss to the Dewbacks, claiming the newly named Skywalker Trophy for the 2020 season.

GFL 2019 – Week 1

Posted on by

It begins!

I ran through the first week of games, not sure if I’ll continue to post in this format, or just do the whole season in one fell swoop (or two).

The defending champion Denver Tauntauns appear to have picked up where they left off last season.  Yikes.

Nice to see an expansion team take down the East Division champs, though.

More to come as time permits.

Stay tuned!

SFBAL -> SFBABL

Posted on by

Because ‘Ess Eff Babble’ sounds better.

The San Francisco Bay Area League is now the San Francisco Bay Area Baseball League.

Because I may create the SFBAFL later, with Pen & Paper Football.  Who knows.

Anyways, the slate of games for the rest of ‘SFBABL Week 2’, played on April 23rd, 2018:

Santa Rosa Herons vs. Santa Cruz Slugs @ the Santa Cruz Beach-Boardwalk
San Jose Piranha vs. San Rafael Porgs @ Skywalker Ranch
Concord Jazz vs. Bay City Armadillos @ PepsiCo Park
Napa Vinters vs. Vallejo Commodores @ Sutter Health Park

I’m finally adapting the new rules from Deadball II into my game play, which will mostly affect… most of the game.  Heh.

Hopefully I’ll get to these games this week.

Stay tuned!

Dice Tower Venues

Posted on by

The creative part of me wants to build another dice tower, specifically for basketball and hockey table top games.

I’ve made two of these, both specific purpose-built, for baseball and football.

The new one would represent an indoor arena, presumably for basketball and hockey.

I rarely use the football one.

I don’t even play either basketball or hockey on the table top, yet.

But I still want to make another one.

And possibly one for motorsports.

Arrgh.
