Mistakes, I’ve made a few…

Posted on by

Reading the rules for Techno Bowl revealed that I made a few errors when attempting to run the play as shown in the previous post.

There were more than a few die modifiers that I missed.

#77 should have tackled #7, not block him, as he chased him down field.

There’s some movement adjustments that were missed.

But at least I got the passing thing down!

I’ll try an actual game soon.

Stay tuned!

Techno Bowl: First Play Impresssions

Posted on by

I watched this video, skimmed the rules, and tried to play a set of downs this morning.

It plays VERY much like Blood Bowl, with a few rules changed or added.  And it’s a lot of fun, even solo.  The cards make solo play feasible.

This was the field of play when I setup the game last night:

And this is how it looked this morning, when I had to leave for work:

Yes, this is a custom playmat field that I picked up for my team.

On the left side, Bighorns #6 was knocked down by Reapers #41 in the endzone,  but before he did, he managed to complete a pass to Bighorns #7, on the right side of the field, who is being chased down by Reapers #77.

OMAHA!

I think I should just orient all the players so the numbers face me, like a video game.

My initial impression of this game is that I like it.

I’ll finish off this playthrough when I get home from work.

Stay tuned!
