Off season news:

Due to lack of support/funds, The New York Empire is relocating to Buffalo.

Two expansion teams announced:

• Sacramento Banthas, Western Division
• New Jersey Dewbacks, Eastern Division

Stay tuned!

In the championship game, the Denver Tauntauns defeated the St. Louis Smugglers 45-0.

Congratulations, Denver Tauntauns, 2018 Galactic Football League Champions!

Now I need to go through the off season stuff, and possibly expand the league.  Maybe a team in California and somewhere else?

Stay tuned!

Played through three bye weeks before going to work this morning, current standings:

7 weeks of games left in the season, let’s see if the Empire and Porgs can turn things around, before it’s too late.

*spoiler: I think it’s too late for the Empire.

Stay tuned!

Browsing the Delphi Table Top Sports forums is always a dangerous thing to do.  More times than not I find a new game to try, based on the experiences of the people in the forums.

Today, the game that I discovered is Pen & Paper Football, which is found on DriveThruRPG.com, of all places.

Price: $1.99, PDF format.  All you need besides pen/pencil and paper are a few d6s, a d10, and a d20.

You can play it in league mode (quick play, solitaire) or head-to-head play, which is more involved.

You create the teams using a few die rolls, which gives you basic stats.  In between seasons you can try to expand your fanbase, so there’s a bit of team management involved, including expanding into other markets, signing new talent, and avoiding moving your team or even shutting it all down.  You can even expand the league itself.

League play involves 8 die rolls per game, each representing how many points a team scores in a quarter, modified by the offensive and defensive of the two teams.

Head-to-head play is play-by-play, I haven’t gone over the rules for that mode yet.

I started a 6-team league, and played the first 5 weeks of the season.

The current standings for the inaugural Galactic Football League:

The Tauntauns appear to be the team to beat, but the Porgs and Smugglers are right behind them in the overall league standings.

So far, I like this game.  It plays quick; you can probably knock off a season in a couple of hours.  I’ll try to finish this up tomorrow evening.

Stay tuned!  GO PORGS!
