Browsing the Delphi Table Top Sports forums is always a dangerous thing to do.\u00a0 More times than not I find a new game to try, based on the experiences of the people in the forums.<\/p>\n

Today, the game that I discovered is Pen & Paper Football<\/a>, which is found on DriveThruRPG.com<\/a>, of all places.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Price: $1.99, PDF format.\u00a0 All you need besides pen\/pencil and paper are a few d6s, a d10, and a d20.<\/p>\n

You can play it in league mode (quick play, solitaire) or head-to-head play, which is more involved.<\/p>\n

You create the teams using a few die rolls, which gives you basic stats.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 You can even expand the league itself.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Head-to-head play is play-by-play, I haven’t gone over the rules for that mode yet.<\/p>\n

I started a 6-team league, and played the first 5 weeks of the season.<\/p>\n

The current standings for the inaugural Galactic Football League:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Tauntauns appear to be the team to beat, but the Porgs and Smugglers are right behind them in the overall league standings.<\/p>\n

So far, I like this game.\u00a0 It plays quick; you can probably knock off a season in a couple of hours.\u00a0 I’ll try to finish this up tomorrow evening.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!\u00a0 GO PORGS!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
