There are many mistakes in this post, and it should never have been published in the first place. Please find the corrections and my apology here. What the hell is Mantic Games up to again? It appears that they are trying to take a page out of Games Workshop’s playbook by launching more limited edition […]
Mantic Games is calling for aspiring fiction writers to submit a synopsis for a DreadBall Xtreme short story… If you get picked, and submit a story, you can win a bit of money. More importantly, you can see your story published in an anthology along the likes of Guy Haley. Have a look! Mantic Games […]
Mantic Games 6th Kickstarter, and the second for DreadBall, ended tonight with a take of US$575,755,-. Well over half a Million dollars. That, clearly, isn’t bad (and still one of the top 100 Kickstarters of all times). Given the over US$ 250,000,- launch day, it was still perhaps below expectations / predictions, and less than […]
Do you like miniature sports games? Do you pay homage to the Kickstarter-gods? If so, it appears that the stars aligned to put fans of miniature sports game in a particularly excruciating dilemma over the coming weekend (and the weeks thereafter).

I am still working hard to get to grips with Season 2 of DreadBall (and the Judwan in particular). Nevertheless, DreadBall Season 3 is fast approaching! Jake Thornton, game designer of DreadBall, recently previewed some of the big miniatures coming to DreadBall this autumn. Today, Mantic sent out an update through the Kickstarter with a […]
The title is quite a mouthful. Still, have a look at the DreadBall Alternate Game Regulator. When I wrote up a post about the possibly of (mainly) Judwan manipulating DreadBall’s ball-launching rules with Misdirect, Mr. Damian Gaunt was kind enough to point me that way. In the DAGR’s own words: Goals and Philosophy Dreadball is a fun, competitive […]
Playing at Mantic’s Open Day DreadBall tournament this weekend reminded me once again of what a fantastic game DreadBall really is. DreadBall is fun, fast, furious and (almost) always exciting up to the very last turn (or “Rush“, as DreadBall calls them). If you haven’t yet, you should definitely give DreadBall a shot. It’s an […]
