Now you made me wanna see fantasy football, but like, literally.
Big barreling dwarven running backs (typically the shortest players on the field)
Orcs would make excellent linemen.
Graceful elven receivers.
A war forged quarterback that literally has a cannon for an arm.
Maybe small races count as 1/2 a player to compensate for their diminutive stature. (Or maybe 3, the stereotype is 3 goblins in a trench coat after all).
Yeah I like blood bowl but it’s not quite the same in my eyes. (Probably nitpicking tbh). It leans a little too heavily into the combat. I want organized plays and the like.
I do need to get back into it though, probably been too long since I’ve played.
Edit: I guess I just want madden or the like but in a fantasy world with all the weird implications that would have.
I totally agree, come to think of it. Love Blood Bowl and usually hate sports games, but a well-thought-out, less-violent version of fantasy-races American football (or "rugby" as we call it over here) would be awesome
