Mantic Games - Dreadball Azure Forest Expansion

Mantic Games presents the Galactic Tours, a new series of expansions for Dreadball:

The Galactic Tour series is a chance to try out some variations on the basic DreadBall theme. Unlike the Season books, which each add another dimension to the sort of DreadBall that gets played in the Core Worlds of the GCPS, this series will focus on how the game is played in a particular place, or by a particular group. These variants are still licensed DreadBall leagues – that is, they still exists within the framework laid out by the DGB – but there are a few new challenges that are great for experienced players who want to try something new. The Azure Forest pack is based around Azure IX, a forest moon on the edge of Corporation space that’s home to a tribe of alien hunters known as the Yndij. When colonists arrived from the GCPS they were keen to stay in touch with their favourite sport, and they set about building their own arenas. Sadly, without the mod cons of the Core, they had to make do with local materials and whatever they brought with them; as a result, these early games were a very low-tech affair. Technology became more readily available over time, but players and fans alike came to realise that they enjoyed this back-to-basics approach. Following a licensing arrangement with the DGB, Azure Forest arenas are now built to a set standard that couldn’t be more different to their counterparts of the Core.
