What to Bring
• Painted team with suitable models.
• Skill rings, coloured rubber bands, or another appropriate way to identify skills/positions
• Block dice
• D6s, d8, d12/16/20
• 3 copies of your team roster including skill purchases and inducements
Special Tournament Rules:
• All games will use the “Graveyard Weather Table” from the Death Zone Supplement.
• Games will have a maximum length of 2 hours 15 minutes. If you are unable to finish within the given time frame, the referee may stop the game prematurely. A referee’s decision is final in all cases.
• HORATIO THE UNDEAD CHICKEN - If the weather is rolled as being “nice”, Horatio escapes the coup and has decided to take the field. He is a particularly vicious rooster which will peck the life out of anything! Place him on the Trap Door spot of the receiver’s end of the field before they set up. If - at the beginning of your turn but before any player actions - your opponent is in possession of the ball, you must direct Horatio by moving him as per the ball and chain rule. He must be moved the entire extent of his MA score with no “go for it” rolls allowed. If neither team is in possession of the ball when a turn marker gets moved, Horatio is happy to just peck at the ground and not move. He will not assist blocks, but is counted as an opponent in all cases where an agility roll needs to be made, including dodges. In addition, he is small enough that he is treated as a prone player for purposes of jumping.
HORATIO MA3/ST1/AG3+/PA-/AV6+ Ball&Chain, Dodge, Stunty, Stab, No Hands, Regeneration
• If a prayer to Nuffle result is required, roll instead on the following table with a d8:
1. Reposition the chicken token to start somewhere other than the trap door.
2. Give Horatio “The Right Stuff and Swoop” skills - he is now able to be thrown by any player of strength 3 or more that you designate for that turn.
3. Add or subtract 1 from each of the Ball and Chain d6 movement rolls for a turn.
4. If Horatio is in the KO box, you can swap Horatio with any reserve player.
5. Horatio may move to any empty, adjacent square after a pass or handoff action is declared but before any dice are rolled. This movement is free and no dodge is necessary.
6. You may automatically break armour with a stab, but you must subtract 3 from the causality table.
7. If your opponent hits Horatio, but doesn’t get him off the pitch, Horatio may make a free stab.
8. After Horatio has finished his normal activation, you may make attempt to hypnogaze against an adjacent player.
