Quedan cinco días para que finalice el Kickstarter de Mantic Games. Se han desbloqueado mas recompensas y novedades para este juego que esta pegando muy fuerte. Nuevos MVP, una nueva raza los Asterians y las animadoras vienen de camino.
Además se han desbloqueado mas extras para añadir al kickstarter como las cajas de Mantic, mas packs de hexágonos para customizar nuestro tablero y mucha más cosas.
Estoy realmente emocionado por la cantidad de razas que se están desbloqueando y espero que en la recta final de este Kickstarter salgan más cosas ya que queda aún mucho por salir.
UPDATE 54
Your hard work and effort so far has allowed us to do so much with DreadBall, and we’ve already started work on fulfilling our promises.
Sculptor James has sent us a load of images of the Number 88 MVP – and we couldn’t wait to show them off!!
Don’t forget you can read up on Number 88 on the DreadBall website!
We’ve also received a couple of question about some of our extras, so we’ve rounded them up and put together this mini-FAQ:
1) Season 2 Buy One Get One Free Keepers – can I choose two of the same model or do I have to have both?
You may choose two of the same type or one of each.
2) Can you do Acrylic Strike Hexes in different colours without the team logos on?
We will open up the unbranded DreadBall Pitch Upgrade Pack to include 6 more colours – let us know in the comments which you prefer!
Alternatively you can $5 to your Acrylic Pitch and we’ll upgrade the coloured segments (Strike Zones, Sin Bins and Subs Benches) to a colour of your choice.
Let us know which extra colours you'd want for the DreadBall Pitch Upgrade in the comments.
Finally here is some amazing Fan Art that has been posted up on our Facebook page - thanks to Stephane Rabattu for submitting it!

We love this kind of stuff, thanks Stephane!
Thanks for supporting DreadBall on Kickstarter and, now than we are entering our final week, please keep helping us spread the good word!
UPDATE 55
Alright! That’s three new Forge Father sculpts and a prone marker locked in - great work!
Alternate sculpts add more variety to your Forge Father team whilst the prone marker is a fun and characterful piece that helps denote a knocked over model:

To continue the Forge Father theme, we’re now hunting down this hulking MVP – Yurik “Painmaster” Yurikson:
$400,000 – Yurik “Painmaster” Yurikson, Forge Father Guard MVP
Yurik Yurikson is notoriously difficult to interview. He doesn't like to talk about how he got into DreadBall, or how he found himself slumming it as a Free Agent for almost a decade before rejoining the Midgard Delvers, or how he once took down three opposing guards with a single Slam. In fact, all Yurik wants to talk about is how much he hates “Brickbat” Vognar, long-serving guard with the Manglers...
This would be another amazing milestone number achieved and we’ll be able to fund Yurik “Painmaster” Yurikson – a Forge Father Guard MVP. Often described as the “Iron Ancestor of the DreadBall pitch,” Yurik suits up in full DreadBall armour in anticipation of a chance encounter with “Brickbat” Vognar.
If we hit this goal, we’ll be able to sculpt Yurik and include him in Jack and Striker!, rounding out our 8 Season 2 MVPs!
As we enter this final week - let's get him in!
What do you think?
Heath has produced this great piece of concept art for the Denton Dazzlers Cheerleaders as a possible future stretch goal!
Much like the action on the pitch, DreadBall Cheerleading is a physical sport in its own right and, if Catalina Luvan’s right hook on Goblin Stunner Kruela Dancov is anything to go by, it can be just as bloody. For the most part, DreadBall Cheerleading Troupes belong to individual Stadiums rather than specific teams (though some wealthy Corporation owners employ their own as well) and gone are the days of the Pom-Pom – Cheerleaders instead wear energized Flexire skirts and carry sophisticated ‘shields’ that shimmer with trails of bright colours, team logos, point-scoring explosions and half time advertising. They also make great protection when the crowd starts getting rowdy and begin throwing things…
Jake already has the in-game mechanic for the cheerleaders nailed on and these models will be used in game, so let us know what you think!
PS: There are now only 145 pre-Christmas shipping guaranteed Striker! packages left so if your mates or club members are thinking about getting in on the game, now is the time to get them to do it!
UPDATE 56
Amazing stuff - Yurik "Painmaster" Yurikson has been locked in!
An incredible 4 weeks have passed and we’re into the home stretch – there are just 6 days left to go until the end of the DreadBall Kickstarter!
So far you’ve enabled us create 4 new teams, 14 MVPs as well as the Season Two expansion. This expansion book (which will be available as a printed copy) will be released next year with the miniatures to ensure thorough playtesting and balance. It’ll build on top of the DreadBall Rulebook, adding in the stats for the new teams and all of the new MVPs, as well as the rules for the in-game effects of both the Cheerleaders andCoach models.
With a week to go, we’re to mix it up with plenty of new stuff as well as the conclusion to Season 1 and 2 – and we've still got lots of BIG things to come!
So here we go - something new for you!
$425,000 – Asterian Team
Jack Concept Art for Art Direction - let us know what you think!
Even before Man began its space age, there had been reports of mysterious beings and fey creatures appearing to a few individuals. Once dismissed as legend, dedicated research has finally proved the existence of the advanced alien race known as the Asterians.
Asterians are naturally inquisitive, and whilst the Corporation spin builds a mythology based on murder and abduction, there are those who leave the safety of their other-plane homes simply to sate their thirst for knowledge. It was these Asterian adventurers (or mercenaries as the Corporation documents them) that first discovered DreadBall for their race, and the allure of glory and physical challenge the game presented was simply too enticing to ignore.
If we hit this goal we will be able to fund the Asterian Team, an alien team with both male and female players.
We will include two figures into Striker! and make the team available as part of our Buy One Team Free Get One Team Free (remember you can mix and match teams – you can have two of the same or two different ones!)
$440,000 – Mellisandra - Asterian MVP
Mellisandra Concept Art - which options would you use?
Mellisandra was once the mercenary chief of the Diabolic Sevens, an Asterian rapid attack force. With her specialized military training and hand-to-hand combat expertize, turning to the pitches of the Galaxy’s Greatest Sport was an easy choice for this glory-hunter.
If we hit this goal we will be able to fund Mellisandra, an Asterian MVP. We will include her in Striker! and make her available as an individual add-on!
There you go guys – have at it! We’re going to be introducing an update to our main page soon to make constructing your pledge super easy so make sure you look out for that!
PS: Did we mention there is just 6 days to go and less than 100 Striker packages left? Best be quick!
UPDATE 57
Wow – what a day! We’re charging towards that Asterian team!
First up, because of its sizzling popularity we’ve re-allocated some of the stock from theJack level to Striker! meaning there are now a few more available that will ship before Christmas. We’ve also capped the number of pre-Christmas shipping Keepers in anticipation of running out of stock. In short, we’ve not much left that can be guaranteed this side of the big day!
We’ve also had a bit of a play around with the main page today. Firstly, we know that there are loads of Add-ons available – from new teams and MVPs to Paint Sets and Accessories, so we’ve put this handy little guide together to help out:
Not only that, but we’ve tidied up a lot of the graphics as well as clarified some of the deals. We’ve also added some of the extras you guys were asking us for, including:
- Rulebooks! You can now get a printed copy of DreadBall Season 2 as well as an additional copy of the DreadBall rules – and even get it signed by Ronnie and Jake!
- White Cases – the trusty Mantic Carry Case popped up in our video the other day and you asked us to put them up as an add-on. We’ve constructed a buy one get one free deal on the boxes, which are lined with foam. They’ll hold up to around 20 models each - more than enough space for your team!
- we've put up new MDF Upgrade Packs for your pitch and 6 additional colors for theDreadBall Pitch Upgrade pack, including a clear acrylic set for all of you thinking about lighting up your pitch! Don’t forget that if you’ve pledged for a Co-Prosperity Park Arena Premium Pitch you can add on $5 and get your choice of coloured acrylic inserts.
In addition, the number of bases on a sprue have been bumped to 24 rather than 22.
Finally, we’ve also been in touch with the guys at Golem Painting Studio and cried on their shoulders until they would paint us some more sets. Eventually they agreed and there are now three new Team Colours Unlimited sets available! Because of the unprecedented amount of miniatures in Striker (definitely more than we anticipated!), we’ve had to increase the value a bit to cover all of the extra stuff - there's now that much stuff in it!
If you want to get the entire Striker! package painted by Golem, nab them before they’re gone!
Have at it guys - onwards to the Asterians!
UPDATE 58
Well would you believe it – with 5 days still to go, the Asterian Team are in!
That’s now 2 Asterian players added to Striker! and the team is now available to pick-up as part of Buy One Get One Free!
Right then, let's get this fortune hunter locked down...
$440,000 – Mellisandra, Asterian MVP
Mellisandra Concept Art - we're hearing current boots and shoulder pad, alternate glove and chest plate, and then head with half shaven hair. That sounds great to us!
Mellisandra was once the mercenary chief of the Diabolic Sevens, an Asterian rapid attack force. With her specialized military training and hand-to-hand combat expertize, turning to the pitches of the Galaxy’s Greatest Sport to seek her fortune was an easy choice for this glory-hunter.
If we hit this goal we will be able to fund Mellisandra, an Asterian MVP. We will include her in Striker! and make her available as an individual add-on!
Mellisandra might be one-hard nosed lady, but the sport needs it's glamorous side too:
$460,000 – The Denton Dazzlers, Cheerleader Troupe
Much like the action on the pitch, DreadBall Cheerleading is a physical sport in its own right and, if Catalina Luvan’s right hook on Goblin Stunner Kruela Dancov is anything to go by, it can be just as bloody. For the most part, DreadBall Cheerleading Troupes belong to individual Stadiums rather than specific teams (though some wealthy Corporation owners employ their own as well) and gone are the days of the Pom-Pom – Cheerleaders instead wear energized Flexire skirts and carry sophisticated ‘shields’ that shimmer with trails of bright colours, team logos, point-scoring explosions and half time advertising. They also make great protection when the crowd starts getting rowdy and begin throwing things…
The Denton Dazzlers are one of the Galaxy’s most famous Cheerleading troupes and if you help us pass this goal, we’ll be able to fund sculpts for them. Cheerleaders will have a physical in-game effect just like the Coaches, as Jake explains in his initial brief:
Everyone loves cheerleaders, and DreadBall fans are no exception. Whether they are human, alien or robot, cheerleaders are part of the DreadBall experience, helping to wind up the fans into a fever pitch of excitement.
Currently their rules are still being playtested, but it looks like they’ll work something like this.
Coaches will be able to buy one or more cheerleaders as part of their team. At the start of each game the cheerleader models are placed on the scoring track, one model per space, starting at 1. During the game, whenever the team scores you move the tracking marker as normal. If it lands on a space containing a cheerleader then she/he/it rouses the crowd to even greater enthusiasm and you make an immediate Fan Check (on top of any you got from the Strike itself). The cheerleader model is removed from the scoring track and placed next to the team’s subs bench. Other Coaching Staff may be able to reposition the Cheerleaders during the match to make the most out of their skills.
A Fan Check, in case you didn’t know, is one of the ways the cards are used. This is a test to see how much support the fans give the team, and counts towards generating extra Coaching Dice.
These rules will be playtested and tweaked ahead of the Season 2 launch next year, but the ability to generate extra coaching dice - essentially free one-use only dice - is invaluable. If we hit the goal, we'll be able to sculpt the Troupe and make them available as a pack of four models for $15 - that's two figures for free!
And there we are guys, another stretch bites the dust! Let's get that MVP - still plenty more to come!
