There are many variations of Blood Bowl played in the Old World,
but possibly the strangest is Dungeonbowl. Deep beneath the surface,
two teams of highly skilled psychopaths stalk around a dungeon
in order to settle an argument that has kept wizards at loggerheads
for years. For many decades spellcasters have disputed
which of their magical colleges is the most powerful.
Dungeonbowl is their attempt to settle the matter without involving
the general population – who usually come off rather badly
when wizards have a disagreement.
Anyway, a few wizards got tired of all-night arguments about
which college was the most powerful, and being keen Blood Bowl
fans, suggested that each college should set up a team and settle the
matter amicably on the Blood Bowl field. Of course, being wizards
they couldn’t just play Blood Bowl normally, that would be far to
mundane, no, they decided to play the game in a magically constructed
underground labyrinth.
To make things even more interesting (and because this is a dungeon
after all) the ball is hidden in one of six treasure chests – the
other five chests being booby-trapped with a (usually) non-lethal
explosive spell! The first team to find the ball and get it to the
opposing team’s End Zone wins the match. Last, but by no means
least, to allow more freedom of movement in the dungeon, half a
dozen ‘teleporter pads’ are scattered about, which allow players to
magically ‘zap’ from one place to another – the fact that the players
occasionally got lost in the warp just adds to the fun!
At present no one in CLAWs is playing Dungeon Bowl, but hopefully
with the upsurge in Blood Bowl interest this might change...
