Feudball or Dead Bowl?
In all seriousness there is no contest between those two, cause Matt Forebeck´s series is quite bad. Or, maybe if you are quite young and want some random fantasy to read but othervise it is a waste of time. The Feudball series on the other hand is quite satisfying. I did read the first book a few years ago and just started book nr 2 in the serie and it goes in the same veins and I can truly recommend it..... But....

Are there more books or storys online that are readable? I have googled but maybe I lack some skills in the subject and perhaps there are some fantasy football fanzines still floating around.

Anyone?

No good ones I'm afraid.

The only things out there along the lines of fantasy football are the films -

"The Blood of Heroes" (also released as "The Salute of the Jugger")
or Roller Ball

Then computer games you have Speed ball 2.

Books and comics on this subject are all pretty bad

Yeah, salute of the Jugger featuring Rutger Hauer is a great movie, so is Rollerball (the original, not the remake) and i have tried speedball but it was not my cup of tea :/

Strange that noone (except Feudball) has gone into the area of blood bowl, but I guess GW has something to do with it since u have to rename everything and it is a pretty hard job writing a book about a subject without naming it at all :/

I didn't mind the MF books. Ok the plots were pretty poor, but the characters were worth investing time into....you cared what happened to them. Then again, I'll read any old high fantasy trash.

I recently bought the newest Speed Ball game. It's ok, not fantastic but a lot better than it's critics would lead you to believe. The one thing it has that previous SB games doesn't have is options.

I was toying with the idea of starting a SB League on here. I even put together all the material.

hehe sounds cool, except for me not enjoying the game. Or, I think it was okay, but not "blood bowl worthy" ;)

But, if u enjoy the MF books, you probobly will love the Feudball books. The last one is "only" downloadable as pdf through amazon but the first book is a regular book which I prefere as Im quite oldschool :)

I have to admit that I liked Matt Forebeck books. The Blood Bowl Universe is compared to the Warhammer Fantasy Universe a twisted but funny variant and should not be taken seriously at all. IMHO Matts books fit the trash talk and game style very well.

There was a comic too, called "Killer contract". Never Read it, dont know if it is a good one.

I highly recommend the Galactic Football League series. Aliens instead of fantasy creatures, and the on field deaths are more rare and dramatic, but I enjoyed it more than any of the "fantasy football" books/comics/stories.

Hmm, have to check those out! And once again, if u like Matt Forbeck, you will love Feud Ball!
