Total number of fans (you own plus your opponent's).

Gate is the number of fans who have shown up for the game to support your team.

It generally means you haven't read the rulebook.

It had more significance in LRB4 when it made a difference to both teams earnings. Now it's just a fluff stat really.

Nah, the person who gets more gate, gets FAME + 1. If you have more than twice your opponent, you get FAME + 2.

It is calculated (2d6 + Fan Factor) * 1000.

Posted by Espionage on 2014-08-05 13:42:43

nah Wreckage, that calculation is listed under spectators in the match report. Gate is the total of both teams spectators.

These guys know where the rulebook is.

A nice cool one with the pics and fluff in it.

Might actually have been removed in CRP. As Espionage said, it's an LRB4 leftover.

There is no GATE in the rulebook so it is not a bad question and what Wreckage is referencing is on page 18 of the LRB 6.0 under "The Fans". The gate is the sum of the fans that showed up for the day!

It's that thing missing from the fence in my backyard that I'm too busy playing Blood Bowl to replace.

There was a Did You Know...? in the 3rd ed. rules that was something like:

THE BIGGEST GATE at a match was the Vynheim Valkyries VS the Asgard Frost Giants. It was 712 feet high and 278 feet across... THE BIGGEST NUMBER OF FANS AT A GAME was... blah blah blah
