[quote=Kargan3033 803749 11315767 null][quote=Solitaire88 803749 11315703 null]I've run a couple of leagues in the past. They've always been super popular and everyone's had a great time. The answer to your question (why play BB on tabletop when there's a video game) is, I think: 1) it's nice to play in person, as a social event. It really does make a big difference. You can get drunk together, too. 2) video games tend to feel a bit... weightless? The characters aren't painted by you, there's no customization, and you aren't as connected to them. You can always scrap the game and start again, or replace your players, or whatever. When you're playing on the tabletop, BB feels more connected and each roll of the dice feels more important. 3) There's more scope for crazy narratives to emerge on tabletop. Like, sure you fumbled a throw, but maybe Stompy McStomperson is famous for doing it, or whatever. Those kinds of narratives tend to emerge over a tabletop league, like when my mate's treeman killed my lineman Fabio, RIP. We never forgave him for that. 4) The banter is just better, and faster. If you get everything you need from the video game, that's cool. You do you. I personally find the tabletop more immersive for BB and after playing the video game a bit, I only play on tabletop now. Just feels more fun.[/quote] Well said, I have played a few table top games in my day and I have to agree that table top games are much more enjoyable but with the Vid going around how does that affect table top play in a public/gaming shop? Also I would like to know if there were/are option for female teams as well as mixed guys and gals teams or a guys vs gals game?[/quote]
