Anyone have this?

Thinking of picking a one up as a self-Christmas present and one for a mate? Are they at least half-decent?

I wouldn't buy it out of principle. They've ripped off all us who did those icons, without even a word.

Did they really? Wow. I didn't know that! You obviously can't see the images in the pictures provided.

I can, it's wood elfs vs dark elfs. Surprised

:/ I must need glasses.

That does lead to this question: harvestmouse, who did the icons for FUMBBL? I haven't got a clue.

Also, if you look at the Companion set, the one with 1200 extra tokens, it says they include all of the Stunty Leeg teams and stars (though presumably that's out of date now anyway). Everything in Stunty Leeg was created by coaches on FUMBBL.

Spain, the new China (with regards to copyright). Discuss.

Erm, I studied law. If you want me to dust off my comparative intellectual property law essay I can do? It covers the UK, America, Canada, Spain and Germany...

It's riveting reading, honest.

From what I can tell it doesn't have an 8-sided die for scatter. Not listed in contents at any rate.

Not a dealbreaker, you can fake it w/ 2 regular 6-sided dice, but...
:/

excuse my ignorance, but how do you fake it with 2d6?
without a d8 we use to roll a d6, 1-3 it is 1-4 and 4-6 it is 5-8. then roll the d6 again, rerolling 5's and 6's to get the number lol. there is an easier way?

pretty crappy they stole the fumbbl icons. cool idea though. I made one myself from cardboard, paper and blutack. hour work tops. paper icons were nice as you can write skills (or letters depending on size) straight onto it

It is a good product with one flaw. Because they're only two dimensional it makes it so you have to come up with a system to tell if a player is stunned or prone.

I honestly can't buy it if they knicked all the community's hard work without even emailing anyone. That's pretty crappy.

sideways is prone, facing their own endzone is stunned. not the most elegant but it does work

Surely you'd just flip them for stunned and face them one way for prone? I believe there are mini models for it as well.

It is a definite no buy for me for obvious reasons. I'm curious if they include the not for resale stunty handbook as part of the package and/or how they handle those rosters.
