Pretty much all of teh above...apart from Handball. Strange, strange game.
There's a Hockey version of that other FF game around somewhere that Neoliminal did, and Lacrosse shouldn't be too much different from what I've seen. Dodgeball would be SILLY but fun. Love that film. |

I voted roller hockey then realized that I was thinking roller derby. 
Ice hockey would then become my number one choice after roller derby.

Yeah, there needs to be a really cool and violent Roller Derby game. All grrl minis & sport that is growing in popularity is a recipe for success...or at least breaking even. 
The idea of a female Deadwood whipping a deadling jammer between the legs of a female ogre is cool!

Roller & Ice Hockey along with Dodge Ball!
Roller Derby is a perfect idea!
I can't vote cause the poll only allows one choice.

Awesome! Where can I find a copy of your Dodgeball rules Dark_Lord?
And excuse my Australain Ignorance, but what is Roller Derby 
How about an existing game moving to impact? NBN maybe?

guys, Impact! has very high aspirations of doing a variety of additional fantasy sports in the forseeable future.. sadly, we do not have a bottomless pot of money..
some of the above sports are definitely in the pipeline, plus we have a couple of other sports in mind which are not listed above..

I don't think they're hosted anywhere but if anyone wants a copy, send me your email address in PM and I'll send you the PDF file.
Oh and Roller Derby is an underground sport with women on roller skates. There's two packs of girls and they score points by having one girl (the Jammer) pass players on the opposite team.
They There are a couple different variations. The most common is flat track, but there is also banked track races. It used to be sort of like wrestling in that it was over the top and mostly staged. Nowadays, it's for real and the girls get knocked around, just not as wildly as they did in fake era.
I have been to a couple and it's pretty fun! Wikipedia knows all about it too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_derby
Shadowforge started work on one but afaik it's in development hell.
(one thing that I noticed about this board that bugs me is that the inside of the track has the number of squares as the outside, just smaller. So unless there is movement rules to compensate, running on the inside wouldn't get you an advantage...it would possibly be slower than the outside.)
I think female fantasy races dressed out in spiky punk fashions and beating each other silly would be awesome!

What an awesome find Eric! I had no clue that Shadowforge had something of that nature in the works. It would be one hell of a lot of fun!

It's been a long time without any news. Sadly, I don't think it's gonna see the light of day.

Well, that sucks.
On a side note, I finally got my first Impact team today (was sent via someone else) and am trying to work out how to make Piggie Dodge Ball players :) |

Back in the fake era it, Roller Derby, was played by both men and women (not against each other). People just liked the female version because...it was women.
Sadly, I don't think the Shadowforge version will ever see the light of day. They keep saying they're working on it, but it's been several years since we've seen the pics DL posted with no new news.
