When can we order league packs?

[WarrenDB]

So this little game seems to have really taken off at the office, and there's talk of starting a league, but there's enough interest that we're going to need extra hardware. Of course, I didn't foresee this happening during the campaign, so I didn't order a league pack (also didn't realize it would be absolutely necessary for an 8 team league with the upgrades). If it takes too long, I was debating making an online Kaosball League Manager just to handle who has what upgrades and what's available, so we don't have to worry about upgrades going missing at someone's desk, but I suppose that would require some kind of approval from CMON? Would anybody else find something like that useful? And if so, maybe let me know what kind of features you would like in such a product.

Also, has anybody come up with a good house rule power for GangstaZ since his power seems to have been made redundant in the new rule book? (How did *that* get missed in play testing?)

This would be very fun thing to have. I think a League Manager would make a good online app but even better mobile app.

Feature Requests: (some will be very obvious, but as I do software development for a living I will state them anyway)
-Define number of players and associate them with a team
-Define the number of upgrade packs available (following recommended distribution with the ability to add extra) (ban certain upgrades)
-Manage Players
-Manage Team (Teams banned, handicaps for certain teams*)
-Manage a Players Selected Team (add bought upgrades, highlight activated one, show current ringers)
-View awards
-Manage Schedule
-View schedule on a calendar.

I think that is all for now. I may come back with some more later.

As for Gangsta Z the only house rule I would say for him is to allow the other runners also attempt a steal if they are adjacent to the target. It would be a good way to make your opponent spend all of his energy cards.

I've actually been working on a small program for my local group and was planning on fixing it up as a mobile app (again for local group) that would let someone manage the players and teams. I was also planning on implementing an easier system for picking the upgrades and ringers for the draft. I have a working prototype to either let you pick teams or distribute them randomly, but so far only have that in it and only a jar file.

I stayed up late last night working on the concept, I have the framework for setting up public or private leagues (choose which expansions and ringers you have), inviting players, selecting teams for seasons, banned ringers/teams/upgrades per season, games, achievements, and a few other things. Just need to work on the scheduler, managing teams, the upgrade tracker, and viewing records, as well as a bunch of interface design. Of course, thanks to the Pareto principal, this is much further from being done than it appears.

I had always read his power as "After one of your figures sprints each of your runners (including Gangsta Z) can attempt to steal the ball".

I assume I did not read his power correctly?

Yeah, I think that may be how we end up interpreting it. It seems like a fairly balanced interpretation.
