In my arena which had fortifications between it and the audience, the dwarves just ran away and cancelled eating/drinking when match was going on, so use glass or your spectators will be very terrified

That sounds hilarious. lol
"Hey, Urist, what are we doin' here?"
"We're watchin' the Blood Bowl, that's whut."
"Eh, what?"
"They send in monsters to fight other monsters, and it's really cool. There's 'sposed to be a ball, but oh well. Ach, here they come now. Don't worry about anything - theys unarmed, they cain't hurt us from down there."
"Eh, all right, thanks for lettin' me know."
"Theys gettin' up onto the field now."
"Holy Spikes of Armok! Goblins! Elves! RUN!!!"
(mass stampede of dwarves)

ANYWAY... I finished my field. Here's pics:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dwarf Fortress, Phoebus texture pack - How I thought it looked.

Stonesense - I hate how the seating doesn't look right. And the coloration.

Overseer - shows the whole field and the rooms hanging beneath where the players wait. The stands look even worse here.

Basically, I put the players into cages and pit them inside two separate rooms hanging beneath the field (unfortunately I can't use building destroyers, so no trolls ). A lever is pulled (haven't put that in yet), unlocking two sets of hatch covers at once, and the players climb onto the field and begin attacking each other. It's not really BloodBowl, per se, but it would be if there was a Blood Bowl mod. Right now it's just a really cool gladiator arena. Oh - and anyone who dodges the wrong way falls 23 z-levels. If only you could still play golf with goblins... Sigh.

EDIT: By the way, Jackofthebox - love how yours looks. I wish I'd thought of actual seating.

I've closed the 'fund raising' and donated a total of 90$.    (I will ask Toady to confirm this when I get his 'thank you' mail.)

Everyone are welcome are welcome to add and update additional fields. I'm happy and impressed with the creativity already shown.

Heh, I can't help but feel a little overshadowed.  Nice arenas, guys.   Business with schoolwork has set in and prevented my lava bombs for a time which is likely to be infinite

But once again, nice arenas.

You're not the only one. Good stuff, folks.

askovdk did indeed donate $90.  Thanks to everybody that contributed!  Maybe I should read this thread now, he he he...

Hey - at least you actually got the game played! I got the goblins pitted all right, but then when I tried to start the match, I forgot to take the goblin's weapons away beforehand. I forgot about taking pics and started worrying more about keeping a massacre from happening.  Great Fun, great times. Yours was epic, though - I was hoping for something like that, but it didn't quite happen. Don't feel overshadowed.


Thanks for doing this, askovdk. Due to certain unfortunate circumstances, I can't actually donate anything myself, which is possibly why I latched onto this like I did... Anyway, it was a great idea, and lots of fun of both uppercase and lowercase varieties.
