Wonderful news! In January, I bought back my gladiators after their 7 years exile overseas with another Lanista. At the same time, out came the old copy of Blood on the Sands. Still a fine game!

But, if there are rules to be tested, consider me a willing volunteer. I still have my homemade dice and counters somewhere...

Hope this pans out. The best gladiator game I've ever played.

I'm so flattered that BotS still holds some people's interest.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but I am working on BotS again at the moment. I do feel the rules have aged somewhat and I'm trying to bring them in line with more modern rulesets.

I may ask for playtesters if anyone is interested when I have something worth testing.

Again thanks all.

Wonderful news, I never believed in this. Hope you will release it in 2022.

Good news to me, I spent a lot of time on the gladiator sheets!

Plus its an ace game

Sounds good Frank, put us down for playtesting again please

Muzfish4 · « **Reply #815 on:** 15 February 2022, 08:56:05 AM »

Very happy to playtest when it is ready.

Mt regualr opponent and I both really like the idea of gladiator games but are yet to find one that hits the spot. From what I see on this thread BotS might just be the one.

Loved playing it in its early playtest days and would love to be involved again. It was and still is a terrific game. Glad to see it coming back!

I went back through the thread and hcuckled to myself at the House of Spoon, Bibbles the Floss and Malamuticas Calvus

I can't 100% commit to helping with playtesting right now, but when its ready im willing to help if i can - aa few of us at our local club recently got Sons of Mars, and enjoyed it, but it has a few niggles and sounds like its not being worked on, so if another game can fill its spot...

I'm willing to chuck in my two penny-worth for play testing.
I need a fun/good Gladiatorial game for the School club.

Again, all this support is comforting.

Some great memories there for sure, even for me, and I wasn't even there!

@Frank, my game group is definitely up for playtesting. Some interesting cupro-nickel miniatures came in that need a good bashing.

Any time frame you can give for the playtesting?
