Arena of Blood Gladiatorial Rules

Some of my old veterans in the line up

The preorder pdf copy of Arena of Blood popped into my inbox this afternoon and very good it looks too. It's very well presented and organised, as you'd expect from Jaye Wiley, and at only twenty five pages or so is just the right side of concise to be printable without blowing a fortune in colour ink. The mechanics are based around the usual card deck system of Fistful of Lead but with added attributes for each type of gladiator. There's even a campaign system, so plenty of bang for your buck. I quite fancy giving this a spin as a solo gaming excursion, as I already have the figures and some terrain. Excellent!
