Over the Line - Continental Champions Cup (Fictional Tournament Pack)

What This Is

A fictional take on European club rugby for Over the Line players. 24 clubs across six made-up rugby nations. Four pools of six. Top four to a knockout round of 16. No real-world season to replay - build your own continental story from a fictional first season.

The Field

Five heavyweights at the top: Dunmar Dragons (Hibernia, 7/8/8), Bordeauville Cobras (Gallia, 8/7/7), Toulemont (Gallia, 7/8/7), Hawkmoor Saints (Albion, 6/8/7) and Northbridge Lions (Albion, 7/7/7). Dunmar are favourites for the whole tournament.

Below the top tier: seven knockout contenders, seven mid-pack disruptors, five pool outsiders. Crownley Knights (8/5/6) are the highest-variance team in the field. Veneto Falcons (5/6/8) get carried by an elite kicker. Riverdon Rangers (5/4/4) are last-minute qualifiers and out of their depth.

What's New

Layered on the standard Over the Line phase system:

  • Match Day Conditions (1d20) - rain, wind, frozen pitch, hostile crowd, sold-out cathedral
  • Travel Fatigue Rule - cross-continental fixtures cost the visitor for a half
  • Pool Stage Drama Table (1d10) - between-rounds events with one-match effects
  • Knockout Pressure Flavour - read-aloud commentary for KO matches
  • Campaign rules - Champion's Price, End of Dynasty, Stat Cap. Built so dynasties end naturally and no team stacks +1 bonuses into invincibility
