Guild Ball Kickstarter

Guildball, an alternate fantasy football game in the vein of Blood Bowl (but with slightly less fantasy), has a kickstarter going on now.  It ends March 22nd, and the buy in is at 57 pounds ($95).

The miniatures are beautiful and highly detailed:
What has me most excited is the resolution system, though.  You roll for your action, and get the ability to choose among varying special actions depending on the number of successes you get.  They call it the "playbook," and it works as follows:
This is a character stat card.  See the dots in the middle of the card?  That indicates the "playbook" options for the class.  Each dot is one success.  Notice on 3, you have multiple options for special effects, depending on what you're particularly looking for with that action.  This "playbook" is particularly straight forward.  Imagine how much more complicated they could possibly get.
