Norrad Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 So where would you recommend an old Blood Bowl player start in the new edition? I haven’t played in years, mainly the old foam ( Astro- granite) pitch era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Come to Game night and play @Burk or me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burk Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I am willing to give you a learning game to get you back in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Darron, you can also play the video game. It’s a good tool for learning the newest version of the game. Back when you played it was VERY different than it is now. There is also an emulator at FUMBBL.com. In a few Sundays I can meet you at GN if you’re playing Infinity.

Norrad Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Cool, I’m out of town this next week but would love to catch a game or two when I’m back. What sort of learning curve do you reckon from earlier editions to now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 A lot. Basically a different game than second edition (foam pitch). Nearly the same game as third edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I played a few games of third but it’s been a long while since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted August 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 So are the teams basically the same? Human and Ork are your basic teams, jack o trades but master of none. Elves still the passing game, Skaven the running game and Chaos the beat stick, rugby style game? Ive been perusing the GW site and I really like the new teams. Is there any market for the old metal figs? I’d like to get rid of some of those figs for the new stuff. Oooh, shiny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 You got it on teams, but there are more since you played. Norse, Amazons, Chaos Renegades, lots more. There is a little market for metal, mostly Burk and me buy it locally. Bring what you have to GN and we’ll take a look. One problem is GW put out a bunch of Blood Bowl third ed with their Made To Order program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrad Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Which supplements have the different teams? I don’t see any undead (khemri, Necro, vamp), Lizardmen, Woodies, Demon, Norse, Amazon, or Chaos Dwarf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Undead, Tomb Kings, Necromantic, Vampire, Lizardmen, Norse, Amazons and Chaos Dwarfs are in the Teams Of Legend document. Wood Elfs are in Death Zone: Season One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrad Posted August 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 What are skill rings and where do I get them? Are they like the colored rings you used to place around the old small bases to denote your team positions like thrower, catcher, blitzes, blocker?

No, for a tournament like Ordo Bowl, they are indicators of the extra skills given to players above their starting skills. An example would be a Dark Elf Blitzer with added dodge; a skill ring would indicate he has dodge in addition to the Block he starts with. Some people use specialty rings bought from Fantasy Football companies like Willy’s and Greebo, others buy colored rubber bands from Walmart, I use little neon dots attached to the base.

Norrad Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I picked up the new Dark Elf team, cards, dice and pitch on my way home from the airport this afternoon. Going to assemble them tomorrow and hopefully have them ready for Tuesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burk Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 definitely come down on tuesday. Several of us have games already scheduled, but may be able to get you a learning game when our cup games are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Darron, I likely can't make Tuesday GN, sorry. Perhaps on Sunday 8/19 if you're available. I hope you can come this Tuesday for pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I wasn’t expecting a game on Tuesday with not having scheduled anything this late in the game. I’ll be by to hang, watch a couple games and learn again. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a pack of 50 with 5/6 different colors for just a couple of dollars at Fred Meyer or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrad Posted August 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Where can I find the rules for the skill packs that we can choose for our OFCC teams and how they work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skill Packs; choose one of the following packs for your team for the entirety of the event; you may only give a player one skill in addition to what they already are equipped with, and no skill may be acquired via skill pack more than twice (i..e., if you are playing dwarfs several players come with tackle, but you can still use your preferred skill pack to apply tackle to one or two players that do not start with that skill):A) Six normal skillsB) Four normal & 1 double skill(s)C) Two normal and Two double skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted August 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I read that from the main event page but was looking for clarification. So if I choose option A the six skills I can choose 6 regular skills that are available to the player but cannot choose the same skill twice?
