We have lost another player. Please spread the word.

Look, I'm poisoning them for a reason. You want I should undo all my hard work?

(seriously though, I'll do what I can)

Team Name: the Starry Wisdoms

College of Heavens

The Celestial Order would like to refute in no uncertain terms the accusation that entire sub-departments of our college have fallen to organized worship of one of the Chaos Powers. Specifically, several complaints have been leveled against our up-and-coming Dungeon Bowl team, the Starry Wisdoms, alleging that they do not adhere to the agreed-upon intercollegiate team composition rules.

To briefly address some of these specific points:

• It's true that our Lizardmen and Skinks have large mouths, bright coloration, and more limbs than are normally associated with their species. They all belong to the same spawnings, and simply share these blessings in common.
• The Norse, growing up in unfortunately-close proximity to the Chaos Wastes, frequently exhibit the odd mutation, which is why our Valkyries are unusually blue and avian in appearance.
• Yes, our Norse Linemen wear golden masks. To be honest, Norsca is several decades behind in fashion, and the craze started by the College of Metal's famous trendsetter Balthasar Gelt is only now taking hold there.
• Reports that our star Thrower has only one eye are correct. He's very sensitive about it. Please stop pointing it out. His preternatural skills at delivering the ball across the field are not due to illicit gifts of mystic foresight; he just works very hard in Physics class.
• As for the frenzied flames that have been observed capering between the sidelines as if they possessed a rudimentary intelligence... please direct your complaints to the College of Fire, we have nothing to do with it.

It is our hope that these scurrilous allegations can be put to rest, and the Ordo Collegiate All-Star Bowl can proceed unhindered, as the Great Crow constellation foretells.

I know I said I would participate, but I was informed I have a prior commitment. I accept all the hate mail I deserve for this.

Can we fit a Two Minutes Hate into the tournament schedule? 🤔

I'll believe this ticket link when I see it. I know what you're up to. Can't lose the tournament if you're the only player in it!

The Steely Dangers, College of Metal

Initially entering the Dungeon Bowl circuit to much acclaim, the Steely Dangers began as a well-mixed team of Human and Orc players. Over time, however, reckless coaching and poor luck with explosive chests weeded out the relatively fragile human players through natural attrition, leaving a core of tough Orc veterans. Not that they've all emerged unscathed, either - celebrated technical player Deacon Blues is now more machine than Orc. The only (presumed) human remaining on the team is the Bloodseeker Brother Lou, who the orcs respect for his capacity for violence even though he's said to be "a bit too into blood, innit?"

Are you suggesting that knowledge of the maps should influence my strategy? Or that I should have a strategy? Or any idea of what I'm doing at all?

So are you saying that if I bought another copy we'd be able to fit two more players? Because that's starting to sound like a valid excuse.

Hello! Anyone want to play a game of Blood Bowl or Kill Team with me on Tuesday? I have my Undead team and also my Necron Kill Team. I do prefer Blood Bowl though, if I have to choose...

I'm definitely up for a friendly Blood Bowl game. I'll message you to work out details!

I tried to to think of something funny and quippy but couldn't because I'm too excited.

Also it doesn't count if your players were dead already

Hi all, I picked up a large lot of brand new Willy Miniatures teams at a discount, but need some to go. I'd be happy to sell them for $65 each. I'm not sure when I'll be around the Ordo Clubhouse next, but to ship a box would cost about $4 for most teams, or more like $8 for Necro or Khemri because they're metal rather than resin. (For reference, Willy generally retails them for 80 Euros each).

Specifically I'm selling:

Orcs

Nurgle ("Lords of Corruption", Cthulhu-themed Big Guy)

Khemri/Tomb Kings ("Mythology" team)

Chaos

Chaos Pact/Renegades (with Kickstarter-exclusive alternate mutated arms for the big guys)

Necromantic

Wood Elves

Just received my order from @scottshoemaker today. The quality, price, and service were all better than I expected going in. I'm afraid that now that I know this is an option, I'm going to start buying more .stls...

Tuesdays are looking impossible for me this Fall, up through early December. If at all possible though, I'll be on board for whatever season comes after Fall!

Deathroller, nooooo! Stand up and be the star you were meant to be!

So much Block in that championship match. Good luck everyone, wish I could be there!

Sure I'm down. Like my daddy always told me, "Second runner up is the sweet spot boy, nobody expects nothing from you." 

Kick an elf while they're down for me, in memory of my new Sneaky Git/Dirty Player piece that I never had a chance to use.

Also if you win, I'm declaring myself champion by proxy

My younger child has COVID (I'm untested), so I won't be participating in the playoffs. Obviously it's up to you how you want to handle it @jollyork, but I have zero problem with you going down the list to the next person.

Insert Nurgle joke here

@Jay Sounds good, thank you! I've read most of the rules so I'm not starting at zero, just very close to it. I'll most likely be there at 4, but if not then by 5 for sure.

(Posted this in the wrong thread before.) I'd be appreciative of an Infinity demo game if someone's up to it!

@Jayor @Exile - either of you able to make a Thursday game night?

Actually belay that - I just realized I got the wront game night thread. I meant Tuesday 7/27, tomorrow!

I'm interested in Infinity, although I haven't yet mustered my courage to assemble any models. Anyone willing to do a demo game with me?

I was going to take another Pro Troll, but then I realized that doesn't jive with my strategy of never rolling any 1s to begin with. So:

A2, Sneaky Git, #3 Meat & Gristle, +20k

Backup: G1/G4 Sure Hands on #4 Sebum, +40k

I would definitely be into a league using the random stadiums and random event tables.

Guess I'll take

P3 Leader on #1, Poxbreadth Gorge, +40,000

Btw I was reminded that chosen primary skills are 20k not 10k. I'll make sure it's correct on the roster!
