Private message to Ish abot tonight's scheduled 10:30 game, for full FYI:

Sir,

Good news and bad news. 

Bad:  2900+ homes in Damascus and Boring just lost power.  ETA is 1:00 am, but who freaking knows the reality.

Good:  Jenny is up and running and I have full and complete access.  I will have to swap out the propane as the current one is nearly dry, but I have enough for a couple days running max.  I am good to go!

Caveat:  I have a transfer panel, but there is a chance I may get a spike or comcast will go down or something outside my control, running a laptop, modem, router, etc. on a generator.  Things look fine, though - kids are watching Lego Movie II on the XBox One for a Friday night treat and the internet appears stable.

Let's do this!

The alternative being that I can't play again until late Sunday or next Friday, with our hours.  Fun stuff.

It's me! This week isn't to great for me.  I think I could do Friday, Monday or Tuesday starting between 4PM - 8PM (Pacific).  Any of that work for you?  I could do the weekend but would prefer not to.

Stunty strikes again. Last play of the game...skink...two dodges, two GFI rolls...win. Yea, me, but a solid, good game. 

Of course, one of my one AGL Saurus lost an AGL point...and another was fired after losing a STR point...and another skink was killed outright...so let's call it an expensive win.

Damn, this game can be harsh..

On the bright side, all of Creeping Deaths Guardians have Mighty Blow, now, so, yea good luck!

Great game...

Who is Creeping Death?

All, I will be driving to California tomor-row and back next Sunday.   I am taking the laptop, and assuming I can get some wi-fi, I might-could play a game, but...family stuff might interfere with some scheduling.  As always, texting - 510-828-8161 is trhe best way to get in touch quickly.

Wizards for everyone!

Actually, I've never heard of Bolt Action...

Math is hard.

I work with people with advanced grad degrees in math and stats and code writers who easily get confused when presented with real life numbers and situations. 

"What are you even asking me?  I majored in math, not arithmetic!"

"The code is not flawed or broken.  It is performing exactly as it was written."

I love my job.

We're gamers. Of course we wouldn't argue so much about anything that really matters.

But at least one of us is a former New Yorker and HackMaster GameMaster who is more likely to provoke an inappropriate response the more time goes on. 

After all, on a long enough timeline and considering actual economic conditions, all character parties will evolve to Neutral Evil.

Will the comish let new coaches engage in "friendlies" to get some additional SPP to get caught up on the more experienced teams?

I suppose I'll play another season with my Khemri

I hate Khemri.

I'm a little behind...I am just reading about this Blood Bowl 3 thing today...

Update, my friend has BB1, not BB2. He's out..

last chance.  we have 10.  does Jolly and michael want in to make 12?  will close this on thursday.  

I still have a friend who claims he wants to play. I just swung by his desk and let him know the deadline. I figure 11 is better than 10 and 12 is much better. Lizards need more time to build those skills up...  Everybody loves a Saurus with Block and Guard and Mighty Blow...

By my count in this thread, there are 9 players coming with teams. I'd be interested in being the 10th as long as a 10 team league is the size you guys are looking for. I'd be bringing in a new Dark Elf or Dwarf team. My local club is running a league of physical Blood Bowl and this inspired me to come join you guys in the digital world (cue up Digimon theme). Hopefully it'll be a good time and we won't roll too many 1s.

I couldn't imagine keeping track of all the modifiers playing BB analogue. I remember watching it at a Con in the early 90's and despite being interested, I couldn't pull the trigger. That I didn't paint minis until a decade later only out me off even more.  

On a drunken whim in the middle of the night I bought a discounted download from Amazon in the early 2010's and I was hooked.

But I couldn't imagine playing this manually...

If you are interested in playing in season 2 of the OB2 league, please post here.  I will leave this open till we have enough teams or 2 weeks pass.  I will then create the league.  

• league is run on PC
• Returning teams are allowed
• Playoff will be top 4 teams in the league

Please post any questions as well

New Lizardmen team.

1000 TV.

I have a friend who has BB PC version who has never played and is interested. But... he's on vacation until next week.

10 or 11 should be ok for me. 

When does the next season begin?

Similar story here. I am not ready to run Norse against actual human opponents, as awesome as their style is.

You could always try Goblins and Halflings, instead...  Maybe Humans.

It might be locked down in some way, since we're well into it. Perhaps we'll get a Jahreszeit Zwei at some point here, tho.

Boring Dinos of Eastwood....ticket is pending.

Yeah BB2 on PC is Steam only

I hate steam.

BB2 doesnt allow cross platform, but PC has the most players.

The ironic thing being, of course, I spent most of my life deriding console gamers...until I got tired if managing Amazon Prime, Netflix, cable, network, Pandora, YouTube, twitch, Plex, et al...and bit the bullet and got an XBox One mostly as a media hub. 

But, the big question is whether I need Steam in order to play? I'd like to test before the new season begins. I was and still am looking to a local OR BB league.
