sergentzimm Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Howdy folks. I am starting to feel better and I would like to start up a new Blood Bowl League after the holidays, just about when the Mordheim league is finishing. Two main questions. 1. Is there enough interest. 2. The new version vs the living rulebook version? Which version should we use? So with that said let me know what you think and questions? For my part, I know I have been out for a while but I am using this as a focus to get back into things. I will likely play in the league if there is an odd man out, or drops. I am more interested in playing a few games and making sure it runs than winning the league and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gailbraithe Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I'd be interested, though it'd be dependent on how long the season will last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gailbraithe Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Bloodbowl doesn't take nearly as long to play as Mordhiem or 40k, so we could probably get two games in per night, so maybe do alternating weeks? Or set up a playoff schedule so everyone doesn't have a game scheduled every night of the season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I'd definitely be down for some Blood Bowl! Directly following Mordheim might be too soon for me, as I'll want a chance to play some other neglected games before committing to another campaign. Still, I really like the idea of being able to start a league, having a time limited league, and then letting it roll over into an ongoing open, play-as-you-will league, with the possibility of reoccurring seasons down the road. I haven't even seen the new rules. Did they change things? The LRB was so good, it seems like they'd be fools to mess with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalahanarama Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I am up for Blood Bowl League. Just picked up the new box set last night (But still have my second and third editions to pull out as well). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Those changes look pretty manageable. Pile On got harder to do, but that was a pretty abusable skill that made for some campaign-wrecking crews. Gutter Runners now have a bonus on making injury rolls, but it's an expensive ST 2 model that's not tackling very often. I'm not seeing much else different, unless I'm missing something. Looks good! EDIT: No Wizard is hard for underdogs, but that's easy enough to add back in for a league rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkie Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I've never played Blood Bowl but I'm willing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I might be down in a little while. Need a bit of time after the mordheim campaign though. And I suppose I'd need to actually put a team together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergentzimm Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 ok great I will setup the details and aim for a February start. So get working on those teams! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 So if I do this are we playing the new rules? The 2 teams I'm most interested in are Norse and Chaos which seem to not be represented in the new books. Also February may be too soon after Mordheim.

Wiccus Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Well it's midwinter break. The campaign has 3 to 4 more weeks starting January 3rd. I would say people would need a month or more to do whatever first. But I guess that's up to everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiccus Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 And by mid winter I mean early winter before Koyote yells at me again. March would be better for me. Gives me time to get a team and paint it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_devil Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I'm of course down. Wood Elves are my team. To keep it flexible it should be between you and your scheduled opponent to sort game times. That's what has worked in leagues I was in back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_devil Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Also, I can start whenever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_devil Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 @sergentzimm: Nathaniel would like you to reach out to him. He is being sent a promo box of the new Blood Bowl for the store, and wants to get in on this. He may also be interested in playing. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
