Interest Check in a **FREE** Super Nerdy Blood Bowl League? -

[Strelok]

EDIT: So.. That's what happens when you use the report function to ask for a thread title change to clarify something. Had it coming I guess.

So, getting a bit bored of playing nameless faceless people online, and was wondering if anyone would be up for a round robin tourney for Blood Bowl? We'd need at least 8 players myself included, and would be using the free FUMBBL client for it.

If you were to join, you'd need to be able to set aside at least 60-90 min every week for a match, although it should be noted any OS that can run JAVA can run FUMBBL, it's all 2d and sprite based, so the only real requirement is a screensize of at least 1024x768 which is the client window size.

The only real rule I'd have for it is that there shouldn't be more than 2 of the same race in order to create some variety. Anyway if you're interested please say so below.

Edit relevant to new players only: For new players there are two resources I want to give. The first is bbtactics.com, which has excellent guides for team builds and general strategy.

The second is WowCrendor's 3 min guide to BloodBowl, which covers all the bare-minimum bases in a rapid video. Not that this video uses the retail game not FUMBBL, but the rules are identical.

And here's the link to the full tabletop rulebook, which is a bit of a read, but covers literally every rule obviosuly. Needs a PDF reader. http://www.bloodbowl-game.com/files/BB_LRB6.pdf

You can, but good luck getting a CALWPOMB stack going in a round robin tourney.

I'd be interested. I usually play Chaos or Orcs.

Winning is for losers. Real winners play Chaos and worry about the consequences later.

Edit: I'm deciding between the Eye of Terror Patriots and the Eye of Terror Roughriders as a name.

Well whatever it's going to be, you should make the team as soon as you decide on a name, just make sure it's in the League Division. No need to actually buy players or rolls or anything yet, just want to squat the name incase someone else comes up with it.

BEHOLD! The true gods of mankind have sent their holiest servants to beat you at football.

Blood for the blood bowl! Balls for the ball throne!

I'm definatly going to be taking Humans, might name them after my current team in the Cyanide version.

EDIT: Know what, screw it, I'm playing Elf-Ball with the Rich Bastards themselves, the High Elves.

Alright, went and set up the group for you to assign your teams to. We still need 3 players, since 6 is the absolute bare minimum for this sorta thing, although as I said 8 is the preferred minimum.


Just PM the group admin (me of course) the link to your team page, and I'll send the invite to the group.
