BLOODBOWL

[koran]

Ok, if this counts as advertising or anything I shouldnt be doing then let me know and I will delete the thread.

But I thought I should let it be known about this amazing site I got shown the other day. You download the game (and normally a chatroom program to find people) and you can play bloodbowl for FREE over the net against other people! And between games it does all the SSP and everything so your team improves (or in my case players get injured and die!).

Its: fumbbl.com

Hope to see people on it and I look forward to a few games with you all. My team (well before it gets killed off) is the Dancing Blades, come give me a game.

Dancing blades eh? Sound kinda like you play Wood Elves. I'm a Dark Elf player myself. Does this use the latest living rulebook rules as such? I have signed and will play when i can.

Cheers, this looks cool.

[koran]

Yeah its tree huggers for me. At least for the moment. Yeah it uses the latest rulebook on specialist games (and apparently if it ever is updated the game will as well (you just need to download the new patch).

Havent played dark elves yet...... Whats your team name?

[lowlygaunt]

Haha good old bloodbowl! great game, but took way too long to play for what it was. This looks cool, thanks for sharing.

What is Blood Bowl?

[koran]

The best way to describe it I guess would be American football with teams from warhammer fantasy. But that doesnt really do it justice as being a lot of fun but also, on occation, possibly the most frustrating thing to play (in a kind of amusing way though) when the dice are against you.....

[zark]

I signed up, havent played a game yet (on the net OR on the table top) so if anyone wants to show me the ropes so to speak pm me here and hopefully im online

[koran]

Id be happy too... Have you read the online rulebook? You kind of need to or its going to take to long to explain over the net.

What team are you and what are they called?

Also what league/division/thing have you signed up into? Most people play in the ranked one but academy is for real beginers so it depends what you want to do.... Its just that in the academy it might be hard to find a game (there aint many people in it).

[zark]

Yeh there was no one in academy so i made a ranked team.
I have a gobbo team called Gaznits Whozits.
Are you talking about the online rulebook on the fanatic site or does the net bloodbowl have an actual manual (the ones ive looked at dont tell you how to do anything)

[koran]

The one on the specialist ganes website....

Hang on... Found it:
www.specialist-games.com/bloodbowl/rulebook.asp
You want to download "the complete rulebook".

I will be on looking for a game at about 5.30 tonight if you can read that fast... Also goblins are quite a hard team to start with (well not even to start with, they are just hard to use full stop) as are halflings, wood elves, vampires and ogres.... You might wanna concider starting with another team (though if your just learning it doesnt matter and anything that happens that you dont understand I can try to explain.

[koran]

Just had a look at your team.... It looks good exept that you dont need that many cheerleaders or assistant coaches (if any of either) and you should spend the money from them to buy more rerolls (gobbo's need more than 1 or they are going to get hurt).
