Nice one. I didn't make PR today. Next week for sure...

I'm thinking less "in-depth analysis" or "blow by blow reaction" and more "unstructured rambling".

Bloodbowl season 3 box

I've seen a bunch of the #bloodbowl leaks, but I think I'm going to reserve full judgement until I can pore over the book in its entirety.

Our league will finish up using 2020 and probably start next season on 2025.

It usually starts bugging me 5 minutes after I've turned everything off and locked the door - and got on the bus.

What do you need? I have an open box which I don't need. Think I still have most of it.

Truly harrowing testimony I'm sure you'll agree.

Apologies for the lack of trigger warnings.

β€œIn fact that sandwich hasn’t exploded at all,” Shroff reportedly said.

Lairmore, according to the Post, insisted that β€œmustard and condiments [were] on my uniform, and an onion [was] hanging from my radio antenna that night.”

"Defense attorney Sabrina Shroff raised questions about Lairmore’s testimony during her cross examination, The Washington Post reported. She showed the courtroom a photo of the sandwich on the ground, almost entirely in its wrapper, after it struck the CBP agent, according to the Post.

Yep. I have 4 pestis, 4 Human Blitzers, 4 Orc Blitzers, 4 Orc BUBs, etc...

Thanks, G-dubs 🀨

2nd edition Dwarf Blood Bowl players.

New recruits for my 2nd edition Human (soon to be OWA) #bloodbowl team: if you can't beat 'em, join em...

Blocker, Blitzer, Thrower, Troll Slayer*, Blocker.

*There wasn't a 2nd edition Trollslayer, so this is the bare-headed Blitzer 2 who'll get a slightly different paint job.

Yeah - seems they've applied a bit of a random nerf bat. It wasn't for BB3 benefit because they've already done him.

Grombrindal's ability is now once per GAME. And has ruined TWD's uniqueness - and usefulness.

Dear GW
This is #bloodbowl murder. Went from a genuinely interesting toolkit player to a waste of space.
Either reinstate the once per turn - or once per half and they get ALL the listed skills - (with a suitable points readjustment) or he'll likely never get any play.

You picked a good team for the new edition. OWA look quite strong.
Welcome to the #bloodbowl tribe. πŸ™‚

OWA too low for me. Should be T1 at least. Basically Humans with better players and no negatraits.

A colourful Blood Bowl poster titled β€œTeam Building.” It features a cartoon Tomb King player flexing triumphantly beside a small skeletal dog. The text lists tournament tiers for the Grail & Grave Gauntlet event, showing how different teams are grouped by skill and gold value under Blood Bowl’s Third Season rules. The tiers range from Tier 1 β€” with Amazon, Lizardmen, Orcs and Undead β€” to Tier 4 β€” with Goblins, Halflings, Gnomes and Ogres. The bottom of the image shows the Warhammer Blood Bowl logo with the tagline β€œThe Game of Fantasy Football.

ROMBBL’s gone early with our Third Season tournament tiers! πŸ‘€

Here’s how we’re balancing the new edition for our celebration event on Sat 22 Nov @ Dicing With Life, Romford.

What do YOU think β€” fair balance or Nuffle nonsense? πŸ€”
πŸ”₯ Who’s too high?

Block, claws, MB? Yes please.

Block, claws, MB? Yes please.

Initial #bloodbowl new edition thoughts:
Several teams have been trashed - my beloved Humans among them. They'll need hefty rulepack support to be competitive.
Some skills may need tweaks. Seem to be some OP combos.
Star cost adjustment mostly welcome. Grom is now bad, but Skrorg? πŸ‘Œ

#bloodbowl 3rd season box ordered despite misgivings around some of the changes. From the leaks it feels like some teams, skills and rules will need to be dialled back, but I'll give it a go for sure.

Best get Slann done before new edition drops. Who knows what their future is...

I do love a proper Slann team, though. ❀️
