Main Blood Bowl thread here (http://forum.pausegaming.com/showthread.php?t=2160)

We'll be playing on the free online version of Blood Bowl: FUMBBL (http://fumbbl.com/)

I've played a few games now, and while I got reamed each and every time (hint: don't pick Wood Elves as your first team (http://fumbbl.com/help:NewbieWhichRace)), it was fun. FUMBBL is an accurate representation of the board game. Matches are a good mix of tactics and luck (or more likely awesomely bad luck that leaves you screaming), and there's a real hook with the persistency of your team; all your players gain XP and so gain skills and stat boosts as you go on (unless they get killed, natch).

So, if you want to play in the league post here. When it kicks off everyone will be starting anew with a scratch team. If you want to get a few games in to see if you like it, or for practice to get up to speed, then you'll have plenty of time to do so before the league starts, and there's more than enough pause members gagging for games (Mogwai, Sid and TK-Max) to make finding an opponent really easy.


Post here if you're interested in playing in the league. Post in the
original Blood Bowl thread (http://forum.pausegaming.com/showthread.php?t=2160) if you just want to talk about the game.

EDIT: You can pick your race now if you want

Chaos (http://fumbbl.com/help:ChaosStrategy), Chaos Dwarves (http://fumbbl.com/help:ChaosDwarfStrategy) or Nurgle's Rotters (http://fumbbl.com/help:Nurgle%27sRottersStrategy)? The starting player guide says:

Recommended:
Chaos Dwarves: are another flexible stomping team. Bull Centaurs, Chaos Dwarves and Hobgoblins all have fairly clear roles.

Not Recommended:
Chaos: Starting rosters for Chaos aren't very strong. Generally you will find yourself either lacking Chaos Warriors or lacking the rerolls you need to handle the ball reliably.

Steer well clear to start with:
Nurgle's Rotters: Like Chaos, but with more complicated skills, and no chance to buy an apothecary.

i will play! with... Amazon!
(as tempted as i was by ogres... starting lineup with 5 ST5 Mighty Blow??!?! )

Oh, something Chaos based.

chaos dwarf are pretty straightforward, and certainly to start out i wouldn't recommend any of the trickier teams until you get your head round the odds involved in making every single roll - chaos are powerful when developed, but very risky when you've noone in the team with ball handling skills and expensive team re-rolls
