Blood Bowl League Update: I’ll be looking into league options tonight, as it seems we have a good number of people willing to play. I’ll have more info tomorrow for everyone, but since this is the start we will be using fresh teams. Head on over to the BB section of the Inq forums (you will need to create an account) and post your BB account name along with what race you might want to play, as this will give us an idea towards what kind of variety we might have. If you don’t have a favorite team right now, no worries. League name suggestions are also welcome, though I doubt any suggestion will top “SynCaine and his Sheeple”!

In other BB news, my Necro team is one sad collection of unlucky corpses. The team is 1-0-7 in the first MM league (forget the name…). I’ve already had both a Wight and a Ghoul die, and so far only one upgrade has been anything special (+1 Armor for my wolf, which is nice but nothing amazing really). The amount of double-skull, reroll, double-skull rolls is frightening, and you know things are not going well when a High Elf team out-bashes you, badly. Syn’s Sinners shall soldier on however!

So far my experience with random matchmaking has been really positive though. No disconnects, no abusive opponents, and only a couple of games have been ‘slow’ in terms of how long someone spent per turn (which I’ve already fixed by only playing 2min turn timer games, rather than 4min limit). I’ve also played a wide variety of teams, and, as my record shows, everyone so far has been rather skilled (or I’m just that bad).

I’m hoping to start up our league by next week or the weekend, so if you are still on the fence, get off and dive in. It’s a great game that got much, much better with the Legendary Edition.
