Blood Bowl League Update: Our league is in the midst of week four, so a long-overdue update is in order. To check out all of the stats and standings, swing by our website.

My team, Syngularity, just played it’s 4^th game, a tough 1-0 victory over Lagman’s orc team Nerf Me. The cost of victory was high however, as clumsy lineman Forge died while attempting to dodge away from a few black orcs. An apothecary was sent out on to the field, but with the regular doctor on vacation, his assistant accidentally cut Forge in half rather than fix up the massive gash on his side. The result? Dead/dead. Poor bastard. In his honor, a new lineman has been hired, and hopefully Forge Reborn will have better luck (or feet anyway, dodge-failing elven fool…)

To add insult to injury, on the final turn of the game, another lineman suffered a serious concussion, reducing his armor value by one. For taking one straight to the head, he was named team MVP. He has since learned to wrestle down people rather than block their punches with his face. Finally, a fellow lineman got a lucky double roll for his promotion, picking up Guard.

The team now sits at 3-0-1, which puts them near the top of the league. They are also balanced in terms of promotions, with five elves at level two and all around 7-11 SPP. No significant stat increases have occurred yet however, though the double roll to pick up Guard is a good thing for High Elves, who naturally lack access to strength skills.

Around the league, many teams sit at one victory, though some have yet to play their week four game. The most advanced player is a scary one, Filthadelphia Bad Luck 13’s Beast of Nurgle, who is not only level three, but also has received a +1str upgrade to go along with Guard. At 6str and tentacles, not many players are going to escape the beast’s grasp. Not surprisingly, the beast also leads the league in injuries caused, at four. The team overall has struggled so far, but with a star player like this, it’s only a matter of time before they get rolling.

League-wide, a total of seven players have died so far. One can only wonder what the total will be once the season draws to a close. The only undefeated team left is Bnason’s dwarves, Da Randy Moss Road Show, lead by star runner Tobey, a level two dwarf with +1str. Lets see if they can keep it going this week when they face Cerumol’s wood elves, Backlash Buccaneers. It’s either going to be an air show in the elves favor, or a bloodbath as the dwarves slowly grind them down.

More to come!
