![]() ![]() ![]() It is a very loose parody of American Football, incorporating elements of classic fantasy settings like elves, orcs, and dwarves. Do you want a team that pummels its way down the field, wreaking havoc in its wake? Pick up a Chaos Chosen team and watch heads roll (or get smashed)! Do you want to play a team that’s agile, fast, and a legit scoring threat on just about any turn? Then grab some Wood Elves, and resist the urge to smugly say “scoreboard” every five seconds of every game! The Historyīlood Bowl is the original tabletop fantasy football game, first released in 1986 and created by Jervis Johnson. It uses specialized dice, custom measuring tools and templates, and poses a tactical and strategic challenge that takes up less time than a game of Warhammer, but still has a ton of the complexity and fun of its parent setting.īlood Bowl has all of the classic Warhammer Fantasy factions: Humans, Orcs, Elves (all 4 types!), Dwarves, Undead, Skaven, Chaos, Lizardmen, Goblins, and even Halflings! There is something for everyone in Blood Bowl. If you’re a new coach or are Blood Bowl-curious, read on! Stick with Goonhammer in the coming days for more Blood Bowl coverage, including our New Edition Roundtable! What is Blood Bowl?ĭo you like football or rugby? Have you ever thought, “This sport is cool or whatever, but I really want to see a psychotic goblin saw an elf in half with a chainsaw.” Well, dear Sports Fan, then Blood Bowl is for you! Blood Bowl is a fast-paced, easy-to-learn, but difficult-to-master turn-based tabletop game that pits a small team of fantasy trope players against a roughly equal opposing team on a pitch (or field). I may update the rules in the future, but for now will stick with what I have collected.Hey there, Sports Fans! Welcome to Goonhammer’s inaugural coverage of everyone’s favorite fantasy football game: Blood Bowl ! With the new edition going up for pre-order last weekend, we wanted to get the word out to those who might be interested in diving into one of Games Workshop’s most accessible games. ![]() That is mainly because all updated rules can not be found in one central place yet and from what I gather, most people /leagues /tournaments still use the old CRP. So far I am unwilling to give my site an update, because up until now I cannot see a benefit in it. I am aware, that with the re-publushing of Blood Bowl by Games Workshop in 2016 there have been changes and additions to the rules that you find here. You have done some great work! Thank you for sharing it! I do encourage you to look around for yourself and maybe you find something, that suits your needs better.įinally I would like to thank the creators of the recources you find here. Or at least join the NAF, which also does a marvellous job for the community.Īlso, a quick word on the things I share here: if you search around you will find tons of high quality resources for Blood Bowl! I only chose a very small quantity of what is to be found. You will have to get your own set of dice and/or substitue some Block Dice though.Īnd even though everything is for free on this site, I highly recommend spending money on this game! There are many fabulous companies out there that do wonderful things. Now, all you need is a printer, some thin cardboard, a pair of sciccors and some time. It will give you an almost complete set of the Blood Bowl game. I took the things I considered good, added things I couldn’t find on the web and put them all together on this site. My aim was to collect Do-It-Yourself-Blood-Bowl-Resources in one central place, so players who are new to the game will find the neccessary equipment available to them. I am SAEBELSULTAN (NAF-Tag and on the forums) and you will find here almost everything you need in order to start playing Blood Bowl.
