Personal_Nirvana posted:Welp, guess balance is out of the equation then. BloodBowl is one of the more well balanced games out there. Elf and other week teams are going to take more death and damage, it's unavoidable, but will win more than their fair share of games. There are tricks to playing a high AG team, which include trying to make sure none of your players are in contact with standing opponents at the end of your turn, giving your opponent one blitz each turn. That's the big one for keeping your players alive, and stifling a bashing team's offence, too, as they get to move one space before hitting your line of elves. There are some teams that are deliberately week, Halflings being the best example, but those are there for laughs. The elf teams are seriously powerful if you play them correctly.

The early rules, with the yellow star players book, and the red book in particular, were the best. There was an actual referee, who moved around the pitch, and you could knock him over, and do whatever the hell you wanted while he was down. Your player would be sent off once the ref stood back up, unless he died, but you could have a lot of fun with the rules, such as touchdowns not counting while he was down, etc. You could argue calls, too. The red book also had official rules for using downs and punting. No-one used the downs rule, but plenty of us included the punting rules, kickers were seriously OP for a couple of years.

Nothing in the releases so far suggests this is the very, very good BloodBowl Team Manager game which FFG makes.

NutShellBill posted:I started a tabletop league of Blood Bowl at my FNGS, and despite the inherent flaky nature of gamers, it's going fairly well. I'm currently leading the table with my Halfling team, which has prompted some owners to remark that "It's really not worth winning" and raising your team value. Helmets with +1 av, some boots with sprint built into them, (rather than free skills/mkutations) that sort of thing work really well as prizes. If they have the actual boardgame, then nicely printed and laminated endzone strips are awesome, and we gave one player a new board hand-painted with paint and sand, very nice.

If there is any interest in Blood Bowl left for people, it is currently 4 pounds in the UK on steam, which I imagine means it is about $6-$7.

JT Jag posted:The thought of this alternate form of Blood Bowl bounced back in my head, and I see no one posted here since we last discussed it, so I guess I'll bump the thread too. Leperflesh mentioned getting rid of the center-of-field LOS but after thinking about it a bit I'm thinking that you'd keep the normal LOS for the kickoff and then reset the LOS where the kickoff return ends. It might give people some incentive to give players skills that no one ever uses now, like kickoff return, because getting field position would be so important. Sounds like the old system in the Bloodbowl Companion book (which was released a little while after the yellow Star Player book, in 1990). Was very interesting. Four downs, with the LOS resetting to where you were tackled last, and the LOS after a kick off exactly how you describe it. Punting was a thing. Those official books were excellent. Actual referees that moved around randomly and that you could block so they didn't see illegal plays, but they would immediately send off the blocking player once they stand up. I had to check BoardGameGeek to see that the book really existed, because even though I remember it, no-one I know remembers it. It existed, and for a couple years those rules aping actual NFL football were the way everyone played.
