I am intrigued by this game every time someone talks about it. It looks like lots of fun, but alas, I am too dang poor to get into it right now. Sweet looking paint on those minis.

BB was a typical GW WarHammer spin off,heavily promoted (I think they even offered Cheer Leaders figs)& then discontinued
when it had been milked out( I think the market plan called for these Games to have a 6 month promotional run).

Like a few of these spin offs it developed an enthusiastic fan base that wouldn't let it go & thus it's still popular
inspite of being long OoP.

Hi

They made 5 editions before the rules were given to the community, there were a BloodBowl Magazine, before it joined Fanatic, and later on White Dwarf. I have no love for GW, but they are still selling minis and the main game on their website, and the community (some found on fumbbl.com) are still playing tournaments on gencon. In Denmark it seems that we have 3 national BB leagues (Our own amongst them, the official GW that only plays with GW minis, and Copenhagen Blood Bowl, which are having the National Championship).

And its not out of print:

Nice-I had forgotten it was part of the Specialiast Games Line,just don't bother with GW anymore except
for their paints.The cost of those Star Player is crazy-I bought the 2 I saw featured back in the day
to use as conversions to Mordheim for far less.

I played it years and years ago. In fact my bloodbowl team was my first try at painting mini's

I played with an undead team and also had a chaos team.
I still have the figures here from my undead team. My chaos team moved out of town together with the friend I used to play it with.
He played humans and high elves (or dark elves??)

It has been a very long time since I have played it. I don't have the game anymore, it also moved with my friend who I never see anymore.

In my undead team I had the vampire starplayer (Vlad was his name right?). With figure ofcourse I think I gave him to KidDarqo here for his A Touch Of Evil game. hehehe

There is a java based browser game that can be played online that provides a... super simplified gameplay experience. Blood bowl table top is so convoluted in rulings and dice rolling that one down can easily be 20 minutes and 40 rolls for a newbie. That's not to say it's not awesome, but can be... overwhelming. Especially if you play by all the rules like fouling.
