Blood Bowl: The 3++ Is Nuffle’s Wrath

One of the most interesting things that’s come up in Blood Bowl is the joking about the 3++ (3+ roll with a reroll) being Nuffle’s favorite roll to absolutely fuck someone on. There’s some real truth to that! It comes from two places: A 3++ roll is 89% likely to succeed. It’s likely enough that

Blood Bowl: Individual Merit of Spite, Extreme Temperatures, and the Valkyrie is Aggressive

Valkia has now drawn blood on the pitch, and my word was it an incredible match. The Skull Throne Valkyries went up against the Gorgoroth Geniuses, a team of completely legitimate Dawi businesspeople and their hired hobgoblins, and of course two massive, powerful blessed Bull Centaurs of Hashut. Val’s team of giant murder-valkyries and smaller

Blood Bowl: Necromantic Horrors

Having played multiple trial games with them and had my first match of the season, Necromantic Horror has been a very interesting change from humans. I still have to adapt to the opponent, of course; against Khorne, Talyssa and Orson have to be kept away from Valkia (their Bloodspawn Big Guy representing the coach herself

Blood Bowl: Season 2 Team Profile: The Golden Songbirds

Remember how Friedrich the Thrower was always rescuing forest animals? Well, after the season, he rescued a fox from a trap who promised to lead him to the golden songbird, as mentioned. Unbeknownst to everyone, when The Fox led the Thrower into the forest, he led him to the Golden Songbirds, a team of bizarre

Blood Bowl: Where Are They Now: A Spielburg Sheriffs Retrospective

I regret to report that the Spielburg Sheriffs lost the final on PKs after a 1-1 tie in regulation time. Even worse, Jaeger the Halfling was killed by Catra. Bruno failed a 3++ dodge that would’ve taken the cup 2-1 on turn 16, too. It happens, such is Nuffle’s Great Game. As I will be

Blood Bowl: Even Higher Elfing

So I’ve been pondering for an additional day and hit on some further ideas for the elfs. Let’s introduce the Nagarythe Shadow Safety (Technically a Catcher replacement, but Catchers make great safeties anyway), the Sister of Averlorn (like the Dragon Prince, it’s a title they refuse to add a sports thing to, an alternate Thrower),

Blood Bowl: Higher Elfing Concepts

One of the annoyances of Blood Bowl deciding to do gnomes (though they could be fun; foxes as fast ball carriers, stunties who probably don’t have Dodge but instead have Wrestle and Jump Up, who knows?) is that High Elfs really need an update. They’re not a bad team, far from it. They’re an extremely

Blood Bowl: The Sylvania Spare Parts, Necromantic Team

The Regular Season is over and it’s time to start thinking about next season! The Sheriffs came in 1st place in the regular season, with the only undefeated record in the league (it was close, very close, due to league points for extra TDs, kills, etc and due to 2 ties). Also the only team

Blood Bowl: Season Continues!

Short one today because I’m preparing for The Big Game soon! Being one of the league leaders in a crowded fight over 1st place alongside the Argonorks and Carnosaurs has led to my Blood Bowl season being rather exciting because it feels like every game for the Sheriffs is The Big Game. I also believe

Blood Bowl: Additional Sheriffing

So I’ve now played 6 games (1 exhibition, 5 official) with the Sheriffs because one of the players was out sick for their game 4 against the new dorf team and I was free, they were my next opponent anyway, and so I got moved up in the schedule. I feel like I’ve got a

Blood Bowl: Spielburg Sheriffs Update!

The Sheriffs have had a pair of really big games for the last two games! Playing against the other two teams threatening to take the league by storm, the Argonorks and the Cuexotl Carnosaurs. They acquitted themselves well in both games, fighting the Argonorks to a 1-1 tie while suffering no casualties whatsoever and defeating

Blood Bowl: A Match To Please Nuffle

I apologize for the lack of update yesterday; I was busy playing an additional game of Blood Bowl. You see, we have a floating extra team in the league, Hoagie’s Heroes. They can be played by whoever volunteers to try them, they earn no league points, and they exist because we have an odd number

Blood Bowl: The Spielburg Sheriffs Report, Games 1 and 2!

The Sheriffs have played two crazy games of Blood Bowl and begun to advance as players! I thought it’d be fun to update some of the player fluff and talk a little about their adventures, especially the chronicle of Otto von Goon, who I’m beginning to suspect is somehow chosen by Nuffle. Chosen for what,

Blood Bowl: The Heroes of Spielberg, the Spielberg Sheriffs!

The prosperous town of Spielburg is a small bit of cheer among the gloomy Grey Mountains of Wissenland. In the 2600s, it’s become a destination for skiers, hikers, and wealthy tourists from Nuln, coming up-state to witness the beautiful forests and picturesque mountain views and try new hobbies and sports like ‘hockey’, a game taken
