Hi!

I'm "newbie" from Finland and haven't played Blood Bowl since late 80's. So I see that there have been some changes in the game... I just downloaded latest version of the rulebook and it looks quite exciting.
I've got the 2nd edition game, so I guess I don't have to buy new BB box?

Hi Javu. :D
Late 80's? Second edition days? Ho hum...
Expect a much faster and more dynamic game now.
Use an old set? Well, the end zones are only one square deep now, and the pitch has slightly larger squares. I guess you could use the old dug-out at a pinch (you don't need the stunned box), and use the score track as a turn track. You'd still need to improvise a re-roll track and counters...aah treat yourself to a new set! :)

Hello!

I'm new to this board to (well, been here for a few weeks). Its a good forum, with many knowledgeable players. If you havn't played the 3:rd edition, you will see many changes. The game is a lot faster, and in my opinion also much better. There is also lots of online play in form of PBEM, check that forum. I havn't tested that at all, but I'm curious to try.

I'm from Södertälje, Sweden but both my parents are born in Finland. :)

In addition to PBeM, you can play 'live' online using Javabowl, written by SkiJunkie:

There is also a league beginning which will use it to play all the games:

Seriously.....

What was the point of ressurecting a 9 month old thread to say hi to a former noob :roll:
