I am new to Bloodbowl. I have played Warhammer and 40K so I am not a complete newbie. I always thought that bloodbowl loooked cool and want to try it. Here are my questions: 1) What is the latest edition? 2) How long does an average game take to play? Thanks

Living Rule Book 2.0 (Downloadable for free from the GW site) or the current Handbook that comes with the game plus the 2003 Annual.
Game length? 2 - 2.5 hrs once your familiar with the game, work on a little more while you're learning.

the lrb is based on 3rd ed.
Rules change comes with LRB.
So the current rules are LRB (effectively based upon the 3 rd Ed).

To answer your last question, it really depends on how you play. If you play agressive tabletop, games can be less than an hour. If you play leisure tabletop, you are looking at 1 1/2 hours to 2 on occasions, depending on if you fail your 1st action or not
If you play online, with
FUMBBL league Javabowl, games can be very fast. Or if you us the
play by email tool, games can take weeks, with you only playing a few minutes at a time.

Wow, you guys are fast, round my way we think 2 hours is a fast game, most of our games take 2.5.
One of my opponents has trouble getting a game in under 4 hours

Well, considering the way I roll dice, my turns typically only last a few seconds
