Just had to say that I enjoyed reading this and will give it a go sometime. Personally I think its better than the All at Sea article.

Looks good, but I just have to ask this: What about the Undead? Do they suffer the same frostbites as mortals? I mean, sure Ghouls and maybe Vampires but what about skeletons? Zombies might get frozen stiff(er) but the skeleton part just caught my attention. (or maybe I just didn't read it through that carefully...) Maybe skeletons get ice in between their joints? Or something...

Read the text again:
Sherlock wrote:11. You might be asking yourself why would Skeletons be bothered by a chilly wind? After all, they’re necromantic constructs, not real living people, right? Well, that is true but many an Undead coach has turned up for the Ice Bowl, confident that his skeletal team will win simply because the cold won’t get to his players, only to find out the hard way that this is not true. The icy wind on the coast of the Sea of Claws is so intensely cold that the bones of Skeletons soon become extremely brittle.

Just wondering if you use a special ice bowl pitch? A Clear or Blur perspec sheet would be great with groves cut in to mark it out!

My local RT store just finished an Ice Bowl tournament and it was the most fun playing Blood Bowl I'd had in ages!!! :lol: You should have seen the interest it garnered. Over the weekend we had seven new coaches sign up for the regular store league just because they got cuaght up in wathcing the games!!!!! :o We're going to do another one next month. I can't wait!!

A serious question: if Streetbowl is going to be in Fanatic magazine, why not this? It's a lot better IMHO and much more fun.
