Anyway. There is a girl at our club who plays BB, and has done for as long as it's been running. Although she now has 2 kids, so perhaps I should describe her as a woman. One of them, it is rumoured, by Ian Pickstock. :-?

Ladyorka plays Fumbbl. AFAIK she's the only female BB opponent I've played against in 15 years.

I thought female gamers where like female dwarves, hard to tell apart. I remember years ago 2 women playing BB or was that just wishful thinking

The object of Bloodbowl is not to die for your team, but make the other bastard die for their team.

I gave up playing Blood Bowl years ago, didn't have the time etc. Then I started dating this girl who pulled the board out of a cupboard one day and asked me if I had ever played.
That was 2 years ago, been playing ever since and she is a good Coach.
I thought I better not let this one get away so I married her last month - Blood Bowl till we're old! Great! :lol:

We'll.. it's not too difficult to understand that women won't play a game with such high percentage of violence. ;)
Here in the league I play, we've got only two, but one of them is a good player... here are her stats

Games Played: 130
Win: 54
Draw: 19
Loss: 57

My girlfriend actually likes violence (only in movies and/or games, obviously).

She plays BloodBowl, but likes painting minis better. I'm not complaining since I get to play with really cool painted minis.

Finish those dwarves, Woman! :lol:

Is it any wonder most women won't play BBowl. Just look at the sort of boys that play the game. Maybe I'm simplifying but the last time I went into a GW store I felt so disgusted by the Foul Appearance of the patrons and staff that I failed the roll and had to leave without making my purchase.

Nearly the same situation for my girlfriend at my local shop...

" What, you want to visit this shop full of smelly, blackclothed, smoking , hardrock hearing meaniacs ? ... well, make it fast , i will wait outside ! "

Ok, not always, but sometimes its true, there are some roleplayer guys ( or maybe orcs in disguise ? :roll: ), too, which smell like they living in the woods or the darkest dungeons. :o
But the local BBs, which visited my place, too, are OK. :)

Those GW-shops are something special. I'm guessing that in order to work there, you must have ADHD, drink at least 2 pots of extra strong coffee before you go to work and have the psychological profile of a stalker.
