Do women play BB?

How many women were at the BB last year?? Just wondering, and if so, were they all German?

I play in two local leagues and we had only one woman there. She was lovely but she don't want to continue to play.

But I lost my game against her.

I did not understand that question. Why should they be all German?

Previously it was posted that there were a few women playing at the Dungeon Bowl in Germany, so just wondering if the women that were reported to have played in the BB last year were the same ones (I think at least some of them were, N-Key for example).

My wife is playing a Chaos team. Her first official team was against my necromantic team and we had a hard fought 1 all draw.

She then gutted a skaven team (4 fatalities!) while loosing (which made it rather easy for my team to chalk up it's first victory, when I had the next game against these skaven.

In her most recent game she lost to an experianced halfling coach with a reasonably experianced team.

She considers the last 2 games victoies since she filled the casualty box and has an ambition to completly clear the pitch of opposition players.

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.

Tru dat homie!

I went looking for shops to buy some Blood Bowl stuff in Melbourne, Australia last week, and sadly Blood Bowl can only be bought online in Aus now. But the point is, I went into a GW store, and the service was shit house, they were all yelling at the tops of their voices about certain rules... fuuuck... I mean, hey we're all nerds in a way, but geeze... I was glad to get out of there.

Isn't it strange that most BloodBowlers seem to be the gamers that bathe and are civilised, strange that such a simple game

would attract people like that.

It's cos the other Warhammer games are long, boring and tedius. And players who play those games are used to those lengthy games without washing themselves... hahaha!

You are absolutely right. Warhammer is like sex with a maried woman. Complaining all the day, and only fun in your memory.

Blood Bowl on the other hand is like the sixties. Change your partner three times a day, have fun for 2 1/2 hours and then change!

The only problem is that I usually only play guys. The theorie must have an error after all.

Indeed. It's spelt 'theory'.

Congrats Diesel.

My girlfriend is an artist but only works on the bigger stuff. It's great bonding time when I paint my mini's and she works on her stuff. She likes BB and is joining the next league. She doesn't want to win but just hurt other players with her "cute" orks. I don't get it. She thinks I'm cute. I guess I look like an ork. Plus her team has gotten more vicious since I bought her the dice she wanted. She got a 1 turn TD with a troll and goblin then in the same game took me down to 2 players. I started with 11.

A few female friends of mine were asking if they could come along to the Pearly Kings and Queens tournament and watch.

Having seen the way they deal with unwanted attention in clubs I suggested it may not be a good idea....

Seems a common theme that wives/girlfriends aren't that interested in winning but want to damage teams. Mine's exactly the same, her philosophy is to "hit things" during the game.

As long as it's not the other coaches, that's ok.
