Don't chuck it! :o

Ok, it's not ultra useful, but iirc, there's fluff in it that isn't in the LRB.

At least try and sell it on eBay. :wink:

Is it useful for gameplay though? The main reason I ask is because the one I'm looking into getting is coming without a rulebook. If it's just fluff I'll be missing, I'm okay with that for starters.

If it hasn't got a rule book, not a problem, just dl the lrb and print that.

Cool. That's what I thought, but just wanted to make sure.

Thanks again to all!

Is the First Edition Bloodbowl board have the same size and have the same spacing as the 3rd Edition board? If not, how different is it and what modifications would I have to do to make it the same?

(I'm trying to collect a couple boards for as cheap as possible to try to get my friends in on the game and maybe start a league, and the First Edition seems the cheapest and easiest to get - but I wasn't sure if it was compatible.)

Thanks!

Iirc, the 1st ed board is to narrow (by a square) and 1 square longer in each half. I think the squares were smaller as well, making the passing ranges wrong.
