Noob from Ohio

[jamesabels]

Hey!

Just wanted to say hi and that I'm a noob.

I found BB though the PC game and loved it, then I came across the podcasts and started to like it even more.

THEN I came across the Zlurpcast and became a fanatic, though I do not play as much as I should because I'm horrible. Haha

I have messed with Humans, Orcs and Skaven. I'm ok with offense most of the time but I'm horrible at defense, I just picked up the coach assistant app for the Iphone so that might help me make some more informed blocks but its more of a position problem with me than knowing how to roll or assist.

I know its super noobie but people online get me with the classic cage and for some reason I just cant seem to break it with my Skaven.

I think my team pick is good, I followed advice from Three Die Block for my initial team, just never seem to know how to defend in a preemptive manner I guess.

Anyways peace out for now!

G-DUB TO THE FREE DUB!

He said he was working on some team with Space Marans and Tyraneeds or something...

Woops sorry, been busy the last few days.

I'm from around Xenia/Yellow Springs area, in Greene County.

Pretty much a wasteland of farmland out here, we have one store in YS that does MTG and some DnD but they are pretty small and mostly a comic shop. I think the closest bigger store is about 25-30 miles out and that is Bookery Fantasy but I'm not sure if they do BB. I know they do a lot of 40k though so that might be the closest place around here. Online works for me the best due to weird and random work hours (Freelance Artist) I may be starting work at 9am one day and 3am the next. The game is pretty good but I have been messing around a little with the idea of the Java based games or an email game or something. Actually Google Wave has worked very well for some DnD play groups. I wonder if any coders here could code up a BB dice roller extension for Wave. or even a Plugin to display the pitch! that would really tie the social aspect into the online game
