Death Zone season 3, what might be

[Regash]

An undead themed DZ3 sound about right to me.
Dungeonbowl, if ever, will be released as a standalone product, maybe even with dungeon tiles.

Wizards, as they have been mentioned in DZ2, also wouldn't surprise me much.

Probably a bunch of new star players for the new teams as well.

Am I the only one who is kind of creeped out by this flood of new stars?

Going by the straw poll I conducted over the weekend, yes.

Why would you be creeped out by new stars? In my mind, it continues to add to the evolving, growing world of Blood Bowl. (And, for that matter, speaking only for myself, I'm far less concerned about the ACCURACY of fluff than the SPIRIT and humor. I can accept the occasional goof as long as the background bits continue to make me laugh and deepen my affection for the crazy, wacky world of Blood Bowl.)

Yes! Just like WFB/40k characters.

I never ever understood the CRP thingy with max 6 starplayers a team could choose from.

More fluff, More stars, more sponsorships

[DaImp]

I am really loving the new Star Players and the new evolving Blood Bowl fluff. It's beginning to feel like the early 90s again

DZ season 3 would make sense to focus on the undead teams. They have been a bit obvious in their absence in the last 2 books.

[Regash]

Hm, I always thought the 6-stars-per-roster a good idea.
But then, rethinking it, it probably mostly goes with the quality of stars that are available for your team.
Like, let's say humans could only have two but they are superb players and goblins could have 12 but they're all a bit unreliable and crappy, like your average goblin is, they'd still be off worse.

I don't think it is the actual numbers of star players that creeps me out, no, I love the fluff about those outstanding players in the sport.
It's rather the ton of exceptionally good stars available for already very competetive teams/players, making the next of your defeats even worse.

And also, I'm just now trying to get a miniature for each of them and basically got them all and now new ones are released...

Now THAT I can agree with! GW is definitely making it harder on completists. But if it helps any, I think there will be a longer gap between DZ2 and DZ3 than there was between DZ1 and DZ2, which will give you some more time to collect before the next set of new stars appear.

[Wobert]

Yes there was a skeleton with a blunderbuss - he was Daniel Bone. There was also the skeleton Bombardier called The Mad Bomber. The latter already made a re-appearance as the guest of honour at Auld World Masters III. I do hope they don't bring too many old star back or my tournament will struggle (our theme is making a mini for an old and forgotten star).

[fire olli]

I would like to see thrud make a come back, I would also like GW to recognise slann as a team, will this ever happen?

Thrudd doesn't belong to GW, he belongs to the artist Carl Critchlow. He decides where he appears or not.

[Khar-peth]

Im on the same page but I doubt it will ever happen.
Shame, cause its a fun roster.

[Djay]

Meh, if the re-release does well enough and they finish making all of their current teams, they may very well consider making miniatures for the Slann roster. The main reason (if I remember the interview correctly) it's not supported right now is because they don't have miniatures for it.

[BillyDee]

Is there any reason not to, now they are making new models? I understand it was a no go when they had no intention of making any new figures (and the only official Blood Bowl 'figures' were the cardboard 1st edition ones), but given they are a solid part of the old fluff which the new developers seem to be embracing, then why not?
