Get The Ref! - Alberta's Blood Bowl Roundup

With the release of the High Elf team, we are now at a point where we have a complete game for the first time in many years! So, what does this swan song of a release mean for you and your tournament games? We try and tackle it all in this episode, plus we bring some specualtion as to what might come afterwards. Then, we recap the month with a look at the Great Plains Open as well as a peek at some upcoming tournaments - especially the 10th anniversary of the Blood Diamond Chalice in Edmonton. Come on over, give us a listen...and stay for some disco!

You know what they say about March... In like a lion, out like a lamb (or was that reversed?)... but in this case it is the White Lions of the High Elf roster that are being released! We talk abou the upcoming releases, delve into the murky influence of AI on Kickstarters (the link to the Big Head Chibi kickstarter is here), talk about the troll situation that GW has, and then recap the Cry Fowl Cup - complete with an interview with the winner! On the back end, we preview the Great Plains Open (among others) and release the AI generated hit song "The Four Way Four Play" in honour of the event. Come give it all a listen!

We open the month with a discussion of some recent NAF data that shows that the Orcs and the OWA are tops in both popularity and success. Should something be done?! Afterwards, we talk about the High Elf preview from GW along with our thoughts about NAF's ruling on Slann - and you are NEVER going to believe what Darcy thinks! We recap Hammerslam, update you all on the Great Plains Grand Prix standings (thanks, Shawn!), and prime you up for both the Cry Fowl Cup and the Great Plains Open. Sprinkle in a few interviews - Charles Cassier, Quinn Ashmead, and Brandon Easton - and you have yourself a tidy little bit of Blood Bowl to listen to... ...but you will be doing yourself a disservice if you come for the content and not stay for the world premiere of "The Battle Cry of Horatio!" YEE-HAW!!!

The new year brings hope to all people, and along with that hope, a plethora of gifts! GW gives us fodder for the Rumour Roundup regarding an upcoming Blood Bowl release The NAF gives us a document full of recommedations to tide us over while we await the first FAQ Team Canada welcomes Sven Drakenspear - the new captain of Blood Bowl for our country in international competitions Da Scum presents us with a new anthem to play with! (it is the last three minutes of the episode...) Big Shawn announces the winners of the Great Plains Grand Prix All that to supplement our regular offerrings as we recap Decembers's Prairie Oyster and we preview the Hammerslam in a scant few week's time. Happy New Year!

A new edition of Blood Bowl will bring changes to how we play the game in general, but it will have ramifications for those of us competing in the Great Plains Grand Prix. What can you expect? We hash it all out here for you - the Good, the Bad, and the Nurgly! Scott, Josh, Lair, and Darcy recap the month that was, including an update on the winner of Winter Mayhem, Bella Chao! Need a little refresher on what has changed? Goonhammer did a nice job of recapping the surface level changes, if not all the wigglily interactions and whether Secure the Ball is impacted by rain....because of course it is, right!?!?!
