Okay I will play
Welcome back!
Right now, the disciple game is full, but I will let you know if it changes!
Damn, 7 years!
So, I am thinking of setting up a Blood Bowl League. Not through Blood Bowl, but through Fumbbl. It’s free to use and should work on a variety of different systems.
Would anyone be interested?
Sure, I’m in. Word of warning: I’ve found that people can be little bitches about Blood Bowl. I assume you’ve played it before so you probably know that randomness mitigation is the name of the game. But for anyone who’s interested but hasn’t played before: please be prepared to feel bad because of dice. And make choices that might mitigate that.
Blood Bowl 1 or 2?
Neither. Fumbbl
It’s a more up to date and robust system. All the new rules and all the star players.
The link above takes you to the website. It’s a little bit of work to set up, but you have access to a lot more things, teams and stuff. And it doesn’t cost anything.
It’s just a bit… Low tech
You set up an account here.

The site says you need to own a physical copy of Blood Bowl.
It does? I never ran across anything like that before.
It’s possible it’s there to provide them some cover, but I don’t think there is anything in the game that requires a physical copy to play.
I’ve had an account for a long time though.
Color me keen to join any modestly paced 4X TBS that starts up in the future :-)
i’ve got an account. @Juan_Raigada was the lead for a couple of Blood Bowl Leagues in the past. I don’t know if he has any interest this time around. There were a few other players from Qt3, but I can’t remember who.
That would be cool. We’ll see if anyone else is interested. I don’t need to start right away, so if the issue is timing for some people,that is fine.
I like the Fumbbl version because it has a more up to date rules set, and a few extra teams (all of which have been tested a lot). Like Apes.
I have only every played in Black Box in the past, and that particular setting is full of Max Min’s teams. I really want to try the league version.
I could be interested, depending on scheduling. I’m GMT+1 and other leagues I used to late nights. This time it might be a little harder.
But you know… most likely I’ll join.
Cool beans. I will need a bit of time to wrap up the start of our Dominions 5 game though.
Gents, long mentioned, long considered, but now closer to reality:
Who is up for a Planetfall pbem game?
I’m open to all and any settings.
I favour hard/aggressive marauders, and no colonisers, but it’s not for everyone.
The game supports upto 12 players in mp iirc.
I don’t mind whatever race and class settings, they all have some OP stuff.
Me!
As am I.
I don’t have enough experience with the game to know how tough they are, but I’m always game for tougher neutrals standing between the human players.
As do I. I don’t want to play yet another AoW MP game in which players can found their own colonies/cities. It’s time to try it the other way.
Same.
I vote for @BloodyBattleBrain to be the host! I’m betting he has (by far) the most AoW:Planetfall hours logged.
I’m willing to give it a shot, although I’m no expert.
I just want to add that one of the patches enables turn-by-turn play for Gladius. (You can even play it local hotseat!) Sadly there’s no PBEM.
If you are Assembly you can basically harvest them for research and xp. As everyone else you can farm them for xp
Woot, that’s 3 so far.
If we get 4, I suggest a medium map, tough indie settings, and also the ability to play tactical combat against other humans. This could slow the game down towards the end because it basically pauses the game after each turn in tactical combat until the other player is available.
If we are 4 though, and we each play a turn every other or 3rd day, we should go by fairly quickly.
I don’t mind hosting. If we get it started this weekend, I can out in 2 or 3 turns next week (away on a course) and then a turn a day if need be.
I have 699 hours logged, about to get to 700 tonight.
Here, here!
I’ll give it a go. I haven’t gotten into Planetfall as much as I did AOW3, so maybe MP will help.
