Over the months of October and November I have been lucky enough to play a few tabletop games!
First off, I joined a friend’s Blood Bowl league. The ‘Turboleague’ is run using the Community Rule Pack (CRP), which as I understand it is a set of rules distilled from an older edition of the game, agreed upon by the community and distributed with Games Workshop’s blessing.
The only time I had previously played Blood Bowl on the tabletop was a few turns in a Games Workshop store in the 1990s, plus a few mostly unfinished tournaments in various editions of Cyanide’s fun but often broken videogame adaptations. This also meant I did not have a team, but happily my friend was willing to loan out one of his teams. And so it was that the Griffon Gate Griffons were born, a High Elf team! I’ve not previously played much of a running and passing game so this was a fun new challenge, and apparently a welcome addition to a league dominated by teams that prefer to punch than pass.
