"Welcome back folks to the second season of what may have been the most chaotic and iffily orgnised blood bowl league the old world may ever have seen...
Seems like there will be COMPLETE turnover this year from last season, as all those teams dissolved into insolvency due to the unpopular health care package for players enforced by the league president Mr O'Bummer. With the vast numbers of crippling injuries, all the coaches have decided it was cheaper and easier to start afresh with new talent, and avoid diva star players (those that survived) from the previous league...."
This is the official sign up thread for THN's second blood bowl league.
Now everyone has had a chance to decide if they like the game or not, and had a bit of a mess around with some different teams, we are planning on running a slightly longer league than last time.
Our plan is to have everyone in one group, and ensure that everyone plays everyone else at least once (possibly twice if there are only a few people interested).
We'll then try and have the top 4 players at the end of the league duke it out in a playoff format.
In terms of precise details, well, we'll sort that out when we know how many players we have.
Here are the salient points and questions we want to sort out:
I'm sure ghostwolf and ronin will have some things to add.
Please state on this thread if you would: a) Like to play. b) Which edition(s) of the game you own. (c) If you would think about purchasing the other edition if the other one seems to be the one we will use.
Thank you. And remember, this will be a fun league again, and bob needs to get stomped...

Here are the salient points and questions we want to sort out:
- As last time, the league will be orchestrated by a mixture of myself, ghostwolf and ronin, in order to reduce the workload, and ensure availability.
- As last time, this will require a time commitment. - Typically between 1 and 2 hours each week (the length of a game). Some communication is required to organise games via THN. If you are unsure you can provide this, DON'T sign up. However, if you think about how much time you spend a week playing games in general, 1-2 hours isn't exactly a lot. Again, we will play 1 game a week.
- We would like to have as many people as possible playing. - We aim to be inclusive. For this reason we will use whichever version of the game allows MORE people to play. Whether that is Dark Elf Edition (DE) or Legendary Edition (LE). Ideally, we would prefer to use legendary edition, due to the greater variety of races available for play, but not excluding people is preferred. If more people can take part using DE, we will not hesitate in sticking with that. It is probably worth noting, that (as far as I know, i've been out of the country) anyone who has an electronic copy of DE who purchases LE still gets 30% off on steam, or if you dl it from cyanide's site etc. - It works out the ~same or cheaper to buy DE THEN LE with discount, as to buy LE on it's own if you are considering purchasing for this league. - You then would own both games, and be flexible.
- We will be using the cyanide league system.
- We will all be starting new TV1000 teams
- We would like as balanced a set of races as possible.
- We would like to start early december, probably with a 'bye' week over christmas.
I'm sure ghostwolf and ronin will have some things to add.
