Special Report: Blood Bowl at the Games Day Fanatic Seminar

The author was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Fanatic Games seminar at Games Day, which featured extensive Blood Bowl coverage.

- Jervis Johnson was running the seminar, and mentioned when questioned that Blood Bowl is the game he's written of which he is most proud.

- There are no plans for (rules for) new teams for Blood Bowl. It is likely that many, if not most or all teams will be getting a redesign in terms of models, but any such changes will be purely cosmetic. Many of the Star Players will be getting new figures too; an older, grittier Griff Oberwald was shown, as well as an older, just plain bigger Varag Ghoul-Chewer!

- Jervis discussed again his thoughts on the game after the division of Undead teams into Khemri, Necromantic and Vampire teams. One point that he mentioned was that because Fanatic games make virtually no money anyway, they don't have to concentrate on getting everything 'right' (or matching the Warhammer World) - sometimes, they can deliberately do things wrong. An example was the Ogre Cheerleader, which is wrong in every sense of the word - and this from someone whose Orc cheerleaders are nicknamed the Saggy Squad! A fantastic model, but you wouldn't want to wake up with her...

- The Blood Bowl Championship this year will not exclude Star Players. However, their costs will be modified (after positive feedback from such a ruling at GenCon) to try and make them less of a no-brainer.
