Someone tell me how it is. I have the invite, but I'm too busy installing 11GB of an MMOG I probably won't last two weeks in.

I got in, will try to remember to install this week but I promise nothing. Bad sign that they seem to have let everyone in, must not have gotten that many requests.

Prepare your dice and your team for June, MA. I think this is going to be epic!
What race are you all thinking on getting, by the way? I think I'll go Chaos for my main team.
I was wondering, who else played the real thing (tabletop) back in the days, and what was your favourite team?

I'm thinking I'll go Chaos, because as anyone who's played GW games will know, HUMANS SUCK.

Got six teams upstairs. To whet your appetite, go check out the Java FUMBBL program. Tens of thousands playing BB everyday. Join in.
I bet I'm one of the few to play Cyanide's games which got them in trouble back in the early aughts. They were fucking good so I'm pretty sure this will be fucking good, too.

Modern Angel's comment made me go poking. Looks promising for Blood Bowl. GW being general dicks and sueing them wasn't news, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_LeagueEdit: I'm sure this was old news for most of you or something. Easy now.  |

The games weren't terribly polished but they were good. The lack of a big budget showed. I mean, they had money for Starforce but...
When all's said and done, though, I'm excited almost solely because it's Cyanide and I saw what they did. I don't know if I'd be excited if they'd shunted it off to Relic or whoever.

Hm.. that interview linked said they were only going to sell it in stores. I'd always seen info indicating it was going to be an XBLA game.
I get the feeling that the Steam/XBLA mid-low priced route would be much more successful for BB, much as I love it. I'd have bought it both for PC to play with you guys (assuming a PC league) and also on XBLA for hot-seat play with friends.

Dwarfs are announced for launch, aren't they? The races didn't make the cut are Dark Elves, Vampires, Undead, Norses, Amazons, Halflings, what else? Anyway, missing races are why I am already frothing about an expansion. |

A small Dark Elf team with a fuckton of Cheerleaders was always the way to go in BloodBowl. Or Skaven.

My favourite Bloodblowl team was a Halfling team but then I've always had a soft spot for Halflings - at one time I had an Empire army entirely composed of Halflings. I even had a Halfling Steam Tank painted up like a canal boat with planting troughs on the top.
