Yeah. Amazon likes to taunt me like that. It’s purely a config issue. I’m still toying with the parameters of the ad to find something I like.

I understand that they have changed quite a bit since then. They're available as a free download from the evil empire (not Microsoft, the other one). Dig out the figs and we'll have a game.

I still have a great big box of Blood Bowl somewhere, plastic figurines and Astrogranite (styrofoam) playing field included. I wonder if the rules have changed much in the last 20ish years.

As always, you’re right, Mr Smarty Pants. White Dwarf was started by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, who went on to found Games Workshop.

And, yes, Elves are crap at Blood Bowl.

This rolling ones at critical junctures thing seems to be fairly typical for you, Mr Slee.

I remember your bold HeroClix plans falling apart at key points due to the same behaviour.

On a side note, I find it hilarious that your blog has an Amazon ad for a Dan Brown novel. (is that anything to do with your configuration)

As far as I am aware, White Dwarf was never owned by Steven Jackson Games. There are two Steve Jacksons in the gaming industry: one in the UK, one in the US. SJG is owned by the latter, White Dwarf was owned by the former.

Somehow, I find it hard to imagine Elves being any good at Blood Bowl.
