Eurobowl 2009

Team Italia is proud to announce Eurobowl 2009.

WHEN: The tournament will take place on November 7th and 8th.

WHERE: Eurobowl will be held at Admiral Park Hotel. (www.admiralparkhotel.com). The place is 20 minutes drive far from Bologna airport Marconi and 30 minutes far from Bologna city centre. The address is: Admiral Park Hotel - Via Fontanella 3 - Zola Predosa – (Bologna) To getting there, the hotel has a shuttle which can bring you from the airport to the venue for 25 euros (29 euros if the journey is between 22.00 and 6.00). The shuttle has 8 places, so it’s about 3 euros each person. Just tell me if you want the shuttle to take you to the venue.

RULES: Team tournament. 8 people for each team. Maximum 2 freebooters for each team. 8 different races for each team. In case of odd teams, there will be a freebooter team like last years. We’ll give priority to foreign coaches for the freebooter team. We’ll use the rulebook which will be the official one at September 15th. In case of LRB 5, it will be possible to play: Slann, Underworld and Chaos Pact. TR 110 with no inducements Matches: 6 rounds, resurrection Rounds: Swiss system for teams and Swiss system for players Skill progression: after rounds 1, 2, 4, 5 it will be possible to give a normal skill to a player. After round 3 it will be possible to give a “double” skill to a player. Maximum 1 skill to a single player. You can pick skill after you’ve seen who you will play against. Scoring: each victory is 1 point, each draw is 0.5 points, each loss is 0 points. Team scoring will be made adding up single player scores plus the “Team Bonus”. Team bonus consists in 1 additional point in case of team victory, 0.5 points in case of team draw and 0 points in case of team loss. For example if Ireland beats Sweden 5-3, Ireland will get 6 points (5 for single results + 1 for team bonus) and Sweden will get 3. If Ireland draws 4-4 against Sweden, both teams will get 4.5 points (4 for single results and 0.5 for team bonus)

Supersticoes...

Artigo retirado do forum da NAF

Spazzfist says:

You Know You´re a Superstitious Blood Bowler When:


....you change dice every time they roll a skull or 1
....you won't say "anything but a one", because that just invites bad luck
....when you have to dodge on the first square of an AG4 player's move - you won't count the first square out loud. Saying one will invite the dice to roll it!
....you lift your feet when driving over train tracks
....you think that when you accidentally knock down a player right before moving them, that it is a bad omen

Bolas....é tao verdadeiro.

Agora vou-me mas é deitar,chega de updates por hoje.

FeudBall

Leiam as previews,e encomendem o livro...na minha opiniao vale o dinheiro.

Deixo-vos com um pouco do enredo so para terem uma ideia:

The Plotline of Feudball


Inspired by movies such as 'The Longest Yard', 'Mean Machine', 'Salute of the Jugger' and 'Rollerball', the Feudball Novel, set in an alternate world, is written around a variety of characters the average fantasy reader can easily relate to. Using gritty detail and realism combined with wry humor, the tale takes place in the dawn of the industrial era with steam powered machinery beginning to be developed. The main role is a prisoner who ends up in a gaol that subsequently forms a Feudball team. The team of prisoners successfully play their way to the country's best tournament.
Plot synopsisOur “hero” is Alexander Bathgate, a frustrated accountant, who decides to spice up his dull life with some creative bookkeeping. He was caught by his employer in a tax audit, and promptly jailed and convicted of “stealing the King's income”. While being transferred to a maximum security facility, the transport is attacked and captured by pirates. Alex is spared the long walk on the short plank, and ends up becoming a general dogsbody aboard the pirate vessel.In his short time as a pirate, he reacquaints himself with an old passion of his – Feudball, albeit in a nautical version known as Sand Brawl. He is recaptured by the Brython navy and is mistaken for a royal prisoner. He is promptly transported to a private Brython prison (Flagstaff gaol) to await payment of a ransom. The other pirates manage to escape without their vessel.The general manager of the Flagstaff gaol is a retired Feudball referee from the mainland who desires to have a Feudball team succeed in the Brython Cup with the purpose of restoring his name. Due to his notoriety, he keeps his former identity a secret until the end of the novel. He coerces the warden of the prison into being a coach, which he does with great reluctance at first, but later gains celebrity status as the head coach and lets the success go to his head.The Feudball team, formed from the prisoner population, and led by the veteran Gordon Tanner (an ex-player convicted of arson & manslaughter,) gains in ability and moves through the local pub league and a regional tournament to participate in the Brython Cup.
The rest of the synopsis would be a spoiler and is not repeated here. If you are interested in publishing rights, please see contact details for further information.

E assim começa...

Ha bastante tempo que esta ideia de criar um blog sobre Blood Bowl me atormentava,por isso,hoje foi o dia em que o monstro ganhou vida...

Vai ser um forum escrito tanto em Portugues como Ingles,e vai orbitar em torno desse jogo que eu tanto adoro,BLOOD BOWL.

O que nao quer dizer que nao venha a ter noticias sobre outros jogos ou sistemas ;)

E,sendo este o primeiro post,lembrei-me de vos dar a conhecer um pouco do background do jogo por isso,e sem mais demoras,aqui fica o artigo em Ingles:

• Blood Bowl is a two-player, turn-based board game that typically uses 28 mm miniatures to represent a contest between two teams on a playing field. A board containing a grid overlay represents the field. Using dice, cards, and counters, the players attempt to outscore each other by entering the opponent's end zone with a player who possesses the ball.
  The "Blood" in Blood Bowl is represented by the violent actions available to players. Game play is based on a hybrid of American Football, Rugby, and ultra-violent fictional sports events such as Rollerball. Players may attempt to injure or maim the opposition in order to make scoring easier by reducing the number of enemy players on the field.
  The player races are drawn from the ranks of fantasy races and have characteristics that reflect the abilities of those races. Elves tend to be agile and good at scoring, while Dwarves and Orcs are more suited to a grinding, physical style of play. Players are also divided up into positions suited to their role on the field, including Throwers, Catchers, and Linemen.
  In league play, players gain additional skills and abilities based on their accumulation of experience points. Players face potential injury or even death on the field throughout their careers. Teams improve by the purchase of off-field staff such as cheerleaders, assistant coaches, and apothecaries.

• The Blood Bowl universe has its own fictional background story which establishes the tone and spirit of the game. Additional background exists to describe the demeanor and character of the Blood Bowl players with frequent reference to rule breaking and excessive violence in a lighthearted manner. The over-the-top nature of the game is reflected through the game's mechanics, including the use of stylized secret weapons, the ability for large teammates to throw small teammates down field (even while they possess the ball), as well as in-game effects like fans throwing rocks and injuring players prior to kickoff.
  Blood Bowl includes numerous tongue in cheek references to real life products and companies. The deity overseeing Blood Bowl is Nuffle - a pun on the pronunciation of NFL. The game spoofs at least three real-world companies, including McDonald's (McMurty's), Budweiser (Bloodweiser), and Adidas (Orcidas). Many team names in the game's background are spoofs as well such as the Orcland Raiders (Oakland Raiders) and the Darkside Cowboys (Dallas Cowboys). Famous sporting personalities are parodied as well, with the most famous (and oldest) coach in Blood Bowl's background being Tomolandry the Undying (Tom Landry), and one of the most recently added stars being the Ogre thrower, Brick Far'th (Brett Favre).
  With the advent of the 3rd edition, Blood Bowl moved closer to the traditional Warhammer Fantasy Battle world by changing the miniatures to look more similar to their Warhammer Fantasy Battle counterparts. Jervis Johnson, designer of the game, has admitted this was not the best direction for the game, and has since stated that the Blood Bowl world is similar to, but definitely not the same as, the Warhammer world.[2] Recent changes to the rules reflect this, and newer miniatures for the game look more sporty in nature.
