great, so that's all of them listed I believe.

Anyone know where these three came from -
Blind Phl's Evil I, Patriot Pig Skin, Curse of Mandatory?

Have we missed any other limited editions ones?

Is it ok to write down a note of what each card does under the name?

[JT-Y]

Not really.

There are a few missing. I'll check if I get time.

[lunchmoney]

That would mean people would not need to buy them for gw. Gotta agree with JT-Y on that front.

Not really.

assuming this quote is related to the first quote.

Thank you.

So to be clear I would do it like so - (FYI this example is completely made up and not a card)

Card Name: Bob's kicking boots

Timing: play before kick off at the start of the 1st or 2nd half. Lasts for remainder of half

Effect: Give a player DP skill.

So a really brief outline. Not copying things out word for word.

The reason I think this would be good to have is - a number of the cards were only released for specific tournaments and they are no longer available. And even the ones that appear in the team card packs are very limited releases. So it is very very hard for anyone to get their hands on all the different special play cards and I am sure some people would like to have a full list, sort of like how we did for CRP. Or maybe the list could be published on bloodbowl.com?

Unfortunately this is an ongoing design decision that GW are doing nowadays - has also happened in Warcry, Underworlds and Necromunda (maybe others, but these are the games I play or are played in our club).
If you want any optional cards for game X or Y, but them on release.

I doubt they'll host them, but if you look through Reddit you might find a full list there (and I mean 'might' as in 'might', I haven't gone looking for them).

Blind Phil's Evil i

This is not a GW card, but it was done in the style of one. It was one of a set of 7 cards from a series of BB7s tournaments. The winners of earlier rounds had a card designed based on them. If you look at the watermark on the Blind Phil card you'll see a picture of the coach in question (NAF name is Gnomelord).

How did you end up with only one of the set?

[Wobert]

I meant to add, I can send you images of the set of 7 . . .but I am backpacking in SE Asia for a few more months yet so there will be a delay.

To hoover up all the non-GW special play cards, why not go to the source? It's likely they were all produced by the guy from Fame+2 podcast whose name escapes me. I think his website is something like specialplaycards.com

I got 3 I believe the 3 above are from the same set. I didn't know they were unofficial however, so thank you for clearing that up. And they were given to me by someone.

[Wobert]

I don't have an issue with you having it but they were given out in sets so it seems odd they got split up.

The other cards you mentioned are not part of the Blind Phil set.

Anyway as I said I can send you the images when I get back if you want them, I have no issue with you adding the explanations on a website. I don't have any spare versions of the cards, sorry.

[garion]

the other cards you mentioned are not part of the Blind Phil set.

interesting, do you know where they are from?

[Wobert]

No idea, sorry! They are nothing to do with any set I've had made.

[TopsyKretts]

Winterbowl are inducements, not Special Play cards. I'm counting 180 official GW BB Special Play cards.

Which set is this from? Unless my eyes are failing me I couldn't find it on any of the lists.
