DDave's already pointed this out on the Living Rulebook thread, but this deserves a new topic.
All sorts of goodies, check it out;

Jim and Bob sound an awful lot like a couple of Yanks

Unfortunately I've got no sound !

Still, I've escaped being caught on video anyway!
Nice to see TalkBloodBowl given a link as well.

Would anyone like to post a review of what's there? I can't look at the site from work since it just forwards me to the Macromedia download site instead.

(Why oh why do some people insist on putting all these complicated graphic stuff on websites which slow down download time?

Repeat after me: Content over form, content over form...
That is why Tom/Galak's website is so good.

I still haven't listened to Jim and Bob but the resurrection videos are quite good, and I finally have a PDF with dungeon bowl rules!!!!!

(I don't know if I should cry or laugh).
BUT THEY DID WRONG LIZARDMEN ROSTER
St 2 Saurus... Duh!
Mo 6 Skinks... Duh! Duh!
St 3 Kroxigors...

It seems they are still developing the back-end features or so, 'cos i can't log into the The Living Rulebook section (which basically is the most interesting area in the new web IMO)

For those who can't access the web, there is a Cockerel info area, named The Locker Room, there is an area about the history of BB, (basically, the same introduction appeared at the rule book intro), a Resources section, the already known BB Magazine bluff, and the multimedia section, named Cabalvision.

The design is simple, not really to amaze ...

The Locker room is a bit of a washout though and needs some serious work as the teams stats seem to be wrong for a lot of teams

Lizards
Norse
High Elves

to name but three, hopefully Mr Hall can get this fixed before too many MV8 Saurus appear and snot the Norse ST2 Catcher who doesn't have Block

so, i tried to print the rulebook, and it only printed images, big expanses of white space where there should have been words.... any idea what went wrong? is it my machine or something squirrly with the file?

The Amazons are wrong too

Unless they've changed in which case they are now basically human stats with Amazon skills.

On Jim and Bobs commentary it says next years Event will be BIGGER in which case I cant wait as i missed out on the last one

I wouldnt mind seeing the Ally rules from the next BB mag aswell,just to silence some of the people I play who seem to crave them

Jim and Bob is pointless advertising, and they sound like Zaphod Beeblebrox from the "Hitch Hiker's guide to the galaxy" TV and Radio series.

Downloading the longest of the videos now.

Will wait for the Living rulebook a while until all the typos are removed. (as I'm sure they will be soon enough.)

LOL!

Now there may be certain incognito members of this board who may not appreciate that...at least if if Douglas Adams made it across the Atlantic and the reference is understood....
Chuckle...best laugh I've had all day!

Has anyone actually downloaded the Living Manual .pdf or whatever is there? Can you, Mr Anyone, send me a copy to my [url=mailto://qborreda@infonegocio.com]e-mail address[/url]??

Thanx in advance!
