Looking for Blood Bowl players in Northumberland/Newcastle

Post by TexturedSun »

Hi there!

We've had a small league of 7-8 players going for around 2 years now, with 1.5 seasons and a tournament under our belts. We're all good friends who have been mates for many years - so if you are interested please be aware that we can all be a bit loud and often times offensive (to each other) - thats just the way we roll, and its all in good heart.

We're looking to maybe bolster the league with new players.

Our skill range is (on average) medium, with pretty high knowledge of the game itself.

We're looking to host another tournament in the next few months and I think it could be an ideal time for any new players to come into the fold.

We generally play at each others houses every week or two on a friday or saturday (or if people are having difficulty arranging games, then they sort a night themselves).


We also play Necromunda (sometimes) and Munchkin (regularly as a wind-down from a set of games).


Looking forward to hearing from anyone nearby.

Yes, we have an active league which generally meets in The Bridge pub (Castle Garth) in central Newcastle. More info and chat on the forum (thanks Sann). Maybe come along one night and we can discuss.

Thanks for this guys ...

Do you play often? I had a scout about the forum and it looks like you use some interesting teams outside of the core in LRB6. When does your league run from/to?

We all play with traditional teams you see - some rather staunch traditionalists haha.

Vito - We all live in Blyth or Bedlington with a couple of guys in Heaton.

Block Around the Clock seems interesting ... might try and get a couple of guys along.

This isn't the group of lads I had a few games with a few years ago is it? I remember a bloke who worked in a pub in Cramlington with ginger hair, a park ranger called Mike (Holcombe?), and a teacher who lived in Blyth somewhere?

Either way, let's meet up for a game!
