Mine is to make the interception roll after the pass. Hello? :roll:
It's a bad sign any time there is a rule that when you explain it to a newbie you get this:
"Why do you do it that way?"
"No reason. You just do it, okay?"

And don't tell me you can house-rule it if you don't like it...

More like 3rd!

SPPs for fouling. Harsher penalties are fine too.
No more Ageing!
Return to cards, even if they are weakened. The threat was half the fun.
Less broken teams like Khemri or possibly pact, Vamps.



More Blood!

Absolutely, positively, make sure that no powergaming teams exist. I understand that most games have options for cheesy combinations and such, but Blood Bowl for me is such a silly (I do NOT mean this in a bad way) concept that it should only encourage fun--not powergaming.

Example: we had ally rules in our last league and some guy with the (old) Khemri team took a gutterrunner. Dumb as hell. Play the game! Enjoy it!

Along these lines, I'd love to have a rule that punished "beardy" players. Not sure how to construct it, but I would absolutely treasure such a thing.

I couldn't agree more, intercepting a ball before it's even thrown is retarded. It makes no sense, but is only done so that Interceptions happen more. Big deal, how often is it done in the pros, particularly BEFORE they throw it? I'd rather take the chance of a fumble...

Anyway, my crusades:

1) Keep the undead as is
2) Bring back some level of chaos - a diminished use of cards, maybe
3) Stop the surge of new crappy teams (it took almost 10 years to get THREE good ones, but now were getting 1 a month!)
4) No forced pick-ups!
5) Try to force myself to spend less time thinking about gaming....

Good luck! If you figure that out, let me know! :D

My crusades are to get through all the current posts so that I can figure out which threads I want to keep up with, and to see new mini's for all the teams! I think plastic mini's similar to the new regiment and unit mini's for WFB and 40L would be fantastic!

To allow Norse blitzers to take Horns (you've seen the figures),
to allow Vamps to take RSF/Claws,

and to get 2 ST with my MBBL Vamp Lord (and then PO/MB) :evil:

Mine is to have all players reject Nuffle and see him as the fickle lame-assed god his is.

If that's an argument, then Dwarf Longbeards should be allowed horns as well 8)

Crusade #1

Post by MickeX »

My crusade is to keep any new teams from getting
a) overpowered
b) special rules that make them play very differently from vanilla BB

Hopefully, the ogre team and the vampire team will be seriously underpowered.
