I have seen alot of threads referring to 1st edition, 2nd edition, 3rd edition, etc..... Could someone please clear exactly which version is which.

I first started playing with the version with the polystyrene board, is this the 1st edition?

no that's 2nd ed.

From what i've seen of 1st ed (and that's only pictures) it was played on a board similar to the present one.

1st edition was those card players
2nd edition had the Nice astrogranite/styrene pitch
3rd was the big board with Deathzone add on
(Then there was some Gold edition rules....but nobody liked these)
Now we are in 2k1 edition( I think thats how its called)...which is the Lrb.

I believe thats the second edition. The version with the current board was the original 3rd edition, which got rereleased a few years ago in a thinner box. I stopped playing for a few years not long after this came out. I think the 4th edition was just a rules change which I gather wasn't well received. Then i guess the 2k1 revision was made and this is how the living rulebook came about. Now GW are going to rerelease bloodbowl next month (november) with the LRBv1.3 rules I believe. I am not sure what this version is going to be called, or if there will be a deathzone, since there aren't any cards and all the rules are now integrated to the one book. Guess this might go down as the 2k2 version? Not sure what will happen after the october rules revision, they might get released in an annual or another BB Compendium.

I think thats all right but may be wrong, if anyone sees some errors feel free to correct me.

Call in the Secret Police, there's someone called Zy-Nox claiming there was such a thing as the Gold Edition. He knows too much and must be eliminated.

What about that game Kerrunch!, or whatever it was called? How does that fit in?

Wasn't that a similar thing to heroquest and space crusade?

Not entirly sure on that one.

Kerrunch = "Blood Bowl Lite" or "Blood Bowl for Idiots"

Wasn't a real edition.

Blood Bowl for Idiots, maybe we should have used that at spiky seems it would have fitted better ;]

I believe Kerrunch was one of a quartet or trio of 'entry level' game variants. There was definately a 40k one and almost certainly a WH one.

Hey, looking through some old WDs looking for the advert, I came across an old GW BB t-shirt called 'Tackle Zone'. I WANT ONE!!!
Wonder if Galak has one mothballed somewhere?

Course he has one!! He used it so many times that it just looks like a regular t-shirt now, so nobody believes him. LOL
