Quarter of the way through the year!  Doesn't time fly!

So we've spent the last 3 months just picking up random games to play, nothing planned in advance, but it has meant that we've been exposed to some new stuff that might not have got a look in during a regular campaign.  We've started dabbling with Mercs, though it's probably got to the stage now where we need to get our hands on the full rules to really appreciate it. Also, we had Mantic demo'ing Dreadball at the ARBBL Open, and as a gift we were giving a copy of the Kings of War game which a couple of the lads have been getting into.

But after all that, we've still returned to a couple of old favourites.  

I'm going to be running a non-scheduled Blood Bowl league, that will run to the end of the year. Coaches can run as many or as few teams as they like, no restrictions on who plays who. End of the year, we'll have a champion team and a champion coach (combined records).

But our main focus for the next few months is going to be a return to Necromunda.  Thrashing out the house-rules on our forum, so should start in the next week or so.

If you're local, or if you're passing through, and you want a game, let us know.

In sad news, we've said goodbye to CJ, who's moved on due to promotion - don't be a stranger mate. But we've also welcomed Oly, who seems to roll lots of 1's, so fit's right in.

About us

Albion Rules Blood Bowl League. Darkson's name for our Blood Bowl rules and hence the tourny name, if I remember correctly. As everyone knew us as the "ARBBL club", we've taken that name. We are a bunch of old-school gamers, doing this for more years than we care to remember.

We play the following gaming systems and quite often generate our own spinoffs or scenarios to make the game more humorous, deadly or just to see how far our mad ideas can really be stretched.

Games played so far

• Necromunda, GorkaMorka, 40K (patrol & normal rules)
• Fantasy, Path to Glory, Talisman, Mordheim, Bloodbowl, Quest
• Warmachine / Hordes
• Various boardgames - X-wing, Blood Bowl:Team Manager, Zombiecide, Ankh-Morpork and others
• Other games, such as Fluxx, Cthulu dice and Munchkin

Willing to give any system a go.
