Man, I didn't even know about the Legendary Edition until I checked out this thread, this may finally get me to actually pick this game up.
Please tell me Nurgle's Rotters will be in the legendary edition.
The LE adds in all remaining teams with the exception of Chaos Dwarfs as they are going the way of Squats and Space Skaven.
!vote results so far:
Team Name:
The Bell Chops (to go with the bell logo) = 1
Logo:
= 1 = 1 = 1 = 1
Team Composition:
Option 1 = 1
Option 3 = 1
Option 4 = 1
If no one wants to suggest player names I can just name them after posters in this thread in order of appearance. That way we all get a moment in the sun... or a moment of shame and pain. :P
IIRC, teams that can't field 11 players for a match receive a temporary lineman for each player under 11, right?
That would shift the importance to re-rolls over large rosters. Hmmph. It's not clear what the lineman for each team consist of, though. For example, the lineman for Lizardmen are skinks, which I wouldn't consider good candidates for being on the line.

According to LRB5 the Journeyman for each team is the 0-16 class so:
With Lizardmen it's a trade off, yeah you're getting another player who is likely to get injured, but they have dodge, which is super handy. Also, it will probably just be replacing another skink.
Rerolls are def. more important in league play, even more so the shorter the league. They skyrocket in price after the initial creation of a team, so you're probably going to have little chance to buy more than 1 down the line.
As for a name, how about the Burning Vomitoria (plural of vomitorium) for a hedonism/excess reference? We can pretend that in Warhammer, vomitoria were actually used for purging after massive feasts so that you can continue eating, as opposed to just being architectural features.
Also, man I hope the LE will have better hotseat support, I would love to play this with my wife with persistent teams.
I believe you have to buy 11 from the start yeah. No league is set up... trying to get all our players signed up first. Also, improvements to hot seat play has been listed as a feature but this IS Cyanide Studios we are talking about.

Also, turns out I'll be in Hawaii for nine days starting the 5th of October so I'm hoping to get my first match done Sunday night, commentated Monday, and uploaded before I board the plane. Going to be a bumpy first week. :P
Man I forgot how fun this game is- I just rolled a new team to practice, and inflicted 7 wounds on an elf team, winning 2-1, leveling up a blitzer who rolled snake eyes and got dodge.

The little red crosses speak deeply to me.
The little red crosses warm my heart every time I see them. Also, damn elves.
I have now noticed that I've misspelled a couple of names. I have dyslexia and it happens sometimes. It is unchangeable at this point too. You have my apologies.
I also found out my math was off and ended up not having enough left over for our 8th beastman. No worries though as in Bloodbowl we will have a chance for replacements... and promotions.

Now all that remains is for more people to !signup for playing in the Tournament.
I will cut these off Saturday, October 2nd. First opponents will be selected randomly on that date with the exclusion of my first opponent which will be whoever will be available this Sunday for our first match. I will need to have it recorded and uploaded by Monday night. I will continue to update the thread regarding that tournament on a less that adequate to play laptop I will be bringing with me.
I'm hoping for one of two things there. Either he dies match one and takes my only re-roll with him or... he becomes our start player and I live in shame this entire LP. :P
1) I bought this game just the other day on Impulse, not Steam. I ASSUME I could still participate, as the game has it's own multiplayer servers, right? I could just coordinate via Steam with the rest of y'all?
2) As I said: I bought this EXTREMELY recently. I have pretty much no experience (haven't had the time to really play at all). Would I still be a worthwhile addition to the tourney? Not sure if I'll sign up due to possible lack of time, but just checking...

This is PA, not a certain League That Shall Not Be Named. Get some practice games in beforehand, but ultimately, you should particpate and have fun.

Sadly my new PC won't even have arrived in time for this, and my current laptop is woefully insufficient, otherwise I'd sign up for this and no doubt hand someone an easy win.

I'm lykourgos in the Blood Bowl multiplayer and on Steam, pm me sometime and I will demonstrate some basic strategy for you.
Gently .
Don't play against the AI too much though, it will teach you Bad Habits.

Here's a few links that I've found helpful in learning how to play.
Good resource for effectively setting up a team as well as using/leveling the classes: http://bbtactics.com/
I've heard that Humans and Orks are the go to races for learning the ebb and flow. As PaperLuigi said, just play (against people). Learning what works and doesn't work really only takes a few matches.
For another strategy link, this is a link to the one of the better threads in the FUMBBL strategy forum, FUMBBL being where the hardcore grognards play.
So I fixed the team names. Thanks for the tip crucialityfactor, mad um "props."
Also, you guys are awesome for being so open and helpful. Ormuss, all are welcome to enter regardless of skill. This is to have fun, show off a great game that will soon be getting better, and win some prizes in the bargain. Sign them shits up if you'd like.
I'm going to post a link to the tourney sign ups on the Steam group so hopefully this will fill up quick. Otherwise I may adjust the tourney to be several games... or go on after the tourney to try our team against random online people.
I always wanted to try a demo of this to see if I liked it or not but one never chose to exsist.
So I will eagerly await some lets play videos in its steed.
If you really wanna see what the game mechanics are all about try and fine a game store that plays the TT, it won't have the basic animations etc. but its the same game play.

There's a steam group for this tourney? I didn't see it anywhere in the OP.
Just had a very strange match against a Dark Elf team comprised of 10 Linemen and 1 Blitzer. He used at least 7 of them to stack against my 3 Saurus on the line, but then twice he tried to pass right through them, and twice I got interceptions. o_O

Thank you for watching. I am hoping to have the first video up Monday night via Viddler. Anyone available Sunday evening to be my first match? Come one... no pressure.

I haven't made a steam group for the Tourney proper... yet. I posted the link as a comment to the PA Blood Bowl group. Not a whole lot of people in it but here's hoping someone bites.

According to LRB5 the Journeyman for each team is the 0-16 class so:
Chaos- Beastmen
Dark Elf- Linemen
Dwarf- Blockers
Goblin- Goblins
Human- Linemen
Lizardman- Skinks
Orc- Linemen
Skaven- Linemen
Wood Elf- Linemen
With Lizardmen it's a trade off, yeah you're getting another player who is likely to get injured, but they have dodge, which is super handy. Also, it will probably just be replacing another skink.

Oh, and the row 1, column 3 logo.
My team:
+3 rerolls, +1 fan factor
We don't have a league to join yet, right?

You're going to be a lot better served in the long run getting all the Chaos Warriors first. Plus it'll be a lot more fun watching you bash face.
