Blood Bowl

[Grand Master Steve]

Ordinarily I would Ian but I have to work. They made me sacrifice a day off this week in order to take Saturday off to move. 

[Chase]

It's here.

[Randl]

I'm curious what the contents look like 

[Benjamin]

I'm thinking I'll be by the store tomorrow to check out the board and try to get a match in or something. Maybe I can rope in some of the Ascension players to try a real game. (Yeah, nerd burn!)

I definitely need to read through the rules if I'm going to coordinate some sort of league in the future.

I'm curious what the contents look like 

A board, 11 Humans, 11 Orks, a few templates, a fancy softcover rulebook, appropriate dice and a grassy pitch. It's solid.

Rob, you said you were looking for a particular lady. This one, she's beautiful.

If thats the original rulebook than it is no good. But the current rules are easy to get off their webpage.

The current rules on the website are incomplete, missing at least 20 pages. They give you enough to run a game.

[Benjamin]

I opened the store box today and got the dudes glued to bases. People were doing their own thing, so I read up on League rules. It does look like a bit of bookkeeping, but they tell you everything you need to do and how to derive all the figures. I'm going to make a concerted effort this week to focus on that.

[Loranus]

The rules on the Website are supposed to be the 6th Edition of the Living Rule Book  (Name of the Blood Bowl Rules). I went scouting around for info and most of what I can find is the 5th Edition Rules and mentions of how Inducements were the only major change from 5th to 6th edition. In a stab in the dark I sent an E-mail to the Games-Workshop Customer Service see what they have to say about the missing pages. They have not gotten back to me though. 

[Benjamin]

The pages are missing on purpose, so as not to duplicate too closely the rulebook you'd buy from them.

It says this in the rulebook.

[Loranus]

Really? so the Sixth Edition Rulebook come in the box set only?

[Benjamin]

The rulebook online and in the box are both the most recent edition.

One is free and incomplete. The other costs money and is complete.

[Loranus]

So If I wanted the Complete Rules I need to spend 83$ and 50$ more to buy a Team outside of Humans or Orks to play the game because the 20 something odd pages are missing. :/

$83 gets you every single thing you would want to play, but you don't need the box to play. If you don't like the Humans or Orks in the box, sell/trade those two teams towards the team you do want to play.

The ~20 missing pages all relate to running a league and fluff, from what I can tell.

You should spend all your money on this game, then read the free rulebook. In that order.

Yeah, I think I am going to pass on that one.  I think I will go with the Female Maneater from WFB.  If I cannot find a pewter one on ebay, I will have to get Chase to order me a crapcast one.

Would anyone like a Blood Bowl demo in Plainville this Thursday evening?
