Well I played my first two matches of the season and learned even though my dice luck has improved it seems it won't matter too much. My first match was against an Orc team Prognosis Negative and it went about as well as playing Norse against Orcs. By the end of the game the coach had inflicted 5 casualties including 2 deaths. I lost a Linedwarf and a Blitzer. Now this is the worst set back I have ever experienced starting a new team in a league setting. My worst set back being losing my entire human team to injury in preseason play and having to restart. I did not buy a Apothecary because I figured my AV 9 would give me more milage before injuries happend. I figured the worst would be a serious injury. While I rolled rather well for hitting I never got above a KO on the Injury table. I was dumb struck at the loses. Prognosis Negative ended up winning the game at 3 to 1; I also roled crap for winnings receiving only 20K.

My second match was against Grudge Match, an Underworld team. I was so thankful for this match-up after my loses. I figured that even if the underworld team managed to score some TD's I would make up for by putting the hurt on some goblins. As I have played an Underworld team before I knew what they were capable of. My defensive set up went well I think it was my dice rolling that let me down and ended up in a 1 nothing game after a few turns. Shortly after that I managed to pound the Goblins and some Skaven off the pitch and score some TD's. It turned out to be a good game for me making up for the horrible game 1 and I aquired 70K in money. A journeyman Linedwarf managed a casualty so I bought him instead of a Blitzer leaving me with 20K and I hope to earn enough for a Apothecary next match or if I can get lucky a Blitzer.

Endycarus , coach of Grudge Match, took his loss with grace. Had it been me I would have been visably sore but still managing a thankyou for the game. Then I would go off and brood like a teenaged vampire. I hate it when the bad luck comes down hard but sometimes that is just material for good gaming stories. I like Bloodbowl even though I lose about 60% of my games and I will continue to like it for a long time. Its fun even when it hurts.

Science gone wrong!

This just in!  The performance art show-piece "Science Gone Wrong" is attending a public event and will be available for autographs!  All the members of your favourite stunted, four-foot tall, pot-bellied, beer swigging ballet troupe will be on hand.  Get your picture taken with team captain, Dolly the Sheep and be amazed as she seems six years older than her birth certificate would normally indicate.  Weep at the flaming ball of burning wreckage that is Hindenburg.  You can get into a shouting match over nothing at all with the most vocal troupe member, The Internet.  Be amazed at the penmanship of Thalidomide as he signs your Science Gone Wrong memorabilia.  Bring your cash and your willingness to be amazed!

But seriously folks.  I am wondering what people are bringing to the Spike! in a couple of weeks.  I knew I couldn't really just straight up ask others what they're doing without providing some info myself.  I'm dusting off my old dwarves (and even slapping some paint on my death roller) for the event.  Without further ado, here is my list.  If you feel like you want to respond, post up a blog entry of your own and toss "Spike!" in the tags.

160k - Deathroller - Thalidomide

90k - Troll Slayer - Dr. Jekyll

160k - 2 x Blitzers - Dr. Frankenstein and Dr. Strangelove (A)

Short on rerolls.  Short a troll slayer.  Hell, just short in general!  I give you Science Gone Wrong!
