I don't really play anymore, but I've stumbled upon some news.
Some unfinished Khorne files appeared in the game files. Blood Bowl 2 Chaos Edition incoming?
Blood Bowl: A New Board Game Challengeand Competition for AI
Abstract—We propose the popular board game Blood Bowlas a new challenge for Artificial Intelligence (AI). Blood Bowlis a fully-observable, stochastic, turn-based, modern-style boardgame with a grid-based game board. At first sight, the gameought to be approachable by numerous game-playing algorithms.However, as all pieces on the board belonging to a player can bemoved several times each turn, theturn-wisebranching factorbecomes overwhelming for traditional algorithms. Additionally,scoring points in the game is rare and difficult, which makes ithard to design heuristics for search algorithms or apply rein-forcement learning. We present the Fantasy Football AI (FFAI)framework that implements the core rules of Blood Bowl andincludes a forward model, several OpenAI Gym environments forreinforcement learning, competition functionalities, and a webapplication that allows for human play. We also present BotBowl I, the first AI competition that will use FFAI along withbaseline agents and preliminary reinforcement learning results.Additionally, we present a wealth of opportunities for future AIcompetitions based on FFAI
Always, although I mostly played it in codex leagues and such, and that era seems to be over.Anyone else still a fan of Blood Bowl?
I just picked up BB2 Legendary Edition for $9 in this weekend's sale. I suck something fierce but it's a lot of fun.
Anyone else still a fan of Blood Bowl? I am pretty impressed by how clever it is (the game itself, not so much the video game adaptations).
[Pro Elves] are the cheapest of the four elven races that are available to play. Their biggest feather in their cap is their Catchers. They are by far the best Catcher in the game, being fast, average strength and starting with Nerves Of Steel. Their ability to catch a ball in heavy traffic makes the team very hard to defend against.

For their cost, probably. They really only exist to die in that team, completely unnecessary to scoring.(pro elves have the most terrible linos in the game - AUTHENTIC TRUE FACT)
