Protip for skill usage: Piling On. Great skill, GREAT SKILL for monsters with Wild Animal or Blitzers (especially in conjunction with Jump Up.)

However, go to your game settings and make sure to set it as an 'Ask' skill. Otherwise, you'll end up with frustrating scenarios such as where you plow into the Beast of Nurgle and get the KO, but then your character auto-Piles and nullifies the KO.

I mean, sometimes in that scenario you get a wound instead of a KO, but just as often you'll screw the KO and leave the piece on the field.

I labored with that, half-hating Pile On for the longest time, until I figured out to configure it as an Ask. If you have a Minotaur or the like with Piling On they become a wrecking ball of death and destruction that will easily lead your team in wounds and kills.

Well, I was working on my newest team - the Schlitzburg Stealers (because some asshole already took the Blitzberg Stealers - apparently we have a few Mutant League Football fans in that game) when my Desktop shat itself.

As soon as I get Teletrann-V up and running right, I'll get it reinstalled and back to finangling.

My evenings are booked this week. Promo/real work during the day, work on the book at night. Not quite sure when I'll free up next.

and I have the Blitzburg Stealers in play now.

Waiting for approval for them to be in the league.

Also decided to make a RT League - LibArc Maniac Conference (password fuckit) for the trying of Real Time games (instead of turn based)

My primary league has been brutal to the poor Orkland Raiduz. The last few games have been Nurgle, Chaos, and Khemri, resulting in the death of my Troll, the severe injury of my rookie goblin, and three losses in all, with my only consolation being the thrashing I gave the Khemri team.

All of which turned around last night with the absolute beating I gave the Skaven team I faced last night, where I handed out a beating of Orkish proportions, nearly killing his Rat Ogre in turn one, killing another player, and running in three touchdowns to their one. My star blitzer took a smashed hip, but overall a very positive outcome, and it puts me back into the running to be on the upper end of the league.

Except my next two weeks are against the other two Ork teams in the league, who have apparently been having a MUCH better run than I have.

This is gonna hurt.

Wow, that's a fucking brutal league. Especially if the chaos teams are leveled up enough to start the claw/murderball game.

The top team is a bunch of Dark Elves who are 5-0-0, who I won't get to face, sadly.

By that point it's more of a relief than anything.

I'm actually going to be free tonight (well, there'll be a football game going in the background.)

I'll check in on Skype and see who's around.

So...

Apparently the Humble Bundle now has Blood Bowl Legendary Edition in it's list of games for this set.

Along with a buncha other games, including some Game of Thrones game.

Go pay a couple bucks, give to charity, and get Blood Bowl

Great to see more future addicts coming online.

Right now we're on a push to get the draft finished and that's eating most of my evenings. Once I'm done I'll catch up with y'all.

Well, my first season with Da Orkland Raiduz ended on a rather fitting note. In a 2-2 match that went down to the wire against wood elves, I end the season with a record of 4-2-7. Not the most illustrious, but far from the worst. I didn't win, I didn't lose, but I beat the everloving shit out of everyone I went up against, and they remembered what it was to face one of the most violent teams in the league.

WAAAUUUUGH!!!!
