You then go back to TTS, click Games, Workshop and the Blood Bowl 2020 Pitch should be an option. Search for Blood Bowl Table by Vergond, making sure you have the 2020 version, then click Subscribe. If you want to set it up for yourself, there are a few more steps needed, which I’ll summarise now.Ĭlick Games, then Workshop (ironically). You have to do all the moves and “state changes” yourself, so in that sense it is just like tabletop, nothing is done for you. You can drag players to their places, roll dice, show prone players, stunned, rooted, bonehead etc. Once you have downloaded and installed TTS, if you have someone you know who has it already set up, then that is all you need, and they can just invite you to a game and you can start playing. When you buy it, there is a tutorial, so I won’t cover the basics here, just the stuff I had to ask. It has various workshop downloads, either free or paid that allow virtually any board game to be played online. I paid £15, but there are frequent sales, so I should probably have paid less. So it would be great to have a way of playing demo games, tutorials, and full-on competitive games using the new rules, which is where TTS comes in. Our league (SAWBBL) has seen a massive influx of new players on the back of the new box set, as has the BB community in general, but the pandemic is limiting the amount of tabletop that can be played (to zero, usually…). Seriously, you need to see the models in person to really understand how amazing they are.This page is a how-to guide for getting going with Blood Bowl: Second Season (aka BB2020) in Tabletop Simulator (TTS).Ĭurrently, Cyanide are working on Blood Bowl 3, but just indicated that it is not due imminently, and Fumbbl volunteer devs are also working on implementing the new rules, due Q1 2021, but again it will be ready when it’s ready, and that’s cool. I can’t wait to hit the gridiron and would recommend the second season box set to Blood Bowl veterans and rookies alike. After all, it wouldn’t be fitting for the Nobel elves of Ulthuan to use common dice. If you’re anything like myself and most the players I know you’re a sucker of the team specific stuff. Of course as new and updated teams are released they will of course be released with their own pitches and dice. The usual essentials are of course included such as dice and templates. You’ll also receive a double sided pitch, with each side representing each of the teams on the box. It’s of a much higher quality than previous “box edition” rule books and will look at home on your shelf next to say the new 40K book. The rule book is full colour (that may sound like a given but us long beards remember the black and white drab hidden behind colourful covers), hardback, the paper pages are glossy and thick, the book even has a little ribbon for you to use as a bookmark. For example a Skaven gutter runner shouldn’t be as likely to make an amazing Hail Mary pass as it would be to weave its verminous way past a line of violent dwarves. Agility as a stat is now more representative of the word itself and differentiates it from passing. I’m a huge fan of this change (Yes, I have an elf team). Players now have a “Pass” stat, where in previous editions passing was incorporated into a players agility. Well, Blood Bowl season two adds a huge change to the game and with it adds a new Stat to players. Revisions have happened now and then, mostly with attempts to streamline the game and make it more accessible to new players. While the rules of Blood Bowl have changed many times in the old world they have remained mostly unchanged on the tabletop. Lets face it, if you’ve ever rolled dice, you’ve had this argument, heck, I’m willing to bet a seasons winnings you’ve started such an argument. When I tell you that this section of the book is the funniest thing Games Workshop have written in decades believe me! The deeper your knowledge of the old world the funnier you’ll find it, it even becomes “meta” with the hilarious line “Humans proved capable of starting an argument about the intent behind the rules versus the rules as written even when locked alone in an empty room”, this had me absolutely crying with laughter. The origins and history of Nuffles game is gloriously noted within the stunning hardcover rule book included in the Second Season box set.
