Welcome to the September This Month in Blood Bowl blog. Another busy month with lots of online gaming, a tabletop NAF Major tournament and plenty of new Blood Bowl related stuff!
We have added a Blood Bowl Podcast index this month listing all of the Blood Bowl listening goodness from all your favourite podcasts…
Enjoy!
Chaos Cup Result – Chicago, USA
Almost 50 coaches battled it out for the Blood Bowl Chaos Cup in Chicago, USA. Due to ongoing travel restrictions this popular event was not as highly attended as in the past. But it is great to see some top tabletop action returning in a safe way for all those taking part.
William Mayo clawed, battered and snuck his way to the top of the pile to take the converted title with his Chaos Dwarf. Congrats to William for taking the first NAF tabletop major of the year.
To see an interview with the winner, check out the link below where William is interviewed by Scott Prime (of Both Down Podcast fame) from Geekforcegeek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-st13rENejo
