I love this game! I'm a new convert to Blood Bowl, playing my first tabletop contest in September 2005 and joining fumbbl in December. For me, Blood Bowl combines the tactical complexity and interest of chess with a sublime ridiculousness not usually associated with the game of kings.
By the way, if you play me, I tend to be quiet as I'm concentrating--If you want to chat, talk to to me, and I'll talk back! In fact, it's a good strategy to get me to play worse!
