Most Blood Bowl coaches love their Blood Bowl. I know some hate it, some loudly, but most of us love it, love the game and love to play.
Could anything be better than spending your life travelling around playing table top Blood Bowl? Every week end? If you had the money, the time, wouldn't you? Or would it break you? In 2023 German/Ladonia coach Volkajo, long term ally and friend of OWOBB played 176 games of Blood Bowl that attracted a NAF ranking. That seems a lot to me, and indeed he claims 2025's Waterbowl will be his last ever Blood Bowl Tournament. Which makes me incredibly sad. Its a huge number, dwarfed by a load of online coaches i know, playing far more than that. But TT games happen at 3-4 a day, 176 is a LOT of days playing Blood Bowl.
In 2023 this huge number, this remarkable feat beat the three previous highs of 2019 PeterD with 166, Lycos in 2011 with 162 and MaD in 2017 with 141. But then came 2024.
Last year saw Torquemada play 183 NAF games. Which is more than 176 because that's how maths works. The nest closest was his freind GreenSkinPhil with a frankly lazy 149 games. In total 18 coaches played over 100 Table Top NAF Blood bowl games, including such well known names as Volkajo (again, but only 124) PeterD (119, he's not as young as he was) AndyDavo and BB_Jock (tied on 105) Gr4n0t4 (102, all while smiling constantly) and my Europen team mate Grave (113 herbally assisted games). all numbers courtesy of Mike Davies legendary Tableau's.
That's a lot of Blood Bowl, so does it change you? change your Blood Bowl? Break you or make you? I plan to ask.
