It seems like every little boy, at some point, has dreams of being a pro athlete. While the chances are slim he’ll hold onto that dream, let alone make it a reality, our interviewee today did just that. We had the chance to talk with Blood Bowl player Greeda Stinkbreath about how he made his childhood dream a reality, and about a few of the ins and outs of daily life in the Green Tide. As a goblin lineman, he doesn’t get as much glory or cablevision time as the 'bigger races', (and as a humble goblin he won’t tell you this himself) but he is often called the best goblin in all of Blood Bowl.
