We have had a steady stream of stars lately and the team at Get the Ref run them down and preview them for you! Afterwards, we dive into how to use some liquid green stuff, prep for Winter Mayhem, and check in with Barry over his trip to Spike!  You will have to forgive us for the audio quality for this episode - we have lots of technical issues and ended up recording over two different nights. In any case, we are happy to deliver the sounds through the interwebs!

While there was no September tournaments to catch up on, we got a weekly stream of Chaos Dwarf news from GW. Josh, Lair, Darcy, and Barry sit around the watercooler and chat about everything that has been revealed and what it might mean for your next tournament.  Along the way, we stop to talk about the Great Plains Grand Prix standings, have some unpopular opinions, and highlight some of the rosters that we would draft, roster, or retire if we were playing in the Winter Mayhem team...

This month is packed full of content!  We chat about fallout from the Chaos Dwarf announcement (3:46), we talk about the Golden Sausage with Justin and Dave (53:52), catch up with the winner of the Walleye Classic II, Mason (67:36), and get some insight into Vancouver's Spike! Tournament with the organizer, Steve Lemky (83:56). Its a super-sized episode with lots to say and more than one unpopular opinion!  Come give it a listen!

As we dwell in the glory of warmth of summer, we look back on Summerbash and look forward to the Golden sausage. Before all that, we take a cue from Dave who challenges us to come up with the best pump up songs for our favourite stars. We also take a look at the (recently completed) kickstarter from Docminiature who sent us a preview set of his reroll and sideline tokens. Come along for the ride as we sit back and chat about our local tournament scene.

We wrap up the results from Pow Town and cast our eye upon the summer tournaments that await! We start with an apology from Josh regarding his completely unsolicited and baseless opinions and quickly transition to some of the unpopular opinions that some of our listeners hold. We then have a trio of interviews from Pow Town trophy winners - Rob Wright, Owen Venance, and Cale Lemay.  Enjoy!

We start off with a little recap of the FAQ and then dive right into the world of Alberta Blood Bowl!  With the Amorical Cup around the corner and PowTown directly afterwards, we want to get into the nitty gritty and chat about what people can expect to enjoy!  Strap in!

Now that we all have Gnomes in hand, we sit and chat about our hobbying goals, excitments, and disappointments. We transition quickly to hashing out what happened at the Blood Diamond Chalice and the Alberta Classic. We also set the table for Pow Town 2024 and announce the return of the Golden Sausage. Included is an interview with Justin Gatner, the morning after a birthday celebration! To say that it impacted his memory would be an understatement.  Come, pull up a mushroom and join us for...

GNOMES, GNOMES, GNOMES!  We spend an inordinate amount of time just digging through the garden of information left to us by Grandma Wendy. How important is Trickery? Can my Woodland Fox keep the ball until the next league game... do they keep it until they DIE?!  What can you really expect from this team?  Are there some hidden treasures to be found in the upcoming SPIKE? We won't know for sure until the team releases, but that won't stop us from guessing! We also tuck into the surprise...

With the recent news of a Gnome team, we catch you up with all the information about what we know and what we don't. Then, we turn our gaze behind us at the tournaments that have been played over the last few weeks to catch you up on all the goings on. Finally, we look ahead to March Madness, the Blood Diamond Chalice, the Alberta Classic, and PowTown!  It's a great time to be a Blood Bowler!

This month, we recap the Tri-City Tussle, look ahead to using the new star players (Skitter, here we come!), discus our hobby goals, wonder how best to manage our rerolls, and generally look forward to February and beyond! Our next big tournament is the Cry Fowl Cup and you can be sure that you will find some insight into the build. We have a special first-timers interview with Jonathon Kramer to discus his impressions on playing in his first tournament and what role a good story has to...

With the NAF electing a new president soon, we wanted to highlight a candidate close to our hearts - Canada's own, Grant Hallas! Lair and Josh pick his brain about what the NAF is, what it should be, and how he wants to be a big part of its next chapter.  Read the presidential forums here: LINK Starting January 28 and going through to Feb 4, you can vote for president here: LINK (Please excuse the audio quality as we adapt to some new equipment!)

It is our 5th anniversary as a podcast! What have been the biggest changes in Blood Bowl in that time?  There has been a new edition, but that is not all! We also have particular topics that we roll into, including: Rumour Mill: Skitter! Hobby Corner: How to get started painting Rookie Mistakes: Which team do you recommend to rookies? Tourney Talk: Hammerslam Roundup w/ Chris Cameron Interview Calendar: Tri-City Tussle, Cry Fowl Cup, March Madness ADDENDUM: We forgot to mention the...

We made it to sixty!  Everyone sits back to reminise about Winter Mayhem since there isn't much to crow about in terms of new releases. Fair warning - the winners of the tournmament don't exactly make our interview eassy to listen to at work!  It does, however, give you an idea about how the weekend went.  By the time this episode tickles your stirrups, Hammerslam will be about a week away. Take a listen to get some idea of what you will be facing up against.... spoiler - bring some...

What a month it has been - at least for Lair!  Lots of trips to Edmonton, Winnipeg, Spike, and -finally- one more in Calgary.  With no further annoucements from GW, the gents spend the whole episode talking about tournaments that have come and gone and what to expect as we look to close out the year. In a word, watch for waves of vampires and team tournaments!  

What a month!  Vampires have been released, the World Cup is in the bag, the Walleye Classic has been eyed, and we can't wait to talk all about it!  We start with the Vampire roster and the ways it has changed, sift through the stars that were in the Spike Magazine, chat about the oil paints, and then dive deep into the tournament world. So throw open the coffin's cover, let the sun shine in and don't let the varglings bite!

Vampires are back from the grave and we are hear to run through the unbridled speculation! We also chat all things Krakeneye, World Cup, and primer.... the paint, of course.  At about 39:00, we shift gears to take a good look at what it means to run a league. Lair and Josh talk with Damion Gilzean from Edmonton's Renegade Blood Bowl League to compare notes on how each of the local leagues are fun and some of the ways that we keep the interest going. There's lots to hear here if you are...

Lots of bits and bobs in this episode, including a look back at Summer Bash earlier in the summer. We also talk about Bilerot, some rookie tips, a cork-centred hobby corner and a look ahead to future tournaments. Come and have a seat and listen to the mid-summer round table!

PowTown has come and gone and we wanted to sit down and chat about the weekend. How was Zolcath the Zoat?  Did Grombindal move the needle at all? Would Scott pass out from his macramae beard? That was the intention until our rumour mill section started to heat up! Gutter Bowl has been announced along with a new star player - Ivan the Animal!  We also set up our calendar to help everyone find an event that can work for them, allowing them to gain valueable points for the Great Plains Grand...

TOOT TOOT!  It's "All Hands On Deck" as we expand our co-host stable to include Barry for our hype train episode! We start the rumours with a "Who's Best" between Ripper and Grashnak and get an update on Barry's hobby challenge. We follow that up with a little talk on the ins-and-outs of the Blitz Kick-off Result in Rookie Mistakes. We then turn our attention to the tournament scene as we recap the Alberta Classic, update the Great Plains Grand Prix leaderboard, and orient ourselves towards...

We start the podcast a little bummed about not hearing about any new releases. Surely Grandma Wendy hasn't forgotten about her favourite children, right? Thats ok, because we have lots of tounraments to talk about and plan for!  We discuss the role of star players as well as the overall need for the Stunty Cup (like, at all!). Soon after, we dive into all the local tournament action which includes a Blood Diamond Chalice recap, and a prep for the Alberta Classic and - of course - PowTown. The...

We take a first look at the new Doubledrool model, express concern regarding how badly Lair is beating up on the rest of us in our star player showdown, crunch the numbers on Sneaky Git, and look forward to the Blood Diamond Chalice. Lastly, Lair teases a new piece of swag for Pow Town that you will definitely want to hear about...it requires a timely response!  Also, thank you for your patience as we examine some new technologies that will hopefully get a better product into the interwebs...

We didn't have the scheduling accumen to make sure all the interviews got into the last episode, so we decided to include them here!  First, I chat with Rob Wright, the winner of the latest iteration of the Cry Fowl Cup about High Elves and the tournament that was. Following that, Barry Gergel drops by for a hobby-related goodness. He is an exceptional local coach and hobbiest and we could ALL learn a few things from him to level up our modelling game. Enjoy!

Lair, Josh, Scott, and Darcy sit down to talk the release of Blood Bowl 3, discuss the merits of Snotlings, think about what it would be like to have an entire team of star players, and debrief the latest iteration of the Cry Fowl Cup.
