2024/04/03

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 release of

From Mayhem to the 'Slam

Get The Ref! - Alberta"s Blood Bowl Roundup ·

2023/12/02

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 armour! Enjoy

2023/07/04

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 Prix!

The Promise of May

Get The Ref! - Alberta"s Blood Bowl Roundup ·

2023/05/03

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 latter

Now that we know about the Dungeonbowl expansion, the 2022 Almanac (with the star player expansion), and the November FAQ/Designer's commentary... well, there is a lot to talk about!
