    Old World Concerns

    We open the month with a discussion of some recent NAF data that shows that the Orcs and the OWA are tops in both popularity and success. Should something be done?!   Afterwards, we talk about the High Elf preview from GW along with our thoughts about NAF's ruling on Slann - and you are NEVER going to believe what Darcy thinks! We recap Hammerslam, update you all on the Great Plains Grand Prix standings (thanks, Shawn!), and prime you up for both the Cry Fowl Cup and the Great Plains Open. Sprinkle in a few interviews - Charles Cassier, Quinn Ashmead, and Brandon Easton - and you have yourself a tidy little bit of Blood Bowl to listen to... ...but you will be doing yourself a disservice if you come for the content and not stay for the world premiere of "The Battle Cry of Horatio!" YEE-HAW!!!

    The New Economy

    A new edition of Blood Bowl will bring changes to how we play the game in general, but it will have ramifications for those of us competing in the Great Plains Grand Prix. What can you expect? We hash it all out here for you - the Good, the Bad, and the Nurgly! Scott, Josh, Lair, and Darcy recap the month that was, including an update on the winner of Winter Mayhem, Bella Chao! Need a little refresher on what has changed? Goonhammer did a nice job of recapping the surface level changes, if not all the wigglily interactions and whether Secure the Ball is impacted by rain....because of course it is, right!?!?!

We also update listeners on the state of the Great Plains Grande Prix, the Stunty Mafia campaign that is being headed up by Damion and Ryan, and take a peek at the upcoming calendar. Enjoy!

    Well, it happened as advertised - we recorded an episode and then the Season Three annoucement came at 8am the next morning!  Please be patient with our speculation - some of which is still accurate - and our confidence levels! Darcy was 5% certain!  Now he can be 100% certain! We also talk to Dave Sutton regarding his Summer Bash win, including how best to leverage Slann and the fouling meta that exists in Alberta.  In any case, we hope you give it all a listen - and if you have any further tips regarding how best to teach kids to paint, drop us a line!

    Summer Flings

    Ah, what better way is there to enjoy the summer than to toss random Halfling Hopefuls through the warm, breezy air and to hear their bones crinkle as they hit the ground! This month, there is a LOT of stunty talk, but also a catch up with recent tournament results! The Golden Tentacle, the Tacoma Open, the Golden Sausage... all need to be dissected! This includes special interviews with the Renegade Halfling Mafia, Dan and Damion, as well as a check in with Cale Lemay (aka The Best Canadian) and Justin Gatner! Let us lay out our picnic basket so that you can all enjoy a little sausage and, of course, stunty talk!
