I probably should take my own advice and stop posting, but consider this: when the majority opinion is against what you consider "obvious", maybe its not the obvious conclusion that you claim it is.

Actually, both sides can claim to be "right". In previous and later versions of BB, the game was set in an "alternate" Old World (or no specified world). In BB 3rd ed, it was very clearly set in "the" Old World.

This 3rd ed setting was quickly decided to be too problematic, and dropped ASAP.

@whomever, nah boys, I am just trying to point out that Blood Bowl 3e explicitly states in two entire chapters of the Blood Bowl rulebook that it is set in the Warhammer world. If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, holds up a huge freaking sign that says "yes, I am indeed a duck!" then it is indeed a duck. If you don't think cabalvision or other BB sillyness could "fit" Warhammer, then that is fine, but it's not so much an argument as it is a preference. The 90's Warhammer world was an extremely silly place, but that was so very clearly before your time, so you don't "get it," just like I am sure you don't "get" a world before the internet when you couldn't just log on to a forum and bang your head against a keyboard for 30 minutes and call it an argument, lie about what Jervis Johnson said and claim that the backcopy of a Black Library novel written by some unknown editor over a decade later overrules the actual, literal words written in the actual, literal official rulebook of the game you so clearly do not understand.

Anyway, I am tired of arguing the obvious. Have fun bashing your heads against the keyboard lads.

Says the person who posted 20 times on this one topic. With the level of irony in your post the suspicion of troll is rising. However, I'll try to break it down. You know the Walking Dead? You notice that they use the same place names as the real world? See any zombies outside? There you go. Alternate universe, same place names.

Also, I remember the first edition of Blood Bowl coming out #70sbaby
