Old world has been destroyed. Lizards have left the pitch and taken their ball home.
Nothing but Siglitzers on a team.
Gdubs get a chance to model Khorn.

Or is this one of those things where we all forget about end times and gates and stuff?

Parody version of the Old World. Where a God called "Nuffle" (NFL) rules over all and wars have been replaced with football.

Simple...you're playing back in the Old World. The game doesn't have to remain current with the times.

Erm, did Blood Bowl ever take place in the Old World? Or did it take place in the Blood Bowl universe?

Seems like they would have capitalized on it in the End Times and had the Incarnates play football against Archaon and the greatest champions and daemons of the Chaos Gods if it was the Old World.

Except support for BB during end times was...Zero.

Capitalize on game they aren't selling?

But yeah not directly in old world. More like parody version of it. Which is separate enough that just because of AOS they don't need to start messing with it.

Yeah it was always set on a bizzaro version of the Olde Worlde.

And IIRC this version was made a few years back then put on hold so it should follow all old fluff.

That being said though, they might want to include Sigmarines and whatever other new stuff they've created so later suplements might include the Age of Sigmar, at least until they give up and restore the Olde Worlde.

If you're expecting BloodBowl fluff to "Work" you're taking it WAY too seriously.

Its jut a bit of fun.
A friend of mine once built a little bar for a bar-room brawl game. Players chose races (Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Skaven, etc etc) and were given whatever number of 'Drinkers' with which to populate the bar. Each round the sent a member of their race to the bar for drinks and we'd roll a D20 to see what each miniature was drinking. Berserker Ale would have a different effect than say Bretonian Mead or a bottle of Athel Loren Peri. Fungus Brew would go down well with Greenskins (even increasing their already reduced Initiative) where the same drink would cause a High Elf to become violently ill. Eventually an all out fight would break out. People would be thrown out windows and the Troll Bouncer would rough them up if they were trying to get back in already a bit worse for ware. The bar tender would produce a blunderbuss, the Halfling cook would appear brandishing a rolling pin... Bottles, barstools, darts, would all feature in the brawl and the last team standing isn't so much declared the winner as asked to foot the bill.

The first person to ask, "what are five Night Goblins, two High Elves, three Norse Marauders, a pair of Longbeards and a bunch of Skaven doing in the same bar?" gets a slap! They're drinking of course!

That sounds like it would be awesome to play with friends and beers!

Thanks for the linkage!

Both posts exalted.

That was originally released in an old White Dwarf (from back in the days of yore when White Dwarf was good and featured fun content), which I still have somewhere around here

"And it came to pass that strange crystal Monoliths began to appear in the Nine Realms, showing hazy images of a previously forgotten 10th Realm, that of Nu-Falle, Realm of the Endless Game, and all wondered of the portent, soon the gates to Nu-Falle would open and prophets G'Jim and B'hob would be heard across the Realms"

This is, for a number of reasons, the best post I have read on Dakka Dakka for ages. Have an Exalt, my good man! And here's to having fun with our toys!

Much obliged. But the real credit goes to my friend JB.
The rules he drew up were simple and very very fun. The D20 table of drinks was inspired.

But the bar itself (the Rusty Keg) was a great little miniature olde English pub complete with a dart board, stair case, upper storey window, roaring hearth (with Halfling hot-pot) and of course a bar with a handy window at the end just like in the movies. It was about a square foot of lovingly built gaming perfection that was always a big hit when it was produced. Massive respect for he work he put into it.

I strongly encourage everyone to get a bit daft with your fantasy games and let the fun loose. Draw up a series of sporting events for an old world Olympics, or invent a "40k wacky races" game for all your mates to enter their favourite 40k vehicle (and crews) in. Who cares that the fluff would never support such a thing, the point of gaming is always to have fun.

That's not to say the Fluff isn't important. I mean I'd love to see someone rework the classic wacky races characters into 40k style racers. The Ultramarine turbo terrific landspeeder and the Chaos SM double zero mean machine. Penelope Pitstop in a sororitas Immolator and a bunch of rebel grots taking the place of the AntHill Mob in old chuggaBoom. The possibilities are endless. Throw in some "Dastardly Trick" cards and a "Wacky Events" table and It's all great material for a great night's entertainment!
