Blood Bowl!

Blood Bowl was quite possibly the greatest board game ever made.

Not holding back any punches here... You name another board game and place Blood bowl next to it.
Blood Bowl will grab a sack full of doorknobs and proceed to beat your selection of board game into a 2 dimensional object.

If you don't know what Blood Bowl is, there follow this www.games-workshop.com/gws/con… and have a quick run down of what it's all about.

Needless to say when they made a video game of it I was of 2 minds... it would either be fantastic or a steaming pile of something best left unmentioned.
Luckily for us it was door number 1. Mostly because the game can be played exactly as the board game is played... TURN BASED!
In many ways the video game has taught me a few things about the board game and how it is supposed to play.
Mostly through interpretations of how you can read certain passages in the original rule book.

Anyway, what I really need to express to anyone who reads this drivel that I write from time to time is that I really like Blood Bowl, and I am trying to convince some more people that shelling out some hard earned cash to purchase the game would be a good idea.
Most notably I am setting up a private, invitation only internet league for my friends so we can all play together and have some (Violent animated) fun without the usual internet moron population that seems to go with online gaming.
I promise I have vetted everyone who I invite into the league, so if anyone acts like an ass I can personally deal with the issue via a cast iron frying pan!

Sooooooo if I have managed to convince you that playing with me on the internet is a good idea (And yes, I am aware of exactly how dirty that sounds) then jump on steam (store.steampowered.com/)and purchase/download Blood Bowl! (click on the install steam link at the top right.)

Then let me know you've done it so I can dish out all the necessary passwords to get into the private leagues.
