Blood Bowl Beta Announced, site opened..

SirFozzie · 04-07-2009, 11:45 AM

I know I've made a proper git of myself with my fanboyism for Blood Bowl.. but they announced today that that they are taking registrations for a multiplayer beta to be released "soon" (for some value of the word "soon"), and that the main Blood Bowl site is now open.

BloodBowl

Awesome Awesome stuff. The beta of course, will be limited (humans v orcs at the human team's stadium), but I'm having a hard time waiting

Honolulu_Blue · 04-07-2009, 12:01 PM

Still looks excellent and quite promising.

SirFozzie · 04-07-2009, 12:17 PM

Yup. I like all the action shots, all the different races looking ready for battle.. and the goblin one is a chainsaw wielding looney, laughing maniacally

PurdueBrad · 04-17-2009, 07:04 AM

Anybody else get accepted into the Beta? Just curious if there are any other FOF'ers in too.

Passacaglia · 04-17-2009, 09:52 AM

I didn't. But then again, I might have forgotten to apply. Oops.

If I am in the beta, I can neither confirm nor deny I am in the beta, due to NDA

tarcone · 04-18-2009, 09:00 AM

This looks pretty awesome

What he said.

Groundhog · 04-18-2009, 09:16 PM

Well, I can confirm I'm NOT in the beta.

Eilim · 04-19-2009, 04:50 PM

To those who may or may not be in the beta, who also may or may not be considering being part of a FOFC league.. Feel free to send me a pm. *insert non-existant shifty-eyes smiley here*

MacroGuru · 04-22-2009, 05:40 AM

Got an email this morning that made my day.....

marcmoustache2 · 04-22-2009, 07:51 AM

very excited, does the multiplayer imply a GM type roll or is it intended to play each game?

KWhit · 04-22-2009, 08:20 AM

I'm happy this morning as well.

Honolulu_Blue · 04-22-2009, 08:56 AM

We need to develop a code to discuss this game without violating any NDA.

Mustang · 04-22-2009, 11:03 AM

I was grumpy, but now I'm happier this morning also.

So, is there a particular group that people that are happy can bind together as one?

sachmo71 · 04-22-2009, 01:34 PM

so is this just going to be for pc, ds, and psp?

SirFozzie · 04-22-2009, 01:44 PM

In June, the 360 version will be in September

This quote of mine may or not be true anymore.

SirFozzie · 04-22-2009, 06:10 PM

heheh.

For those of us who may or may not be in the beta, we may or may not want to set up a private league, so those of us who may or may not be in the beta may partake against other FOFCers who may or may not be in the beta.

If I were part of said beta, I would be happy with such an arrangement.

NevStar · 04-22-2009, 06:58 PM

Theoretically, if I were part of a certain beta, I'd be interested in a private league, as well.

KWhit · 04-22-2009, 08:13 PM

Yes yes. Someone should explain how the unnamed people in the beta should do that.

SirFozzie · 04-22-2009, 08:35 PM

I'm sure that someone, who may or may not be in the beta, will create a private league for other people who may or may not be in the beta, when they get home from work

.. say, may or may not be in the next hour.

SirFozzie · 04-22-2009, 09:52 PM

League is created. Name: FOFC, Password: Wombat

and hypothetically, the process is create team, leave public league, go to league search, find our hypothetical league and click apply, and enter the Hypothetical password (which should have been Hypothetical in the first place)

Honolulu_Blue · 04-23-2009, 07:39 AM

You know, fellas, our "code" really kind of sucks at the moment. Excuse me, our hypothetical code.

Icy · 04-23-2009, 06:00 PM

I just received an hypothetical email, will contact you by AIM tomorrow SirFozzie, have some things to talk about.

Groundhog · 04-23-2009, 06:12 PM

Hypothetically speaking, I may have actually received TWO e-mails with two different codes for the beta. Anyone else, in some kind of crazy hypothetical dimension, get the same?

Passacaglia · 04-23-2009, 06:35 PM

No, but does it mean I can have one of them there hypothetical jobbies sent my way?

Passacaglia · 04-24-2009, 11:39 PM

I'm downloading something now. If anyone else got two strange e-mails, I know some people who would probably like one.

BreizhManu · 04-27-2009, 12:59 AM

someone gave me a key this week-end, tried it,liked it, will probably end up buying it

Fixed.

Groundhog · 04-27-2009, 01:27 AM

dola

SOMEONE I KNOW played the heck out of this on the weekend and was impressed to bits. THIS SOMEONE I KNOW was particularily happy that most of the folks THEY played obviously had never played fumbbl or the board game, and THEY spanked the pants right off 'em.

Groundhog · 04-27-2009, 01:28 AM

double dola

THEY weren't familiar with the new rule set. Some interesting new skills, or so I hear.

Passacaglia · 04-27-2009, 08:56 AM

My hunch is that some people out there had trouble even getting a game started -- in a game like this, there's probably a lot of connection issues that need to be taken care of. But you never know -- I guess if there are problems like that, they may work themselves out, or get fixed somehow.

SirFozzie · 04-27-2009, 01:43 PM

Groundhog: Download LRB 5 from the Specialist Games site. makes interesting reading (and all the changes from LRB4 are in red)

chinaski · 04-27-2009, 11:17 PM

Its rumored I may be in the multiplayer beta.

Atocep · 06-19-2009, 03:57 PM

Pre-Orders are open now. The game goes live at 0:01 GMT+1 (6 days and 1 hour from right now).

For those that may or not be in beta, would you be inclined to maybe give a thumbs up or possibly a thumbs down?

SirFozzie · 06-19-2009, 05:19 PM

thumbs way the hell up

Atocep · 06-19-2009, 07:52 PM

Good to hear. I've got a friend that knows zero about football, but loves strategy games so I've been trying to sell him on the fact that you don't really need to know football to enjoy blood bowl.
