This would be a little regular section talking about one of those teams out there which have a lot of work behind, in the form of nice team and player bios and good match reports. For the first issue, I would propose Mezir's Funbbl Crew.

Sounds like a good idea for a regular feature. I was thinking of doing an article on making thematic teams and using my C.H.A.O.S. Pact team as a model. That way I'd be more motivated to do their bios.

There are lots of teams out there that could fill this spot. I'd like to get a silmilar thing going for players, ask the coach to provide some extra 'background info' and so on. Mostly people don't seem to know any of the players.
As Gorritakid mentioned in the channel, it would be great if we could use the Newspaper to inpire people to do more with their team & player bios.

Would be nice if teams also spent a little time making appropriate to the team pics w/ digital camera or graphics. Makes looking at the team better w/i a game and feels like you're not just playing another nearly identical team of the same race.

Im gonna hype my old Dwarfen team, the Warhammerers. Worthlessly played (since i coached em!), but atleast i wrote bioses for em all. Ran some friends, girlfriend and ex girlfrieinds throught the "Fantasy Name Generator", and so came up with the names. If only i could find the list where the names are explained

Being a non-technical expert in computer usage (I've figured out a lot of font stuff, but graphics are simply beyond my capability), I've never gotten into fancy team-pics, changing my bloodbowl pitch background, individual player pics, etc. However, I do spend a great deal of time on player bios (every player gets one upon reaching 16 spp--earlier if a first skill stat raise/double--and updated every skill thereafter, or after special games) and on team history. In addition, virtually every game I've ever played has had a (sometimes brief, sometimes novel-length) match report to accompany. I find this team/player development vastly amusing; probably stems from having played so much role-playing games growing up, reading so many books and enjoying the developed characters moreso than the throwaways, etc.
My favorite teams I've created:
Scions of Shannara
Unbelievable!
FTL Inc
Eagle's Elves
Scions of Destiny
Other teams have been just as much fun to play, but these had the most time spent on team development, not just player skill-development... |

My teams usually last until i go to the effot of sprucing up the team page with bios and piccies for the players , and then the team forgets how to play . Always happens i think nuffle laughs at my effots |
