FUMBBL, the online Blood Bowl league

Hello everybody.
Qaz hasn't been online for 5 years now but I need to contact him.
Does anyone have a contact I can use, an email, something?
Drop me a PM if you do.
Thanks!
Jan

Round 1 starts early!

The teams are disgusting.

The game will be suffering.

With Nurgle, this is the Intended Experience™.

You can watch the struggle from 18:30 Server time today, live on twitch:

We've been here before, but we are walking this road again, oh yes.

Season 3 has been here for a while. Mostly the Blood Bowliverse seems pretty settled on what's good, and what's not. What is the new newness and what is just the same old tat. We have 30 races, and likely more on the way. But what isn't settled? what is still up for grabs? what REALLY matters?

What is COOL in 2026.

Now the inherent problem with a Blood Bowl cool wall is the lack of cool within Blood Bowl (Big shout out to Purplegoo, originator of the BB Cool wall and a man that makes being smarter than 99.9% of everyone ever, appear effortlessly cool despite the handicap of looking like a human Professor Yaffle). Frankly, if you're reading this , you are probably a Nerd, and quite uncool. So who can we ask and be sure of the right answer? The clear and obvious answer is me, love me or adore me, I am unarguably cool. Though admittedly lately entering my Clarkson years, I am still cool AF.
But maybe a tad old.
By a week or two.
So I have surrounded myself with young people, Well younger, as the young are inherently cool, and also know a dank meme from a Skibidi Toilet. And therefore we feel obligated to share with you what is cool in 2026 because we know, and you don't.
The Panel:
PurpleChest: Cool like the Cambrian Period
Hargrim: Not English, has tattoos and piercings. Is therefore cool. I don't make the rules.
Hexbaron: Young, sometimes caught smiling while playing Blood Bowl. Is quite possibly the future, which is cool.
Breakmonker: If Clooney and Mutley had a lovechild that looked 21 while being 50, it would be cool, and it would be Breakmonker.

If there are cooler people in BB I don't know of them, and anyway they'd be mean to me. So what I have got is what I am going with. It'll be live at 9pm UK time on https://www.twitch.tv/purplechest on Sunday 19th July, and soon after available as a podcast and VOD in all the ways you'd expect. But in a cool unpushy way. I mean its not like we'd care of no one saw it, but that would make you all uncool.

Very possibly we're all back the week after to finish off, as 30 races is a LOT, and we might do Slann. We'll see how it goes, all three guests are free the week after so...
Possibly OWOBB's first ever 2 parter?

Our league is currently recruiting for a "Rookie Royal Rumble" style tournament for new players. It is 8 person KO with 1.5 week deadlines. The rules are mostly 2025 but with the old 2016 level up progression and Golden Goal in overtime. Come join us if you are interested!

The regular season for NWBL’s 12th Season is wrapping up, and the awards for the strongest teams, coaches, and players have been awarded - but what about the rest?

HyperboLemuR is kind enough to maintain a site with statistics for teams and players with a lot of interesting data. I have combed through to bring only the finest insights and the most notable narratives. 672 players (excluding Journeymen and Stars) took to the pitch this season, and every one has a story to tell.

Shortest Careers
But not this one - the aptly named Burgl, a Clanrat on Grimmhagen Gobhobblers showed up to the line of scrimmage in game one of the season and promptly ate a block from August Darrin, dislocating his shoulder and ending his career. He is the only player in Season 12 to log 0 turns this season.

Do-nothing Nobodies
42 players did not block a single time this season. Many of them suffered similar fates to Burgl up above, or contribute to their teams in other ways, so can be forgiven. The following ones cannot:

1. Sakura, a Snotling on 25 or 6 two 3 made appearances in 6 games for a total of 16 turns of play, and in that time has failed to earn any SPP, advance the ball, or throw any blocks. She did commit a foul once.
   
2. London Zir, a Skink on Gallos de Oyxl has a greater amount of pitch time - 52 turns in 5 games. With that extra time over Sakura, they managed to commit 2 fouls instead of just 1.
   
3. Emma Royd’s Return!, a Gnoblar on MihneSota United FC is a true-blue do-nothing, though. 5 games and 25 turns, during which she has 0 SPP, 0 blocks, 0 yards, and 0 fouls - the most turns of any player this season without incrementing those stats at all.

Other Notable Short Appearances

1. Editho Moranet of Tweaky Twig Eaters made a late season appearance, playing 1 turn in game six of the season before tripping and falling to remove themselves from the pitch. They made an impression though, earning the MVP that match.
   
2. Mickey, a ‘Ooligan on Gringotts Collections Agency has diligently shown up to every match, but not for long. With 27 turns logged in 7 games, he has the least pitch time of any player who completed a full season. He also happens to be the most efficient fouler, making sure to stick the boot in once every 1.69 turns he spent on the field.
   
3. It would not be controversial to say that stunties spend a lot of time on the bench. If we forget about them for a second, we will see that Candi, a Human Catcher on Flatwoods Smashers is the non-stunty with the least pitch time for a full season, with 52 turns in 7 games. She’s no slouch though - with her limited pitch time she has scored 5 touchdowns!

Anonymous Workhorses
Not everyone gets to be a star - plenty of Blood Bowl players show up, do their job, and go home without so much as a thank you. Foremost among them is Valentina Amara, a Dwarf Lineman for Karak Co-Eds, who has played 115 turns without collecting a single SPP - that’s 7 regulation games of Blood Bowl, and then 3 turns on top of that. There are three other players who have committed to 7 games-worth of pitch time and similarly languish in obscurity (my apologies to those who fell just short due to sloppy timekeeping at the kickoff!):

1. Ken Casey, Dwarf Lineman, Old World Anarchists - 114 turns
   
2. Anita Pruval, Chaos Chosen, Pick-Me GOATS - 114 turns
   
3. Thomas O’Malley - Noble Blitzer - Milfheim Aristocrats - 112 turns

Pillowhands
Blood Bowl is a violent game, but not everyone has it in them to get dirty, none moreso than Zayden Rime, a Saurus Blocker for Gallos de Oyxl, who has thrown 53 blocks and has yet to cause a single casualty, the most blocks of any casualty-less player.

Lazybones
There are those who work for success and those who just have it handed to them. Lukas Nalfar, a Bodyguard on RAC Oldentown Oldies and Joe E!, an Ogre Blocker on MihneSota United FC both scored touchdowns this season without contributing any yardage of their own.

Careers Cut Tragically Short
I wouldn’t want to write a blog about mediocrity without paying lipservice to greatness, so I will at least acknowledge the brightest flames to be snuffed out this season:

1. Natalia Celsus, a Werewolf on Full Mooooners earned 22 SPP this season before being killed dead in game seven - the highest season-SPP player to end their career, one way or the other.
   
2. Paxton Perith, a Human Blitzer on Beachtown Bananabois, and a Legend, was also killed. He’s the only Legend to be killed or retired this season, and therefore also the highest career-SPP (179) player to be taken down.

I just made a huge mistake/misclick on my Orc team... I accidently gave my blitzer MULTIPE BLOCK instead of MIGHTY BLOW. Is there any chance of a "crtl + z" or something? I can't believe that happened lol, I've never done that before.

sadge :(

Previous post from time I finished a 60-game squad run which was... season 13:
https://fumbbl.com/p/blog&c=Sp00keh&id=25743

Anyway I've finished a squad again

Amazon 9 / 6 / 0
No losses but yea they've lost some power in new rules. Or rather, they stayed the same and other rosters caught up
Still like them, but feel like I missed out on some results here
Held the joint racial lead for most of the season but then it was cruelly stolen away towards the end, so no Steel Gauntlet for me


Orc 7 / 4 / 4
Strong, orcs are very strong. I got +ST blitzer and +ST bigun but still didn't get a particularly good record here, screwed up a few games I prob should have won, got some bad dice maybe. Next season I will do better


Chaos Chosen 5 / 5 / 5
First time with the new roster, felt like they took 10-12 games to get going, which was partly not getting SPP and partly me not playing them much previously. They're a decent mid-tier team


Snotling 10 / 3 / 2
If I had luck in the squad's games, it was with this team
Carrying with a pump wagon (if they can catch the handoff) solves a lot of problems, especially with break tackle. Also with +AG +AG. I built AG for cage breaking, but it's also a good carrier


Overall 31 / 18 / 11 with 46.0 points (season 13 run I got 32 / 12 / 16 and also 46.0 points)
Currently ranked #11 but there's 20 days remaining
Won't have time to finish another squad, but maybe can finish another roster or 2
