Eurobowl 2025 will be in Budapest Hungary. But just as Budapest is formed from the two cities of Buda and Pest, so the eurobowl ruleset has divided Blood Bowl. Some think its unsavably terrible, some think its just awful and could, with only slightly changes, end up merely bad, and the two sides are entrenched. Despite so few having played the ruleset.
Despite much rewriting, possibly by the hand of St Stephen himself, there remains controversy. So where sane humans fear to tread, One World, One Blood Bowl will stomp about with big boots on. After all the Eurobowl ruleset sets the standard for the entire Hobby for the year, or does it? and NEEDS to be competitive, or does it? and will be copied by TOs across the globe both on Table Top and Online, unless it isn't.
So its going to be important, probably, and unwilling as I often am to court controversy, OWOBB is going to 'go there'.
I hope the discussion is as positive, balanced and productive as the ruleset itself and to this end have assembled a panel of all the talents.
PurpleChest: Plans to go to Budapest. His partner has deemed it so.
AndyDavo: Demanded this episode take place, even waved usual fee. But has he actually played the ruleset yet?
JLeav: American Stat master, spreadsheet wrangler and ruleset breaker. Will consider those compliments.
Tripleskull: Passionate defence of the aims of the ruleset expected. Actual defence of the current ruleset unlikely.
Over all this hangs the question 'Is this just an English thing?', as the rest of the World seems less bothered.
We'll certainly try to resolve it all and make everyone happy the world over. Or maybe just explain the concerns and crack a few jokes as we go. And no, none of us has played the ruleset.
This all happens Sunday 1st December 9pm UK time on
https://www.twitch.tv/purplechest it's always lovely to have an audience and live comments, feedback, judgements and abuse are all gleefully received and artlessly shoehorned into the show.
Thereafter it will appear on YouTube, Twitch Highlights and all good podcasting sites, and Apple podcasts, as soon as i get around to it Monday.
