Three Die Block

Follow the coverage of the Blood Bowl World Cup.

Drew and Chance return to their 3.0 coverage of Blood Bowl teams with the Elven Alliance. They then give their thoughts on what a real Blood Bowl team of high-flying acrobats would look like and wind up with local coverage and listener mail.

This week sees the cast of Three Die Block teaming up with Both Down to give a primer to coaches going to their first ever tournament. Learn what to do and what not to do to make your first tournament experience good for you and your opponents.

In this episode, Drew and Chance respond to a listener-created idea for home field rules (as suggested by the latest rules). Drew talks about which ones he'd prefer while Chance can't help himself and offers his own spins. After that, the boys talk about what they're bringing to the next tournament and update everyone on the local league standings.

Follow Chance and Drew into a different fantasy world this week: one where Blood Bowl has a pro tournament league! After that, be the fly on the wall and eavesdrop in on a league commissioners meeting as they spitball and organize the next season of a league! Plus, all the usual fun and nonsense you've come to expect from your favorite Blockheads! (Please note: part of this episode was recorded in the wild, and we cannot control everything that everyone says.)

Putting the "chaos" back in Christmas!

In this episode, Drew and Chance recap their experiences at this year's Chaos Cup, then weigh in on the current debate regarding the tournament status of Khorne and Bretonnians, and wrap up with local league updates and their usual round of listener mail and tournament announcements.

The lads talk tournaments. Tournaments they played and tournaments they will play. Even some tournament theory! Enjoy!

Chance has returned from camp ready to rant so the lads dive into DeathZone 2!  Then they pretty much just ramble for an hour - past tournaments, future tournaments, league stuff, listener mail.  Must be the sweltering heat.  Or the summertime blues!

This is what happened. :)

The number of X chromosomes in the 3DB studio increases significantly as Drew and Chance welcome local coaches Alex and Candace to the show to discuss women in Blood Bowl!  They talk and the lads listen.  At least they try.  Then they all reminisce about how their teams are faring in their local leagues and cover other random nonsense.  Please excuse the 30-minute WoW digression.  They promise it will not happen again.  Probably.

The lads drove ten hours each way to Orclahoma and played in some tournaments. For plastic trophies. Good use of their time? Find out by listening and then questioning if that was a good use of YOUR time!

So most of our beloved Blood Bowl races got new player names.  Or new team names.  Or both.  Or neither.  What does this mean for you?  Well, for one thing, it means you get to listen to Drew and Chance rant about it for over an hour.  Actually, Chance does most of the ranting while Drew plays the voice of reason in this episode.  Then they talk about some roster called the 'Nobles' like it's a real thing or something.  In the immortal words of Weird Al, everything you know is wrong.  Just be glad we didn't name the episode, 'Say My Name'.  Peace!

Did you know a single typo is the only difference between 'Hugs Not Drugs' and Hug Snot Drugs'?  We found that out while typing this and trying to think up Ogre puns at the same time.  Luckily for you, this episode is surprising pun-free (I know, right?) as we welcome original Simyin Team Member Jason back to the show to discuss Ogres in tournament play.  Apparently, people play Ogres in tournaments or something. Then we peek behind the Commish Curtain (Is that a thing now?) as TIm, Drew and Chance meet secretly in public at Critical Hit Games to discuss the new Blood Bowl rules and which ones to begin using in our local leagues.  There was laughter, there was whining, there was a surprising amount of Treeman love.  That confusion you feel is well founded.  Stick around if you dare!  (Yup, Treeman pun.  Boom.)

This is it!  The moment at least 14% of you have been waiting for!  Chance and Drew get hold of a shiny copy of the new Blood Bowl boxed set and they...drumroll...unbox it!  Live!  Sort of.  They open it on the show and share their (mostly) unedited thoughts as they go.  Then there is much claiming of being the first American podcast to do this, that or the other.  Fact or fiction?  True or false?  Interesting or colossal waste of time?  You decide...with a not-inconsiderable amount of your time, um, well spent!

Up first the lads talk about their adventures at Chaos Cup 2016, there were dinosaurs, and sushi, and trip wires galore. Then they give the Star, Push, Skull treatment to some recent BB topics, or at least recent to them. Lastly, they do local leagues and other examples of their patented nonsense.

Chance and Drew throw down in the PodBowl on FUMBBL in a (hopefully) interactive segment!  Pull up FUMBBL, watch the match while you listen and hear the innermost thoughts of these two (supposedly) decent Blood Bowlers!  There will be blood...and complaining about dice!  Then we discuss our upcoming Chaos Cup trip, which is weird because this episode is coming out after CC is over.  Time travel (in one direction) is real!  League standings, cheering fans, and general nonsense ensues!  Your ears will thank you!

Sure, it's August, but Chance and Drew had a busy summer! In this episode, we bring back Tim Lyons to help us cover the June Iowa/Minnesota tournament series as we recap the Three Die Brawl and look ahead to the UffDa Bowl! With the next episode covering GenCon Bowl and the Chaos Cup, we are halfway through our summer tournament series! Other stuff happens as well. It always does.

Chance and Drew cover the Bretonnians yet again as they talk tournament options for the Knights and Yeomen. Then Blood Bowl odds and ends as the lads wander around verbally. Then leagues and cheering fans! We hope to see you at the Three Die Brawl this weekend!
