Get The Ref! - Alberta's Blood Bowl Roundup

Welcome to the Jungle, where Josh, Lair, Scott, and Darcy delve into the new stats from the upcomming release. The Amazons are different and we are here to tell you how. We then answer some questions from the internet, which inevitably leads to Lair confessing his undying love for Westjet. We listen to tales from Chaos Cup and look forward to our own Golden Sausage and Winter Mayhem competitions! ...

PowTown 22 has come and gone, leaving us with only memories. We talk about the tournament that was, sitting down with the champ, Steve Hall, and our adopted Canadian, Rory Donahoe. We also asked twitter for a few topics to talk about and had to juggle through a few technical difficulties. From Alberta, with love. 

So many things to look forward to!   We offer our humble opinions and wild speculation regarding the upcomming Amazon team box as well as the new star player that will be accompanying them.  Hot on those heels, we prep everyone on what you can expect when you get to PowTown, our biggest local tournament - now in its tenth anniversary year!  Many things to digest. We hash out a few roster ideas and...

This month, we jump pn the "Ask Me Anything..." bandwagon that has taken over Twitter over the last month. We combed through some of the more interesting questions and volunteered our hot takes on all of them.  We then transition to an off-site (aka dubious quality audio) series of recordings directly after the Red Deer Rumble, a one-day tournament halfway between Alberta's two major centers. Enjo...

Despite some technical glitches, we managed to salvage an episode for you all this month! We discus Mike Davis' Twitter question - what makes a great tournament?  We follow that up with a debrief of the Alberta Classic which included an interview with Scott Martin!  Finally, we chat breifly about upcoming tournaments. 

Now that the Norse roster is official and in hand, we get the overall impressions from the panel, including their hot takes on the new stars. We talk about one of our favourite awards - Best Sporting Conduct - and what it takes to win it. Finally, we finish with a recap of the Blood Diamond Chalice and look forward to the Alberta Classic.

With the new Norse team revealed, we chat about what we have seen so far and speculate heavily on what kind of new deisgn space this fan-favourite team will explore. Then, we talk about upcoming tournaments, including Edmonton's Blood Diamond Chalice! Get your horney helmets and jump in your longboats and join us!

The Cry Fowl Cup has wrapped and we are hear with a panel of coaches who have nothing else better to do than talk more Blood Bowl after playing for a whole weekend. We discuss winners, losers, mercenary rules, and where to take Horatio in the future! A very special episode indeed.

This month's episode is all about the Cry Fowl Cup - sample rosters, special rules, and possible tactics. Along with that, we start by running down some of the rumours that we have seen come across our consciousness. All in all, its looking like a fun February!

First, we chat about our Blood Bowl resolutions for 2022. Then, we recap the Festivus Bowl tournament in Edmonton this past December which includes an interview with the Champion, Jay! Finally, we look ahead to February's Cry Fowl Cup in Lethbridge - specifically introducing the available mercenaries that can play for the teams that compete!  You can find that list here: https://tinyurl.com/75u4tw...

This episode marks our three-year anniversary - and it didn't come easy!  We fought through technical difficulties just as hard as Aaron and Dylan fought to get back home. In the meantime, we dis Barik and his secret weapon, comb through the newly released FAQ, talk about winning rosters at Winter's Mayhem, and generally look forward to more Blood Bowl!

Scott, Josh, and Lair gather round to discuss all the releases that are set to hit the Blood Bowl scene by Christmas. Then Lair takes us through the Commander Cup and the Manna-Bowl from the weekend before. Finally, the boys pick apart Josh's possible Renegade squad in preparation for the Winter Mayhem team tournament upcoming in November.  Pitter patter!

Today, Josh, Scott, Lair, and Darcy pick apart the new Khorne roster...at least the part of it that is released. Then Josh sits down to talk Edmonton with Scott Martin, the organizer of the Commander Cup and Mana Bowl. We then sift through all the fiddly bits and fallout from Chaos Cup. If you aren't part of the 8 of 110, then are you even trying?

This month's episode was recorded in the back room at Showcase Comics in Lethbridge directly after the Chernobowl tournament concluded. Our normal co-hosts are all here, but are joined by the illustrious Chris Cameron and the mighty Steve Hall.  We discuss the new Scyla model, the changes to Vampires, the legitimacy of star players in tournaments, and get you caught up on all the results of all th...

Josh, Darcy, and Lair reminisce about the Hammerslam that was while Scott gets distracted by projectile vomit. Not from a trained troll, but from an untrained toddler!  Either way, we missed him!   In addition, we actually have another interview!  This time, we chat with Jack B about his SNOTLING win. That's right, folks. Jack takes us through how to navigate a 16-person tournament with nothing bu...

Can you tell that we are looking forward to playing in person? With pandemic restrictions easing, the boys chat about what they want to bring to Thor's Hammerslam, what the Alberta Grand Draft will be, and about our very first sponsored tournament - the GTR Shake the Rust Cup! GAME ON!

We start the pod off with rejoicing!  Thor's Hammerslam FINALLY has a green light to get played as a holdover from December 2019!  We then chat about the impact of the recent errata that was released. Finally, we settle into one of our favourite topics - Hobbying!  Tips, tricks, and trials that make us love the game!  

This week, we put out a request on Twitter (@ref_get) about what we should talk about this month - and thankfully, Jeffro came through!  This month, we talk about how our Roll20 mini-tournament went and our teams that we took to it. After, we start chatting about stars and their proposed roles in the new system. Hint: they are a big deal! And we definitely don't talk about Adam. Or the Old World A...

Josh has just come out of quarantine. Scott is still there. It doesn't take long, however, for the boys pull up a stump and talk about some of the rumoured new releases and send up their wish list for the upcoming Death Zone supplement. We check in on our FUMBBL league and discus Rolld20 as a possible platform for playing games in the future! 

The four of us sit around and hold a hypothetical "Braft", a mock drafting of any player you want from any existing roster. 

Josh, Scott, Lair, and Darcy gather around the fireside to chat about secret box shipments, the stars worth ordering and inducing, more tips about tournament organizing, and a general sense of longing for in-person tournament action!

Josh and Scott are joined by Darcy and Lair as we run through our twelve days of Christmas, just like our former Prime Ministers, Bob and Doug Mackenzie. We chat more than a beer in a ... tree, indeed! We run through the recently released FAQ in our Rumour Mill, introduce NAF-man, run through the four remaining God-like stars for Hammerslam, and introduce the idea of the "chainpush" to the rookies...

This month, Josh and Scott welcome Darcy and Lair to join us for a fireside chat. We gab about all the new releases, the results from Winter Mayhem, our proudest Blood Bowl moments, and compare notes on what we are looking forward to in 2021!

Not much to recap this month, but there is so very much to look forward to!  You should have a new Necromantic release, tournament results to talk about, and an entirely updated ruleset to discover - all within thirty days!  In the meantime, we have your thirsty ear drums covered with all the coolest things to look forward to. We wrap it up with a "Rookie Mistakes", tie it in a bow, and send it of...

Josh and Scott start the pod off talking about September's tournaments, spoiling some of the winners to those who weren't able to make it. We also talk about the "Prayers to Nuffle" table that is rumoured to be in the next edition and the possible impact on the tournament scene. We chat about rerolls, catch up with Ian McKinley of the "Up and Under Tale", and look ahead to Winter Mayhem.
