Welcome to episode 163, the spookiest 3DB episode released in October 2020! The fellows discuss what the future of tournaments look like the BB20 environment and talk a bit about the recently previewed BB20 boxset.  

Welcome to episode 162 where the boys pick each other's brains for some commentary around SPIKE 10 in part 1.   Part 2 devolves into a conversation about evolving the Simian into a BB2020 ready unofficial team!  This episode is nothing to sneeze at!

Welcome to the new world and we feel fine.  Chance, Drew, and Tim discuss the end of BB16 with the recent release of Spike 9.  It would be difficult to not talk about the leaks surrounding BB20, so the attempt to discuss some of the least speculative portions of the unscheduled releases.  Join us, if you would, on this magical journey.

Welcome to Episode 160!  The team discusses the recent Three Die Brawl hosted on the FUMBBL site!  In Part Two, the O.W.A. is here and Chance, Drew and Tim have a conversation about what this new team means for the Blood Bowl Community!

Our Tournament, the Three Die Brawl is now accepting registrations on FUMBBL for the 27th and 28th of June, 2020!  Swing by http://www.fumbbl.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=31448 to sign up!

The fine fellows find themselves in a wandering conversation around random mailbag questions asked over the last few months.  It may be interesting.

Chance and Drew, joined by Blood Bowl Deity Tim Lyons talk a bit about the tournament humans as they return to the 3.0 series.  

After that a new segment is born this fine spring and some general fun is had by all.

In this month's episode, Chance and Drew randomly ask each other some questions neither were prepared to answer that tangentially touch upon Blood Bowl.  Meander is very good word.  After that, they review the Goblin Card pack recently released. Listen as the metagaming commences!

Come and Join Chance and Tim as they call the most recent championship game between Drew's Gorgoth Goliaths and TJ's Steel City Wrapped Rumblers.

Chance and Drew, with Special Guest Tim, offer some advice on how to set up a new league in this ever changing world.

Chance and Drew try not to make any bone-headed mistakes as they discuss GW's Ogres Spike 8 and some of the cards they released too!

Playing catsup, Chance and Drew tackle Spike 7 and delve back into the world of the Lizardmen.  They live, they love, they talk a little strategy.  Also, some changes are happening on the show and they talk about that a bit.

Spike! magazine has covered the classic Wood Elf team, and so Drew and Chance are here to give you their takes on the latest version. Expect plenty o' crunch, fluff, salt, and all those other words that make it sound like this is a foodie podcast; but it's not! It's about Blood Bowl!

This episode brings the long awaited Halflings 3.0 tournament analysis. After that, Drew and Chance talk to the tournament organizer for the 2019 Chaos Cup! They probe the meanings and reasonings behind some of this year's changes.

It's June! That means it's time to let you all know what went down at the annual Three Die Brawl! After that, our intrepid hosts finish their look at the now official accoutrements for modern Halflings. And, as usual, they finish the show with a wrap-up of their local league and a variety of questions and tournament announcements from listeners.

The Orclahoma Bowl is over, so you know what that means... Chance and Drew tell you about everything they ate! Oh, and they mention something about the games they played, and the food must have been low on sodium because there's a lot of salt here! There's even enough left to sprinkle on the leaked Hafling team from the upcoming Spike! Magazine. It all wraps up with the usual round of local league recaps, listener mail, and tournament updates. So grab a big glass of water and settle in.

On this episode:

• Updates on Drew & Chance's training in preparation for the World Cup
• Star/Push/Skull on more cards
• Drew & Chance address some corrections
• And so much more!

This episode is being republished since we were able to recover the end of the show! Enjoy!

No, you haven't accidentally downloaded the Anime Conspiracy Podcast, it's Drew and Chance here to to chitter-chat about all things Blood Bowl. This episode they recount all of the meals that they ate while attending the Chaos Cup (and maybe talk about some games). Then they delve into their next "3.0" entry, as voted on by the Facebook fans: tournament Skaven! Lastly, they catch you all up on local league standings and answer listener mail. What more could you want?

Join Drew, Chance, and special guest Andrew as they give the second issue of Spike Magazine the ol' Pow, Push, or Skull treatment. Following that, there's a discussion of the UFF Da Bowl and GenCon tourneys.

Chance is still away, so let's travel back in time to late June 2018, shortly after the Three Die Brawl! In this episode, Drew and Chance recap what went down at the 2018 Brawl and briefly go over what they're taking to the next Midwestern tournament. Then they are joined by Tim to go over this years Braft.

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!

With the North American Midwest tournament season right around the corner, Chance and Drew share all the dirty little secrets about Three Die Brawl 2016! Up next, it's Simyin 3.0 as the lads discuss the best way to commit dirty deeds with the Simyin in tournaments! After that Chance FINALLY announces our contest winner... or is that winners? Cheering fans follows and at some point at least one chorus of Rock Me Amadeus is totally rocked. You know you want to sing along!

2015 is over yet Chance refuses to believe it so Drew helps him look forward to 2016! New Year's resolutions are offered and the lads give their (somehow both both too late and too early) impressions of GW getting back on the pitch! WE cover leagues and tournaments, still don't have a Simyin contest winner,and still manage to miss the entire month of January! Great start to the year!

Chance and Drew welcome Steve Arthurs, NAF League director and founding Simyin team member, to the show to talk about the OBBLM, the new worldwide league finder, community rosters, and the future of Blood Bowl!  Also some sidetracks, derailments and the other tangents you’ve come to know and tolerate!  Then local league coverage and Chance puts off announcing the winner of the Simyin contest until 2016!  A whole year, what a jerk.  Your ears will thank you!

In honor of the second helpings enjoyed around Thanksgiving, Chance and Drew are giving you first AND second helpings of Bretonnian tips and tactics with Brets 1.0 and 2.0!  Then they cover local leagues, crown a champion, sing some songs, do listener mail and keep their fingers crossed that it all makes sense!  Now we just need to get working on our holiday surprise!  Enjoy!

Good things come in threes, right?  Let's hope so!  Up first, 2015 Chaos Cup "I AM CHAOS" champ Michael Lewis joins Chance and Drew to grab tournament Chaos by the horns.  Next, we try to discuss the new Blood Bowl II game but then (Tokyo) drift into a *ahem* passionate discussion about the NAF's recent pseudo-acceptance of the three 'new' races - Brets, Khorne and Simyin - into sanctioned tournaments. Drew has to remind Chance that we have local leagues to cover, Cheering Fans are heard loud and clear, the occasional song is broken out into and all this happens while the lads try out a new recording system.  All this and a NEW APE CONTEST!!!  Fun on a bun! 

Hey it's #113? *shrugs* Sure. We'll go with that. In this episode, we're smack dab in the middle of the NA tournament season. Join us as we talk about past and future tournaments, how we did, and what we hope to do! Plus like a million little side topics. You'll love it.

It's time for another clash between titans. This time sees Drew's Wood Elves, the Gallifrey Gallopers, face off against Tim's Dwarves, the Chanceberg Placenames! The classic battle between bash and dash! Who will emerge victorious.

Local Blood Bowler Tim "In Your Face" Lyons joins Chance and Drew as they doom dive into Goblins 3.0 to discuss why anyone would ever bring them to a tournament on purpose.  (Answer?  Because AWESOME.) Then Chance grills them on their upcoming title tilt in Critical Cup XVIII in section #2 which also serves as a preview of our next episode - the return of our mammoth CRITICAL BOWL coverage!!!  Lastly, we dig into listener mail (which we have been saving to make it seem more impressive, shhh don't tell anyone), Tim somehow reads his own mail, league coverage happens, the theme debate continues, songs are sung, memories are made and then most of those memories are misremembered to the point or argument.  See some of you at Orclahoma Bowl in two weeks!  Not if I see you first!  Wait...

Chance and Drew kick off the new year by inviting you to a dinner slash prep session at Casa de Lyons as they plan Three Die Brawl 2015! Then, the lads crank up the Pow/Push/Skull machine to discuss allowing Custom Teams in tournaments, including the three custom teams they think are the most infamous! Then Drew brags about his #1 seed in the Critical playoffs, both guys make their predictions and put the kiss of death on some poor slob. Lastly, we run screaming across the finish line with Hawkeye League coverage, many thanks to our cheering fans, and excuses for why we don't have an 80s contest winner...yet! Hide your cats!

As a special holiday treat, we're sending you a higher quality mp3 file of our Blood Bowl carol: Here's Another Podcast

Just in time for Tronzaa, 3DB gets into the spirit of giving by handing out BB teams (from a Santa-like fan!), totally random awards to our fellow podcasts, high praise to our Top-5 Local Title Teams, and then switches over to the 'getting' part by again asking for stuff like dice, Hoshi Komi, commercials and iTunes comments!  Then a minotaur charts 4 other bigs in a game, including Morg, and we look into the playoff picture of both local leagues!  Stay after the credits for a holiday surprise...and notice I didn't say 'gift'!

Chance and Drew keep it positive this month by looking at the treasures of the Blood Bowl world!  They mention the phrase 'Top-10' quite a bit but we are pretty sure there are at least 12 treasures in there!  Then, the lads give thanks for the things about Blood Bowl they enjoy the most!  Are you sick of the niceness yet?  Local league coverage is mostly positive and then we announce a new contest!  So gather round the campfire, boys and girls, and feel the good vibrations!  Also, maybe win some stuff!

Chance and Drew return from Chaos Cup not as conquering heroes but as confused as ever!  Names are forgotten, builds are misremembered, geography is mangled, face is lost, loyalties are betrayed, revenge is threatened, and math proves to be as difficult a ever!  They probably cover local leagues at some point but, honestly, who can tell?  Remember to let us know what you think...went wrong!

Chance is back from camp but strangely just as pale!  He pouts a little about the show going on just fine without him and Drew compounds his insecurities by calling him Pauly all show!  Why?  Listen to find out!  The guys cover the ongoing Midwest tournament scene with their GenCon Bowl recap and Chaos Cup preview - and by preview we mean catty responses to other show's trash-talking, infighting, hurt feelings, and general confusion!  Both local leagues get covered, one just starting and one in the middle of the playoffs, along with Cheering Fans and our most recent contest finally has a winner!  Sit down and buckle up, dig in and geek out...or do whatever you ;like while listening!

While Chance is away, Drew will play!  Thankfully, local deity Tim agreed to step in and provide some much needed color commentary.  This episode, the guys review the recent Three Die Brawl and Drew recaps his foray into interstate travel, visiting the state of Minnesota, and providing some coverage on the first annual Uffda Bowl!  We round out the episode with some local league standings, and of course, some Cheering Fans!  Remember, Chance is the quality control guy....
