Learning to love Blood Bowl 7s, by Jip Bar tabs, vehicle repair bills, radiation, vegetables, crazy exes. These are all things that are better in small amounts. After six-months of playing Norse in preparation for the NAFC, I found myself saying “oh great, looks like I’m playing Blood Bowl 7s…” with alarming regularity, having watched …

OK, so this is quite an emotional moment for me. Not up there with my wedding, or the birth of my children, but in terms of Blood Bowl this is alongside reffing at the World Cup or winning my first tournament (both good things). This is why I am indulging myself by writing a personal …
