In Blood Bowl players die, it happens. You know it happens, I know it happens, and none of us are going to stop playing just because some lunatics decide to kill themselves for our entertainment. Sometimes however, these lunatics don't choose to play. As is the case with Skyre Slaves, and the Vampire's precious thralls.

I think about this every time I play my Vampires.

In their most recent game I had two thralls die.
Samuel L. Snackson and Dude, Where's My Thrall?

The really sad thing is that not only was this Dude's very first game, but he died in his very first steps in a Blood Bowl match. That's right, so not only was this guy forced into slavery, given a stupid nickname, then fed on by some vicious vampires, but then he's told he has to play this ridiculously violent game to help his "masters" earn glory. He steps onto the pitch, is told to stand at the LoS for Kick-off, and as his team is forming a cage around the ball, he takes one step away from the terrifying Chaos Warriors bearing down in him, he trips and kills himself. Pretty lousy way to go if you ask me.
