Fancy something different?
So it's that time of year, the Box vs Ranked discussion has reach critical mass. I think it's an ideal time to ask, do you want to try something completely different?

Grind is coming to the end of it's first season, and a group of dedicated lovely coaches and all round swell chaps have agreed to run a pre-season tour for before season 2. This is a chance for those that read and loved the rules but didn't commit to give it a try and see how you like it. Play one game and it's not for you? Fair enough. Played 3 games and you're hooked? Great, come and join in! Here's a chance for everyone to try out a unique rule-set, and see if it's for you.

What is Grind?
Grind is an alternative Blood Bowl League set in Tilea. It has vastly different rules to regular bloodbowl and a strong fluff theme seen not just in bios, but on the field.

- Skill selections are limited by prerequisites, making team building more fun and great players more unique.
- It's a short format game featuring 8 players on each team.
- Players in your squad must train hard to earn re-rolls for your side.
- It uses no inducements.
- Teams are rewarded for exacting revenge on hated opponents.
- It's run by me, and I'm a super fun guy

So come play a match against one of our top coaches and see if you like it. What have you got to lose?

Grind
*Note that the league format will be changed from that shown on the group page for the second season*

Or, alternatively, come play a match against me. A new guy who's played 2 and lost 2 ;).

This league is drizzled in awesome sauce and covered in super hundreds and thousands. That is all!
Posted by Rabe on 2014-05-02 21:33:13
Hmm... testing games... intriguing. ;-)
Posted by mister__joshua on 2014-05-02 22:28:33
Yep. I'll be expecting you to play at least 1 game. Compare it to your 7s days :)
Posted by Rabe on 2014-05-03 00:50:14
Hehe... what do I have to do? Will you walk me through the team creation process? :-P
Posted by Anzelak on 2014-05-03 01:37:35
Sure matey:

You're allowed 11 players. 8 will be fielded. You can't take any rerolls but you can take an apo.
Posted by mister__joshua on 2014-05-03 02:35:29
As Anz said, you can just buy 11 players and an apo. Hold off making a team just yet though. I'm collecting names and I'll pm peeps in a couple of weeks :)
Posted by Nightbird on 2014-05-03 03:18:23
I'm fairly sure I sent you, Rabe, a copy of the original 7's rules.
If you recall they allow for an 11 player squad, but only 7 on the field.
This sounds very similar & I'm interested, but I'm U.S. & I'm betting I'll end up the minority here which won't be much fun, but, but...I'm STILL interested as I TRULY enjoy these types of themes and odd team builds. Keep me in the pipeline sir.

Posted by cdassak on 2014-05-03 10:41:35
Well, since it is run by you and you are such a super-duper funny guy...
...include me out :P
Posted by mister__joshua on 2014-05-03 11:40:16
Oh you're playing a game cdassak or I'll stop giving you all of my brilliant and invaluable advice :-P
Posted by mister__joshua on 2014-05-03 11:43:40
@nightbird: I'll keep you informed of any US interest, but currently unfortunately you are indeed the first
Posted by stej on 2014-05-03 11:45:35
This sound like it could be great fun. Count me in!
Posted by mister__joshua on 2014-05-03 13:55:30
Awesome. I'll be making a list of folks and contacting peeps in a couple of weeks when we're ready to proceed. :)
Posted by PaddyMick on 2014-05-03 14:24:37
Count me in for a test game please, sounds good, and as I have no other league commitments now I could manage it if I like it I reckon. Would have to tap someone up for BB code stuff for the bio though I'm hopeless at that.
Seems Dwarves and Elves are under represented right now. I would have thought Elves would be most popular, with the high MA and Agility, but I guess they are not suited to 'grinding' because of the expensive players.
Posted by akaRenton on 2014-05-03 19:22:16
I have made a team, and applied (yet more humans!). Will keep them ready and wait to hear if they made the grade. Note the fluff is a work in progress and will be made all nice and pretty if they get in :D
Posted by mister__joshua on 2014-05-04 00:45:21
@akaRenton: The team is great and the fluff is ace. For this initial trial stage I'm not expecting people to come up with fluff for their teams, but if you have then fantastic!

@PaddyMick: Good good. I'm more than happy to help with Bios, BBcode, logos etc for anyone who wants to take part.

I'll PM you both in due time. Cheers!
Posted by Atari on 2014-05-04 02:12:00
Sounds like fun, I'd be interested in trialing a match.
Posted by bjarnefar on 2014-05-04 20:16:46
would like to join and would prefer humans but since there's almost only humans I guess im gonna go for something else. Im not sure about the rules, there doesnt have to be equal numbers of the races or?
Posted by mister__joshua on 2014-05-04 21:40:47
Not equal numbers at all. It's predominantly human with others mixed in. I'll contact you both when we're ready to go.
