Hey everyone!

PEBBL is recruiting for Season 2 as the finals are getting scheduled for Season 1.

PEBBL (Point economy blood bowl league) is a custom roster team where you get to be Games Workshop and design a team! You get to pick your starting players' stats, skills, skill progressions and traits using an intuitive drop down menu system. I make no claims of achieving perfect balance, but it takes a creative mind to create something truly broken with the tool and I welcome you to try!

This is the place to test your "what-ifs" or crazy team build ideas! Swarming chainsaws? We got em. Flying dwarves, you bet! +AV imperial nobility? In the finals!

Those interested, head over to the discord at https://discord.gg/w4VDfUCDqj and pick a role between PEBBL Coach if you would like to play in Season 2 or Explorer if you just want to see what the league is about.

New to season 2:
Alliance rosters. Instead of getting quantity points worth 0-2 of any positional, you instead get 8 positionals to build an alliance roster with a bit stricter limitations.

Design challenges. These design restrictions severely weaken your team, but you do get a benefit, and if you are creative enough, can turn it into a positive!

Breath Fire (pending fumbbl implementation) and *some* star player skills added as traits.

Example of the tool:

Hope to see you there!

Going to look in and see what fun teams I can create, I do love designing things, though I don't expect to play at all.

Season 1 we tried to test the sheet to make broken things/teams/combos
S2 is much more balanced and there doesn't seem to be any real issues. No more ST7 killers, ST4 linemen or flying dwarves without downsides

I think the main ideas seem to be
a) make something (good or bad) you've wanted to see on the pitch - say much flying players or dark souls creatures
b) edit some existing team to make it better for your own liking - See the finalist Noble rats
c) minmax some aspects, like max killing power with chainsaws and foulers
d) Trying to break the game
I think if you think its too broken, don't apply for season (you can play test matchs to see if its too much) since ppl might not like to play vs. them and rather abandon the league.
IMO most S1 actual teams were made to have some playstyle the coach likes. Carth made dauntless elves, I had funny ball playing dwarves with skills that you don't usually see, etc.
