Ah, very interesting change, assuming it's like that. I always thought that a Vampire who failed the Blood Lust should be able to score even if he could not bite a Thrall after entering the End Zone. |

So, basically a slower Lizardman team. Right?
Even so, I like the idea. I wonder what Brawl does. |

That looks like a spin on the BB2 Bretonnian roster.
- More AG on the "peasants"
- a great extra skill on the blocker
- only 2 "blitzer" who lost P access and Dauntless
- dedicated passers bad at passing but with running pass to catch the "rugby" style of play Brets were designed to have
- Also an Ogre, which I'm really not found of, but well...
Overall I'm not sure I like it better than the Bret roster, but I'm glad they did something with it instead of forcing Cyanide to bin them entirely. |

Makes you wonder if they'll port the Kislev Slann reskin from Plasmoid too then. Which might actually happen as they don't want Slann in their game, but it doesn't mean they don't know the roster has fans. |

Projectile Vomit
Gonna go out on a limb here and guess that if a player with this skill gets the ball they eat it (or via Always Hungry with the ball carrier), then spit out the ball using a scatter template and it doesn't cause a turnover. |

Black Orc Bumf hints that Bobs might not be in Orc teams anymore? |

Speculation: I had a thought that the Underworld Challenge and Old World Classic may replace these 2 as rosters and be used in some kind of hybrid/ally team rules?
But also they sound like tournament names, so could just be for participation in an official tournament structure. |

I can't think of a single way they could finish the time wasting rule in a way that makes sense. I hope it is an optional rule.
A better rule is my own house rule for Stoppage Time: If a TD is scored in the Turn 1 receiving team's 8th turn, the Turn 1 kicking team may move the turn counter back 1 turn for each CAS and KO they suffered this half. The half will end immediately when the Turn 1 kicking team scores a TD or suffers a Turnover. |

They are key word rules, they will be linked to specific inducements. Such as the one that gives flings a chef and gobos cheap bribes |

I don’t think it needs to be that complicated?
If a team could score without rolling any dice and haven’t scored by the end of the turn, roll a d6. On a 2+ the crowd boo a lot but nothing else happens. On a 1 someone in the crowd throws something at the ball carrier. Place him prone and scatter the ball.
It’s not a rule to stop stalling. It’s just to disincentivise it and give it a extra bit of risk |

It seems that throwers are getting expensive across the board. I am not sure of the reasoning for that if they want to increase the passing game.
Even with it being more likely to succeed, running the ball in or handing off is safer. Human teams with accurate throwers and catchers with AG4 or diving catch tended to only pass if they had to. I could see the stalling rules making passing a more popular choice as you can stall in your own half and then pull an elf play to move the ball 20 squares in a turn.
One thing to consider is that taking random normal skills might be useful to save TV if there are no great choices. Often a play will have all the normal skills they need and you almost don't want them to get more unless they are doubles or stats. So this could be a way to save a little TV. |

I understand that they’re key words. I was just speculating on their uses. I don’t think they’ll be used solely for inducements, so suggested other possible uses.  |
