Hi everyone! Sir Reil here. I just self-published an ebook on Amazon and figured I'd use my own advertising space to spread the word. Here is the link to the Amazon page:

WHAT IS BLOOD BOWL?
That's a mighty fine question. Blood Bowl was originally a board game based on the teams from a tabletop war game called Warhammer. I guess someone decided it would be fun to have these teams play football instead of shoot each other. Now it has been made into a computer game.
Have you ever played a football game on the computer and thought, 'You know, I could probably just actually go play football in real life. Why do I need a computer version?' But then thought that if the players could do stuff like jump over other players and stab people it would be a lot more interesting? And mayhaps events like crowd riots could enhance the game? And sometimes players could be seriously hurt or killed but no one will be sad like in real life? And you want the option to play with a team of monsters? Well, that's Blood Bowl.
Blood Bowl (Chaos Edition) gives a selection of twenty-three teams to choose from, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses and selection of player types. You start with a budget and can start your team with your selection of players, cheerleaders, assistant coaches, game rerolls (to redo those bad moves), FAME (the team's popularity, which can affect the amount of people at the game as well as certain game events), and a team apothecary (doctor). Then, you set up a game with another team and play! You win money after each match depending on various factors, and again for winning cups and tournaments. From there you can buy or replace players, hire more help, or equip your existing players with better gear!
I am trying to start my own invitation-only online league. Details below, accompanied by a description of each team (in progress).

WHAT IS CHAOS EDITION?
Chaos Edition is the newest upgrade to Blood Bowl. It adds three new teams to the former edition's twenty. It requires steam to run, but I believe adds some features to online play (not really sure because I haven't played the online version much).
HOW TO PLAY
There is a pdf of the Rulebook for the board game version available. These basic rules should give you an understanding of the game, though you do not really need this degree of knowledge to play the computer version: I will try and give a more relevant and shortened version of the skills and such as I develop this page.
STOMP THE YARD LINE
'Stomp the Yard Line' is the league I created online for Blood Bowl: Chaos edition'. It's invitation only so I have some control over it, but all you need to join is the password, which is 'smurfs'. You must start with a new team (no imports) and turns are restricted to 2 minutes. I welcome one and all to join, but I will remove people who are verbally abusive or otherwise harrass-y. I do not remove people for trying to injure your best players. That's part of the game.
I should note you actually need the game installed to play, and I think you might have to be on Steam. Not sure how compatible chaos edition is with the older editions, so you may be able to play with a team from Legendary edition with Chaos. I don't know yet. Give it a try and let me know.
My team is 'Da Crimzun Sheelds', an orc team. As of this writing it is the only team in the league, and its current champion.

TEAMS
There were nine teams in the original version of Blood Bowl, which has expanded to twenty-three in the latest release of Chaos Edition. Here is a quick look at each:
Each team page contains a screen shot of each player type available to that team. If you need help understanding the character screen, I made a short guide:
