Former Franchises Champions:

Dooompeak Tunnelers

Coalition: Far East Association

Season Of Creation: Season 1- Season 6

GM:  Gerdleah 1-4, Season 6, Thundnen Season 5

Coach(s): Gerdleah 1-4, Season 6, Thunden Season 5

Stadium Name: No Mans Land

Mascot: The team mascots are an act of 1 of each race. Orc, goblin, troll, skaven, chaos dwarf, hobgoblin, ogre and knoblar all combine to put on a performance combining circus, slapstick and serious drama pieces during the half time break.

Championship(s): Season 1, Season 3

Background: 

Doompeak was once a dwarven outpost. At the height of their empire they had firm control over all the mountain regions of the Old World. However, the wealth that they amassed brought envy from other races and soon they were beset across their entire empire.  So it was too at Doompeak. The colony was attacked again and again by orcs, goblins and skaven. Still they managed to resist them all until they were attacked by their chaos kin. Sensing the opportunity this presented, the remains of the orc, goblin and skaven armies attacked from underground.  The dwarven forces were overrun and few survived to escape. The 3 armies met underneath Doompeak in what looked like it would be a massive battle, with the spoils going to the victors. However, the leaders of each army agreed to a truce and decided there was a better way to settle the dispute.

They brought out the captured dwarves and played blood bowl against them. However, the dwarves were unarmoured and in turn had to play each of the races to see who won by the most. The dwarves lost every game but managed to kill some of the opposition in each game. No referee was in place for the games so the use of weapons was not banned at the end of a drive. By the end of the 3rd game the dwarves were all dead and the scores in each game decided how much of the city and treasure each race would collect. To this day the races continue this tradition to maintain peace between the 3 races to avoid future conflict.  These private matches are held below ground. When participating in MML Blitz, the match is played in the remains of an amphitheatre the dwarves had built in the city above ground.

Tiger Bay Tramplers

Coalition: Chaos Player Pact

Season Of Creation: Season 3

GM:  Ntb_99 (Season 3 –8)

Coach(s): Ntb_99 (Season 3 –8)

Stadium Name: Butetown Trampledome

Mascot: The Tramplers don’t have a mascot. Like murderers don’t. The closest thing might be a dagger, clutched in a cloven, clawed hoof. I would guess. Just imagining. Because it doesn’t exist. Or does it?

Championship(s): Season 4

Background: 

When Coach Ntb arrived in Tiger Bay his reputation had preceded him. Two street urchins immediately delivered messages for him to meet with the two ruling factions.

Tiger Bay is controlled by two groups; the mining side is handled by the descendants of Kratch Doomclaw, Warlord of Clan Rictus from Crookback Mountain, allied to the Skaven and the Underworld denizens (although such an epithet could apply to all who reside in this Nuffle-forsaken place) and the town side is handled by the Chaos Warriors and Beastmen under the control of Overlord Krazak, the self-appointed Mayor of Tiger Bay. Finally, there are the Dark Elves, who hire out their services (and their blades) to whichever of these two groups that look like they will help forward their own Machiavellian interests at any one time.

Deciding to remain impartial to the politics, Coach Ntb outlined his plans to both parties, and it was Krazak that took the bait, I mean, was enthused by the idea of a Blitz franchise team that would bring more easy prey, I mean, trade into Tiger Bay. It took a bit of persuading, and a whole lot of Warpos (warp-flavoured cheese-based snacks) to get Clan Rictus on board, and a quick sweep of the dockside brothels collared, I mean, impressed with his sales pitch, a few Delves to join.

Krazak then provided the funds and got the slave labour to build a suitable stadium as befitting Tiger Bay (in a manner of speaking), whilst Coach Ntb put the ragtag group of mercenaries through their paces. Which mostly just involved sharpening claws, teeth, horns, hooves and blades. Still, they needed sharpening.

Dunsford Do Lilly Taps

Coalition: Far East Association

Season Of Creation: Season 1- Season 6, Season 10-12

GM: Momomcphee

Coach(s): Momomcphee

Stadium Name: The Padded Room

Mascot: Whichever player is having a timeout for bad bad behaviour (eating fellow players, fans, docs etc)

Championship(s): Season 5

Background: 

Beverly Hills Beasts

Coalition: Superior Being Ring

Season Of Creation: Season 1-9

GM: Fox

Coach(s): Fox

Stadium Name: Superior Stadium

Mascot: The Golden Lion

Championship(s): Season 6, Season 9

Background:

Blood Bowl has only recently been a presence in Beverly Hills the past year, as the superior race who resides in this town thinks the sport is below them (along with everything else).  The high society members took joy in influencing how the world ran and crushing the inferior races (and sometimes their own who did not share their stature in class) both financially and culturally.  However, with the recent presidential election voting for the president they “hand picked”, Donalt Blump, their businesses thrived and they took complete control of the known civilized world (& I use the term loosely).  Now, without a challenge of showing how superior they are in society they decided to also take away the last livelihood-freedom these pathetic commoners have: Blood Bowl. As so became the Beverly Hills Beasts.

Macon Money

Coalition: Far East Association

Season Of Creation: Season 1-7

GM:  More_Shots 

Coach(s): Preach Season 1-5, More_Shots Season 6-7

Stadium Name: The Money Pit

Mascot: The Moneys’ mascot is a Fox in a business suit named Chance. The team opted against using a dollar for a mascot because not all currency is a dollar, and the team had repeated trouble with kidnapping and ransom requests.

Championship(s): Season 7

Background: 

Blood Bowl has had a presence in Macon since 2004, when a backyard game was held in Macon, with Bob’s Farm Team #7 facing the Ted’s Shack-up Shack outside a mudhole in an exhibition game. The game was to settle a dispute between two BBQ joints. It took 5 hours because the halftime show was a rib cook off. The city has since hosted the Muddy Massacre, a pre-season competition in Macon since 2006. In 2017, the media speculated about a plan involving renowned producer Jerry Borcheimer to move the team known as the Porc Products to Macon.

Rumors of a Macon expansion team surfaced again in January of 2018, pointing to a new indoor arena on the Strip as a potential home arena, although these rumors were denied by officials. In Feb 2018, an unconfirmed report stated that the league had selected leadership for a Macon team.

Ghrond Bellboys

Coalition: Chaos Player Pact

Season Of Creation: Season 8-12

GM: SeriousJest

Coach(s): SeriousJest

Stadium Name: The Mosh Pit

Mascot: Hell’s Bells

Championship(s): Season 10

Background:

At Ghrond, “The North Tower,” where Morathi, mother of Malekith the Witch King, resides and studies the ever-changing nature of Chaos in the North (https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Ghrond), Morathi decided to create a Blood Bowl team made of various chaos worshippers who would normally be at war with each other North of Naggarath. This secretly furthers her studies, but the various warriors see it as a welcome chaotic change of pace to work together with their enemies, as well as a way to honor the Chaos gods. Morathi hired Serious Jest, a respected coach with a reputation for incurring the wrath of the gods, as the final piece to this wild card of a team.  Serious Jest wears around his neck the key to Hell’s Bells, which are actually a bell and a lantern, acquired a long time ago under unknown circumstances from the Hell Pit. Serious Jest rings the bell in advance of a match (there are no practices), which causes the lantern to start spewing a self-contained inferno so bright that its glow can be seen as far as the thunderous bell can be heard. Upon hearing and seeing Hell’s Bells, all fighting immediately ceases, and a strictly respected truce goes into effect until the match is complete.

Dragon Isle Poachers

Coalition: Anit-Fur Society

Season Of Creation: Season 1

GM: RandTheMad Season 1-9, Xurpils Season 10-present

Coach(s): Xurpils 10-present, Sestonn Season 7, Berzo Season 6, RandTheMad Season 1-5

Stadium Name: The Cage

Mascot: A Dwarf Water Dragon named Draco

Championship(s): Season 12

Background:

The fact that the Dragon Isles can field a Blood Bowl team is something that many thought would not be possible. The people that reside on the Dragon Isles are thought to be poor, and barely able to survive. The outsiders might call them Poachers, hunters of exotic, powerful and rare trophies. Truth be told, they were poor, and while they did it for survival, they often went into lands they did not own to hunt, something that their neighbours would not be happy about, if they knew. In the past, long forgotten by most, they were considered the best hunters in the world, and hired across the world to hunt monsters and beasts, be it Dragons, Minotaurs, or Giants. They were wealthy, and known world wide. As the contracts dried up, empires came and went, they were left behind in history. The council decided that getting in on the new Blitz Blood Bowl league, would be just what was needed to make the Dragon Isles known, and wealthy again. They took the risk, put the remainder of the Dragon Isles wealth on the line and created the Dragon Isle Poachers. They scoured the world looking for a coach that would lead them to glory and riches. After many long months, and a lot of refusals, they found their coach. The man called himself the Protege of Rand, a person the Council had never even heard of. But they needed a coach, and he talked big. Thus Matrim The Lucky was signed as Coach of the Dragon Isle Poachers. They converted The Cage (a stadium of sorts where they used to have monsters fight to the death) into a Blood Bowl team and began preparations.

Former Franchises:

Gulf Coast Chaos

Coalition: Chaotic Player Pack

Season Of Creation: Season 1

GM: DmdoubleO

Coach(s): DmdoubleO

Stadium Name: Gulf Coast Stadium

Mascot: Chaos has decided to start the season with half a mascot. When a reporter asked him about it, Coach Dmdouble0 stated “It’s psychological warfare.” The coach gestured towards the gnarled pole with 2 sets of rusty blood stained manacles standing behind the dugout. “Our opponents always ask what’s the point of that.” Dmdouble0 smiled sinisterly as he continued, “It’s not complete. We’re gonna hang the first kill up there, for the season.”

Background:

Gulf Coasts sports commissioner grumbled at the idea of having the idyllic moniker of the Coast altered. The idea of fielding an all star team of multiple races quickly brightened her mood. She salivated over the possibilities. After a career ending injury Mistress Thorn had replaced the former unpopular Gulf Coast Sports commissioner.  She flipped through the many teams who wanted to venture into Blitz. The witch elf discarded them one after the other. No dark elves, no dark elves, no dark elves, to many elves, and then a sinister grin brightened her face. Looking at the ensemble cast kind of felt like home in the ATX.  Orange, black, and gold flooded the Coasts streets as the season drew near. The Gulf Coast welcomed entry into this new league. Blitz was no longer the whisper heard on the winds though. Now the growing sound was Chaos. 

There comes a time in all things when pour and clear vision takes over. Lionhearts have been the symbol of this for many generations. Finally now with the wars at a holt in their homelands it was time to bring this honour to the pitch. They gathered the mighty of players from all over their lands. It was time to conquer the many teams that gathered on the pitch. Time to show how big their hearts where and how mighty they can roar. Elves, Dwarves, Men and even the littlest of men all answered the call. Time go out and show the heart is all you need to win even the toughest of battles. It was time for the Lionhearts to enter Blitz!!!

Stadium Name: Molena Colosseum

Mascot: Sir Greyback riding his mighty stead waving the team flag!!

Background: 

After many years of battle and death the great wars ended. Chaos vs nurgle no side won and no side would every be the same again. From the ashes of battle great warriors came together with an idea on how to make the two sides equal and live under one flag. Blood bowl would be that aid. With the help of some former blood bowl players the two sides sat down at the long table and came together on a way to make it work. Chaos warriors, nurgle warriors, beastmen, pestigors all sat and hatched out what would become a plan bigger then any army tactic. Together the two would be so fierce and strong no one would stand in there way. Players from both army’s were picked and brought together to form the Great Warriors!

Port Reaver Outlanders

Coalition: Anti-Fur Society

Season Of Creation: Season 9

GM: davevsshark

Coach(s): davevsshark

Stadium Name: Keelhaul Arena

Mascot: Otto Ordsmedar, A drunken berserker

Background: 

A nomad for most of his life, Coach and GM DaveVsShark recently settled in the coastal town of Port Reaver, typically considered a tourist town and trading post. When approached to help bring up their Blood Bowl expansion team, he jumped at the chance. The Outlanders were formed with the same sprit of the explorers and travellers that founded Port Reaver, and look to tap into a rabid Blood Bowl fan base that has long been clamouring for their a team to call their own. With significant investment in talent and a brand new arena, The Outlanders look to show the league that a team can succeed in an area that has a population traditionally considered too transient and a market considered too small.

Northland Ice Weasels

Coalition: Anti-Fur Society

Season Of Creation: Season 10

GM:  Strange

Coach(s):  Strange

Stadium Name: Glacier Field

Mascot: Flipz the snow ferret

Background:

Coach Strange had been a longtime dedicated Norse coach. In charge of championship and non championship teams. After his previous season was less successful than he had hoped for he was about ready to hang up his whistle and retire his playbook’s. When a former player came to see him and told him that there was a franchise starting up in the Northlands looking to join the infamous Blitz league. And they wanted him to be the head of it. This team would be comprised of more than just Norse players. This would open up opportunities and plays where he previously felt lacking. With little thought he accepted and found the quickest travel route to the Northlands. Excitement filled the air when Coach Strange arrived. He was well known for his Norse teams and was reintroduced to old players he had not seen in many years. The local villages and towns accepted him as though he was a native to the land. After his tour of the people he was shown the new stadium carved out of a large glacier near the heart of the Northlands. Glacier Field, soon to be the home of the Northland Ice Weasels. Now with a new team, a new stadium, and a new hope, the Northland Ice Weasels will join Coach Strange in their quest for Blitz glory

GM: ReznorRulesYou 1-11, More Shots 12

Coach(s): ReznorRulesYou 1-11, More Shots 12

Stadium Name: Turkington Hall

Mascot: Sammy The Saw

Background: 

Stunties have long been the source of mocking and disbelief that they can do much other than desperately tossing them down the field. The Appalachian Paws have formed to combat this notion, and show the world the way the game is meant to be played!  Assembling well known talent from across the globe, The Paws began as a simple retreat in the mountains for stunty players to hone their skills. Not long after this however, word of a uniquely talented Looney reached the backwoods of Appalachia.  Seeing CabalVision tapes of this player was all the Paws needed to realize it was finally time to bring their beautiful game to the public.  The Paws now train relentlessly, trying to put a team on the field that they and the rest of the stunty nation can be proud of.  They may not win, they may not live, but they will continue on in hopes of bringing glory to #TheUnion.

North Texas Sarlacc

Coalition: Far East Association

Season Of Creation: Season 11-12

GM: HappyBubba

Coach(s): HappyBubba

Stadium Name: Jabba`s Palace

Mascot: Sammy Sarlacc

Background: 

Deep within the Dune Sea, buried within the Great Pit of Carkoon resides the fearsome and ancient Sarlacc. Famously known for swallowing the legendary bounty hunter known as Boba Fett, this creature is feared throughout the galaxy. Xenobiologists believe only the Greater Krayt Dragon of Tatooine and the Gouka Dragon of Aargonar are known to prey upon these giant organisms. Originally thought to be great beasts, the Sarlacc has now been officially classified as a giant plant. Using massive tentacles to wrap around its prey, the Sarlacc drags the unlucky vermin into the beak-like tongue, encasing the quarry in teeth to ensure no escapes. This diabolical entity has been chosen as the official mascot of the Blood Bowl Blitz Franchise, North Texas Sarlacc. The fans were offered a vote for mascot of the newly created franchise and the Almighty Sarlacc easily beat out the other 2 entries: Sarlacc (87%), Midichlorians (10%), and Jedi (3%). No actual Sarlacc were harmed during the research phase for the mascot, and the team decided it best to create a costumed mascot as transporting the great beast proved unwise. Sammy Sarlacc will be at all matches home and away! (Families may call the ticket office for opportunities to have Sammy Sarlacc surprise friends and family during any special events!)

The North Texas based group behind the new team hope to have struck gold with the merchandising opportunity for this new team, as they have a long way to go to both on and off the field to reach the summit of the MML Blitz! League. Purchasing the recently derelict location of the late Huttese gangser, the North Texas Sarlacc have renovated the location into a proper BB stadium. The team will be playing at the affectionately named Jabba’s Palace. Coached by rookie gaffer, HappyBudda11, he has been assured by the board to have full control of all team operations. Exciting times for the North Texas Blood Bowl fans, they finally have a team to cheer on.

As C-3PO famously coined, “ Victims of the almighty Sarlacc, His Excellency hopes that you will die honourably. In its belly, you will wind a new definition of pain and suffering, as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.” And that’s what this team is gunna to do to them!

Season Of Creation: Season 10-12

GM:  Chasejj

Coach(s): Chasejj 

Stadium Name: The Shakedown Dome

Mascot: A crowned goblin weighing gold in one hand and a hunk of flesh in the other.

Background: 

Long thought lost to the fog of time was the mountainous isle of Carcosa, but now, a millennia later, Carcosa is a land bled dry. What was once a thriving island kingdom home to a wise and talented people ruled by a generous Yellow King is now a dictatorship ruled by a madman. His people changed irrevocably into bloodthirsty ogres, goblins, and halflings, the kingdom’s coffers emptied and the fields left fallow in their King’s pursuit of perfect literature. Viewing the world as his vassal and enraged by a millennia of unpaid tribute the King has dragged a veteran coach from his seclusion in the wastes of Norsca to helm the Carcosa Taxmen. The taxmen cometh…and they will have their King’s tribute in gold…or a pound of flesh…

Outback Gator Wrestlers

Coalition: Violence Together

Season Of Creation: Season 10-11

GM: Hugoboss

Coach(s): Hugoboss

Stadium Name: The byou

Mascot: A huge stuffed corpse of a gator with a fist in it’s mouth. 

Background: 

Deep in the Lustria Jungle where huge dinosaurs and horrible beasts lurk a tribe of orks have taken to wrestle the most dangerous game, giant gators. Unfortunately these orks don’t entirely know the difference between a saurus and a gator so most of the time they wrangle with these lizardmen. Years of these surprise wrestling matches has occurred with crazier and crazier techniques. Oiled up skinks, thorn covered saurues, giant “gator grabbens” gloves, and THE GATOR ERASOR TECHNIQUE. Eventually both sides learned each’s others tricks and gotten bored with their competition. If wrestling got bored then what is life for a ork? Then a revelation from the ork leader changed everything. “We wrestle dem slippery gits in bloodbowl thats what we goin to do.” Bringing along several of the more dangerous gators the ork people seek to find new challenges in the bloodbowl arena and to finally figure out what “ball” is.

Neverwinter Nittany Lions

Coalition: Chaos Gods Selection

Season Of Creation: Season 10

GM:  Lukvanov

Coach(s):  Lukvanov

Stadium Name: Rot Pit

Mascot: A mutated Nittany Lion

Background: 

“I want a MML Blitz! team in the Mortal Realms!” – yelled Lukvanov’s friend to him.
“How am I supposed to do that? Neverwinter is in the Forgotten Realms and Blood Bowl is played on a different plane of existence!” – answered Lukvanov calmly.
“Figure it out!” – came the harsh answer.

Thus Lukvanov set out to consult with Officials of the Blitz! League and after many back-and-forths they allowed that the new team can be named after Neverwinter. They did mention however that he has to come up with the money and a coalition who is willing to play for him.

Lukvanov was named the GM and coach of the new team and his friend financed his first season in hopes of a successful first season. Lukvanov set out to convince the many coalitions of Blood Bowl to join his franchise. It goes without saying that almost everyone sent him away, some with some extra bruises.

One day, in his final desperation he prayed to some unknown gods and, well, the Chaos Gods answered. Not the answered he hoped for, but beggars can not be choosers, right? The Gods offered their Nurgle and Chaos minions to him. Seeing that this was his only choice and he wouldn’t dare to offend any Gods Lukvanov accepted.

So with money in his pocket, players who are willing to play for him and the never ending support of Neverwinter (pun intended), Lukvanov established the Neverwinter Nittany Lions (Why Nittany Lions? Nobody will afraid of something that’s called a Nittany Lion. That’s their first mistake) to sparkle some extra chaos into the already hectic MML Blitz! from Season 10 onward.

Season Of Creation: Season: 4 

GM:  Vinny Winniloti, Esq. (Season 4 – Season 5)

Coach(s): BrunfireARGNR (Season 4), DiscoDavo (Season 5)

Stadium Name: The Abbey

Mascot: During halftime of each game, an auxiliary mascot named Gus the Fried Burrito  is chased around the pitch by children from the stands, typically between 6 to 10 years of age. The children tackle the giant burrito just before he reaches the end-zone (they start at the opposing end-zone), then pose triumphantly over the down mascot. Gus has won the race once, in 1995. In that race, Gus mis-timed his steps and he inadvertently crossed the end-zone before his 10-year-old opponent. Nearly 20 years later the Heresy hosted a rematch and, on June 4th, 2010, the kid finally avenged his loss.

The team has two unique giveaway nights – Pants Optional and Used Car Giveaway. In the first, often held on or near the last game of the season, the pants worn by the players during the game are raffled off to fans in the stands (raffle tickets are offered at no charge, and each fan is limited to one entry). The same raffle format is used for the Used Car Giveaway, where more than 10 used cars are given away throughout the night. In 2011, the prizes included a 2005 F’Orc F-3Fiddy.

Daily tours of the stadium are also offered. The two-hour tour takes visitors from the bowels of the stadium up to the press box and ends with an autograph session featuring team mascot Ballapeno.

Background:

Hazard was home of one of the charter members of the Revival league back in 1840. Since that inaugural season the town has hosted a number of pilgrims, most of them using the Abbey as refuge. Blood Bowl was absent for only a few of the early years (1893-1894, 1900-1912) and again when the Turf Wars in the Disputed Lands occupied most would-be players between 1943 and 1945. Initially the team went by the names “Missionaries”, “Gentlemen”, and “Monks”. During these years, nearly 250 players reached other leagues around the world.

Florida Fumblers

Coalition: Afterlife

Season Of Creation: Season 2

GM:  USBPT (Season 2)

Coach(s): USBPT (Season 2)

Stadium Name: Augustine Arena

Mascot: N/A

Background:

They came for the haunted pub tours, they stayed for BloodBowl. When these undead hooligans arrived at Florida’s First Coast they quickly felt right at home in the nations oldest city. When they take a break from consuming the area’s finest spirits and ales, which isn’t very often, they do manage to get in a good game of BloodBowl. The Florida Fumblers got their namesake when during their first match they quickly forget that the ball is meant to score with and not for pelting the opposing team into submission. Fans thought they were just fumbling the ball at first but quickly realized this was not the case when the opposing team ran out of players and the Fumblers turned against the fans. Needing to quench their thirst for blood they decided to formally organize themselves and establish a franchise in the MML Blitz league.

Templehof Howlers

Coalition: Afterlife

Season Of Creation: Season 1- Season 2

GM:  LConner

Coach(s): LConner

Stadium Name: Nextlife Stadium

Mascot: The Howlers mascot is Ray Harry-Howler, a zombie dressed in a werewolf outfit that has identity issues and now believes he is a werewolf. However this is obviously not the case as he doesn’t actually have the ability to howl dude to the teams original mascot, an actual werewolf, tearing out his vocal chords in an incident when the crowd howled for a severe injury during a friendly game when he lost control and murdered several fans and players as well the referee.

Background: 

The History of the Tempelhof Howlers is a rather simple one. One of the Vampire owners saw a remarkably hapless undead team shambling around a blood bowl field. This team, the Undead Shakespeare Company, were originally a troupe of actors who, after several terrible reviews, were persuaded into becoming a blood bowl team to pay off mounting debts. After a rather appalling start to a short lived stint in the Farm during which the two wights, Macdaeth, and Lady Macdeath were killed and a mummy crippled the team was disbanded and Coach Connor found himself out of work.

The small group of necromancers and vampire lords saw in Connor a trait that every owner of a prospective blood bowl franchise desires to see in a potential employee, the willingness to work for peanuts. They approached him with the offer of coaching and managing their newly created Tempelhof Howlers. Connor could see potential in a team with the strength of mummies and the all-round ability of werewolves and so jumped at the chance.

Background: 

Eventually the founding crews became very wealthy and began to stay permanently in the settlement, rotating out only for dark exploits of profit around the globe. The Masters of Stumptown began to accumulate wealth unheard of for a small pirate colony such as itself and began to devise ways to hide and channel their fortunes in new ventures. The idea of founding a Bloodbowl team was raised in coven and unanimously voted YES. The pirates themselves wanted in on the glory of scoring and blitzing but their lack of numbers forced them to look for meat shields and subordinates to take the pitch in aid.  Through the many mercantile relationships the Slavers of Stumptown formed, one was with a crusade of Chaos in Kislev struggling to survive. In exchange for gold and protection from the god Slaneesh, the Slavers traded High elf scholars, human craftsmen, and saurus laborers to the Demonic band and its cause. Many of those Warriors and their Beastmen servants stayed in Stumptown to handle affairs. Some wind up playing Bloodbowl to earn gold and buy slaves to take back to their gods in sacrifice. Oftentimes the cargo and ships plundered come with unlucky stowaways, Skaven rats. Worthless as slaves due to their spiteful nature and fragile builds, another use was found. All Skaven captured are forced to train in BloodBowl. Most die on the pitch but the fortunately cunning and agile are offered captive luxury, a wheel in their cage, a wedge of cheese, and to the best. . . .even gold.

Transylvania Terrors

Season Of Creation: Season 1-2

GM:  SnakeyesTHFC

Coach(s): SnakeyesTHFC

Stadium Name: Pitch Black

Mascot: Batty the Vampire.

Background: 

The sport of Bloodbowl is not new to Transylvania and has been played in the region for hundreds of years and was first introduced to the area by the Vampire Counts who now control all what goes on in Transylvania. The game was mostly played between the Vampires and with or against the human residents of the land but due to the physical nature of the sport and the low human population of the area there soon became a blood shortage which affected the Vamps and their blood sucking ways! It was because of this the newly found owners of the team The Bank of Blood was involved. The Bank of Blood was always a specialist bank only doing business with either Blood Diamonds or Blood Money but since has become a blood bank also providing the team with the much needed resources. Since the team had a powerful backer it soon wanted results and due to the erratic nature and play style of the Vampire Counts they introduced the game to all manner of things undead to help add stability to their game. Local ghouls and ghosts were called upon and also the graves of the deceased and famous bloodbowl stars of old were dug up and brought back to life to join the team and give them an edge on the competition.
