Chris’s comments from the Outhouse of Uncool group.

The fantasy football element is the flimsiest, so you're probably safe. Hell, from what I know about fantasy football, that was a pretty bad analogy. Suffice to say, the game itself is played with a football and has endzones and touchdowns.

Throwing the ball, running the ball, or even attempting to 'score' for that matter is strictly optional; you can always just try to eliminate your opponents entire roster, at which point you win (although if you can decimate their forces enough to prevent them from fielding a formidable defense, you can consider that 'scoring').

Unfortunately, Games Workshop decided to do an expansion with wizards, and canons, and all sorts of other stupid crap (bribing refs, hiring assassins, etc) that just lingered on the sidelines jacking around with the on-field antics, and the game pretty much stunk after that, so I guess you could say I was a 'purist'. They also arranged it to try replicating the idea of a continuous drive (getting first downs) whereas originally, it was more like a battle royale and occasionally some slippery sucker would emerge from the scrum with the ball and haul ass to the endzone.

Damn that game was badass.......

Clack: Blood Bowl is something like a cross between fantasy football, an RPG, and a board game. It's primarily a board game, but you start a campaign, and can get individual player enhancements, so I guess it has RPG elements to it. A lot of dice-rolling, a bunch of statistic keeping, and complete dorkiness. It's made by the some chumps that produce the Warhammer games.

The fact I actually convinced around 16 people to play this in the course of 5 seasons (which took about 8 human years) proves that the Uncool have landed, and aren't leaving any time soon.

Gus, did you have anything riding on Carlin? Would have only been 29 points.

I made a list about two years but didn't have anyone to play with. Sadly, my man Patrick McGoohan was probably the only pick I had any faith in. The rest were fools I hoped would overdose.

I think the problem is that you are too cool to know what Blood Bowl is. Not that I want to get into a 'uncooler than thou' contest.

I'd seen updates on ShellBell's page from this group and knew I'd finally found a home.

I am wicked uncool. My goal in life is to start another Blood Bowl league, seriously, but I am so fricking uncool I don't have any friends to resume my old league with, also seriously. I think that makes me uncool enough.

Should I actually display some sort of coolness, please reprimand me as you see fit.
