My first advance copy of Blood Bowl: The Omnibus showed up in my mail this afternoon. It is a thing of beauty: 768-pages of Dark (Humor) Fantasy Football goodness–each of the first three Blood Bowl novels–stuffed under a single cover. If you have those books already, you’re set, except for a short introduction I wrote for this volume. If not, …
Chaotic Saturday
The folks at the Games Workshop Chicago Battle Bunker showed me a great time this past Saturday. I signed a few dozen books, chatted with lots of Blood Bowl players, and peeked over a few shoulders to see some great teams, pitches, and matches. I also talked again with tournament organizer Tom Anders, who edited the latest version of the …
The Chaos Cup!
This Saturday, starting at 3 PM, I’ll be stomping around one of the biggest Blood Bowl tournaments of the year: the Chaos Cup! It’s held at the Games Workshop Chicago Battle Bunker in Downers Grove, Illinois, and I’ll be there to sign books, talk Blood Bowl, and have some fun. If you’re in the area, please stop by, say hi, …

Rumble in the Jungle Away!
Last night, I turned in the final portion of Blood Bowl: Rumble in the Jungle.

More Bloody Fun
Poking around the web, I found the covers for the Blood Bowl Omnibus and Rumble in the Jungle (a.k.a. Blood Bowl #4). I don’t know if these are final or not, but they look pretty darn cool to me. The Omnibus cover features an accurate image of the Bad Bay Hackers’ helmet as described in the books. and the Rumble …

Magazine tournament final, the Hackers set sail for the fabulous land of Lustria …
The Blood Bowl Ominbus
It’s listed on Amazon, so it must be real. As you might guess, The Blood Bowl Omnibus will feature all three of the Blood Bowl trilogy of novels, plus an extra bit or two. Amazon lists the release date at November 27, which should give you enough time to read this monster of a book before the fourth novel arrives.
Adepticon
The fine folks at the Black Library have asked me to join them at Adepticon, a convention for Games Workshop fans. It’s held in Schaumburg, Illinois–just northwest of Chicago–from March 30—April 1. I’ll be there on Saturday, March 31, to sign books, shake hands, and have fun. Coincidentally, I should have my fourth Blood Bowl book polished off by then. …
