IGBB 7's - Iblitzer Bender 2024 - Xav Says… (06/06/24)

About this experience

Iblitzer Bender ’24 -  Xav says…

Round 2 of our 5 game series at IGBB - Instead of spending their time in the sunshine with all the proper Blood Bowl stars the local dregs have instead been exploring the forgotten corners of the realm for anything that might improve their chances of picking the ball up or not rolling double skulls. We all know this is in fact impossible but we never say never at IGGB and we have made a truly game changing discovery. Someone has been toying with the very fabric of reality after the discovery of a dusty tome entitled - Xav says. This unassuming text suggests that Blood Bowl is in fact a rational game of chance and lays out in simple terms how to win the game efficiently and with minimal chance of failure. 

To this end our coaches will find themselves in possession of a mere sliver of this wisdom in the shape of a FREE REROLL with absolutely no strings attached at all. Really. We mean it…… You can use this RR once per game on any dice you can usually use a RR on that requires a D6, EXCEPT you must need a 6 for it to succeed. You didn’t think we’d make it that easy did you?
