Blood Bowl’s getting a new edition with teams for Bretonnians and Tomb Kings in the box

Blood Bowl’s tabletop incarnation last had its rules updated in 2020 with the “second season edition” and now Games Workshop has announced a third season is coming later this year. They’re at pains to let everyone know we won’t have to relearn all the rules, however, saying “The core game is exactly the same: the pitch hasn’t magically grown any new squares, there are no new stats, and everything should be very familiar.”

That said, changes have been made. The rules penalty for Wildly Inaccurate Passes are gone (which might encourage more desperate hail mary throws), the kick-off table’s been revised, and small players who survive being picked up and thrown down the pitch by bigger players will now earn a star player point where previously only the thrower did.
