Get The Ref! - Alberta's Blood Bowl Roundup

The guys at GET THE REF sit down to discuss all things Blood Bowl in and around Alberta. We recap Thor's Hammerslam, look ahead to the Braft in Calgary, and preview the Cry Fowl Cup in Lethbridge. We also examine some of the newly released models, news, and questions from around the internet. Any way you slice it, we are excited to see what fun 2023 brings and wait in anticipation for Josh to finish a model or two for those lovely bases that he spent a year on!

Now that we know about the Dungeonbowl expansion, the 2022 Almanac (with the star player expansion), and the November FAQ/Designer's commentary... well, there is a lot to talk about! We dip into the mailbag of questions and offer the rookies some unsolicited advice. Finally, have an interview with the winner's of Winter Mayhem, and a breakdown of what to expect from Thor's Hammerslam in December. A little disclaimer: for the records, Scrappa *does* have his normal agility of 3+, unlike the confused noises we made when looking at some fo the preliminary reports. We hope you all enjoy the episode!

While we touch on all the regular segments like the Rumour Mill and Tournament Round-Up, but our Ask the Internet homework took on a life of its own this month. What trait would you like to see in a new team that would make them more themeatic? The question was actually asked last month, but we revisist it again, this time after more consideration. Finally, we spend more than a little time talking (again) about the importance of sneaky git and its new champion, Poppy.

Welcome to the Jungle, where Josh, Lair, Scott, and Darcy delve into the new stats from the upcomming release. The Amazons are different and we are here to tell you how. We then answer some questions from the internet, which inevitably leads to Lair confessing his undying love for Westjet. We listen to tales from Chaos Cup and look forward to our own Golden Sausage and Winter Mayhem competitions! Lots of awesome goodness in this months episode. Lick the closest toad and join us!

PowTown 22 has come and gone, leaving us with only memories. We talk about the tournament that was, sitting down with the champ, Steve Hall, and our adopted Canadian, Rory Donahoe. We also asked twitter for a few topics to talk about and had to juggle through a few technical difficulties. From Alberta, with love.

So many things to look forward to!

We offer our humble opinions and wild speculation regarding the upcomming Amazon team box as well as the new star player that will be accompanying them.

Hot on those heels, we prep everyone on what you can expect when you get to PowTown, our biggest local tournament - now in its tenth anniversary year! Many things to digest. We hash out a few roster ideas and make some predictions.

Enjoy!

This month, we jump pn the "Ask Me Anything..." bandwagon that has taken over Twitter over the last month. We combed through some of the more interesting questions and volunteered our hot takes on all of them.

We then transition to an off-site (aka dubious quality audio) series of recordings directly after the Red Deer Rumble, a one-day tournament halfway between Alberta's two major centers.

Enjoy the ride!

Despite some technical glitches, we managed to salvage an episode for you all this month!

We discus Mike Davis' Twitter question - what makes a great tournament? We follow that up with a debrief of the Alberta Classic which included an interview with Scott Martin! Finally, we chat breifly about upcoming tournaments.

Now that the Norse roster is official and in hand, we get the overall impressions from the panel, including their hot takes on the new stars. We talk about one of our favourite awards - Best Sporting Conduct - and what it takes to win it. Finally, we finish with a recap of the Blood Diamond Chalice and look forward to the Alberta Classic.

With the new Norse team revealed, we chat about what we have seen so far and speculate heavily on what kind of new deisgn space this fan-favourite team will explore. Then, we talk about upcoming tournaments, including Edmonton's Blood Diamond Chalice!
