Chur people

Hot on the heels of our ASC episode we managed to gather the troops and record again! We felt it important to hear from the other event that ran parallel alongside the ASC. The Greenstone Cup!

The oldest BB Tournament in Oceania, The Greenstone cup is in its 21st year and took place at the same time, in the same building so think of this episode as a continuation of the previous one.

Representing the cadre of clever Kiwis who put the event together we are joined by Auckland's most enthusiastic player Mahuika. And, representing the gamers themselves, we welcome back the amazing Arlo from the Hawkes Bay. Alongside Toffer and Welshy we get a good rundown of who did what and how it all turned out.

Why did people run off to hide in the bar? What is Arlo's breakfast of champions? Why has James disowned his kids? All this will be answered in our other 50th episode!

Bobsol's fantastic new AUS/NZ Blood Bowl webpage can be found here - https://www.bbanz.net/

Full details of the Greenstone Cup can be found on the Discord but please hold listener, we will get back to this tournament soon.

Well if you thought 10,000 listeners was big, you haven't heard our 50th episode yet! Another bumper one this time.

The Ausbowl State Championships! A meeting of all our Australsian provinces for a weekend of team based gaming with one team taking out the top spot. Running concurrently with the Greenstone Cup (which will be the subject of our 51st episode) a multitude of Aussies descended on Mission Bay to try and wrestle the silverware away from us and drag it back to the West Island.

There were several outcomes but on key one was that the Powtearoa Studios have been invaded by Kangaroo Plushies, Cans of VB, Posters of 80s soap opera's and Down Underworld Denizens very own Babs!

Babs has long been a Friend of the Show and he returns today as one of the members of the Queensland team who took part in the ASC. Toffer and Trickey are also joined by our own Claymore. Claymore was part of the North Island team at this massive event.

So what happened? Well, lets find out as we bring you episode 50 or Powtearoa - The New Zealand Blood Bowl Podcast!!

Kia Ora Powtearoa Listeners

Thanks again for the 10,000 listens!!

This episode Welshy and Toffer are joined by Lord_Vortigern and Muckboot because all four of us recently attended the inaugural Powtearoa Squad Spectacular at the fantastic Cashmere Club in Christchurch.

Jesse did an amazing job getting this event together and 8 squads of 3 managed to attend including a squad of coaches from Aussie!

Much fun was had by all and if you didn't attend this time, make sure you get in in the diary next time.

We hear from Muckboot about what it is like as a new but vitally important part of the NZ Blood Bowl community. Then, we go through our games over the weekend. Who did what? Why is Puggy the best player in the game, Did Muckboot have fun? How come Welshy cant remember any of it? Why is Morag making their own trophies and what happens when a firework injures all of Mushoomy's important players?

These questions and indeed less will be partially answered in this, our 49th episode!

Kia Ora everyone

Firstly. Thanks to everyone who donated to Grudge at the Crater! An amazing outcome for an amazing cause.

This episode, we have Jesse from Christchurch with us again to talk about what is happening in their two massive leagues this year. They do things a little different down there as it makes it easier when dealing with large numbers and people who want different things from a league system.

We then discuss the upcoming Powtearoa Squad Spectacular at the end of this month. there are still spaces coaches! come and play!!

We briefly recap who won what at Grudge in Auckland and finally Trickey tells us what is happening in the Dunedin League.

So a League heavy episode which is something we should do more often.

Looking forward to seeing people in Christchurch on the 30th!!

Kia Ora Blood Bowl Coaches galore!

this episode we are joined by our own NAF rep Claymore who is with us to help us better understand the role of the NAF in NZ Blood Bowl. We all know what the NAF is but what role can it play in our lovely little corner of the planet?

Also Trickey returns to us from his trip to the north (everything is north of Dunedin). Did he win all the prizes at the Otautahi 7's? we shall see. Claymore was in attendance at the recent Blitz Bowl in Tauranga and brings us all the goss from this amazing tournament.

So put your headphones on, ignore your opponent as they tell you you cant use a re-roll to reroll that armour break because its time for another helping of Powtearoa the finest entirely Blood Bowl related podcast in the whole of New Zealand!
