Welcome to episode FIFTY of Get The Ref - where we talk all about Games Workshop's best game - Blood Bowl! In this episode, we chat about January's Braft up in Calgary and then spend some time talking about the build for the Cry Fowl Cup. While those are the big rocks, we also fit in lots of moose talk, some of our favourite things that come in groups of fifty, and pump the Pedro Ramos' tires. Come have a listen!

The Big 5-0

This podcast is concerned with the people who play the game of Blood Bowl, Game Workshop's game of fantasy football.  Specifically, we report on the tournament scene in Alberta, Canada.

Now that we all have Gnomes in hand, we sit and chat about our hobbying goals, excitments, and disappointments. We transition quickly to hashing out what happened at the Blood Diamond Chalice and the Alberta Classic. We also set the table for Pow Town 2024 and announce the return of the Golden Sausage. Included is an interview with Justin Gatner, the morning after a birthday celebration! To say that it impacted his memory would be an understatement.  Come, pull up a mushroom and join us for the journey!

Birthday Hangovers

GNOMES, GNOMES, GNOMES!  We spend an inordinate amount of time just digging through the garden of information left to us by Grandma Wendy. How important is Trickery? Can my Woodland Fox keep the ball until the next league game... do they keep it until they DIE?!  What can you really expect from this team?  Are there some hidden treasures to be found in the upcoming SPIKE? We won't know for sure until the team releases, but that won't stop us from guessing! We also tuck into the surprise release of Jordell Freshbreeze along the way and just how gamebreaking his special ability is. We chat about hobbying challenges, unpopular opinions, and sift through all the important tournament details from the past month along the ones we are excited about.  Friends, lend us your ears!

Gnome Nonsense

With the recent news of a Gnome team, we catch you up with all the information about what we know and what we don't. Then, we turn our gaze behind us at the tournaments that have been played over the last few weeks to catch you up on all the goings on. Finally, we look ahead to March Madness, the Blood Diamond Chalice, the Alberta Classic, and PowTown!  It's a great time to be a Blood Bowler!

Gnomes, Sweet Gnomes!

This month, we recap the Tri-City Tussle, look ahead to using the new star players (Skitter, here we come!), discus our hobby goals, wonder how best to manage our rerolls, and generally look forward to February and beyond! Our next big tournament is the Cry Fowl Cup and you can be sure that you will find some insight into the build. We have a special first-timers interview with Jonathon Kramer to discus his impressions on playing in his first tournament and what role a good story has to play.  STOP READING AND LISTEN ALREADY!

When The Saints Come Marching In

With the NAF electing a new president soon, we wanted to highlight a candidate close to our hearts - Canada's own, Grant Hallas! Lair and Josh pick his brain about what the NAF is, what it should be, and how he wants to be a big part of its next chapter.  Read the presidential forums here: LINK Starting January 28 and going through to Feb 4, you can vote for president here: LINK (Please excuse the audio quality as we adapt to some new equipment!)
