Welcome to our short Christmas Special!

0.30- We begin by asking what name we would change back to what it used to be called, such as changing Big Un's on an Orc team back to Black Orcs.

1.40 A Blood Bowl Fact - our fact has been officially Errata'd by the NAF - Whew!
https://www.thenaf.net/naf-recommendations-and-clarifications-for-bb2025

3.00 - We then interview Clay Meteyard, aka ClayInfinity, who is team captain for the Australian team to represent Australia at the next Eurobowl in Warsaw, Poland (17th & 18th October 2026). He is asking for expressions of interest for both the Australian EuroBowl squad, and a EurOpen team of 4. Do you want to take that 'gift' and put your name forward?

21.15 - We then talk through five 'gifts' we have for you:

1. Making the Ugni-designed miniatures for Babs' tournaments available, at AU $15 each (£7.50, US$10, €8.50, CAD$14) plus postage. This is Mrs. Davy Jones (tentacles for hair, plays as a vampire or Dark Elf star) and Deathroll the Croc, similar size and scale to a Kroxigor.
2. A template for a Tournament Rules Pack under the new edition.
3. A Google Sheets spreadsheet for tracking your team under the new rules.
4. Grimy Gonads - a snotling star player! Move over Akhorne!
5. A bingo card you can bring to a tournament (or use as a Tournament Organiser) and try to 'win' the bingo card - giving yourself a goal which isn't as competitive as winning all your Blood Bowl matches. Try to get 5 in a row, or complete them all!

30.40 - We also have a Christmas Quiz - play along! What does Blood Bowl and the Christmas season have in common? Quite a lot, it appears!

We have had to be very tight on time to fit this episode into our monthly hosting allowance. There will be some out-takes from this episode at the end of Episode 22, particularly our interview with Clay.

P.S. Some things ended up on the editing floor - they include my explanations on how a Census is related to Christmas (that's why Joseph and Mary had to go to Bethlehem and why there was no-where to stay, as everyone had to go to their birth town for it) and the Flee to Egypt (being what Joseph, Mary and Jesus had to do to escape from Herod's genocide).

Finally,
Have a great Christmas and we look forward to bring you more Down Under World Denizen Episodes, and adding to the Blood Bowl community in 2026!
