My favourite Thrud cartoon of all time, is now online!

It's a clever send-up on the whole comicbook culture and role playing games at the same time! .. or something..

Yeah for sure.. Thrud was a comic strip in White Dwarf way back in the early 80s when I used to read it ;-)

Blood Bowl was great too... I recently got a PC game called Chaos League which is a good (unofficial) rendition of it (with a turn-based option too!)

Take a look here- looks like Games Workshop and Cyanide (who made Chaos League) are planning more stuff:

Chaos League

Bloodbowl, another game that was on my "should played it". Never got a chance.
Sam, maybe this is something you should keep written somewhere. A different, but turn-based game of this sort could be good to do...

So many games (to make), so little time... :mad:

Now if I could just get rich on darkwind and give up the day job :rolleyes:

Edit: the big problem with online bloodbowl (or any sports game) is the scheduling. I learned it the hard way with Darkwind - we used to have leagues with races running at predefined times each week. The problem is, people don't play games that way, they like to play when they just feel like it...
