I just think there's a lot more scope for creativity on the tabletop than any video game has given us so far with regards to Necromunda. Sure, there is a PC adaptation of Necromunda (which really isn't great), and even Tabletop Simulator. Compared to Blood Bowl there are just a lot more modelling opportunities, in terms of the models themselves and the scenery. I've bought into the current version in a big way and just don't feel that any video game could give me the same enjoyment that the tabletop gives me. ![]() One comparison I can make is to Necromunda, which I also played a lot in the nineties. Let's ignore games like 40K, or Age of Sigmar, or Warhammer Fantasy, which all require large amounts of models. Sure, I get that building and painting models has its own enjoyment (I wouldn't be hanging around these forums if I didn't get that) but that can be said of pretty much every tabletop wargame / skirmish game out there. I just don't get why I need to invest in the tabletop game when I can fire up my PC and play a campaign against the (admittedly poor) AI or against other players around the world. As with any video game it has its detractors, though for me at least it has given me the Blood Bowl fix I'm looking for. The first game was a very faithful adaptation of the rules though, and I'm guessing 2 and 3 haven't veered far from the formula. I haven't played Blood Bowl 2 yet, nor have done any research into what Blood Bowl 3 is aiming to do. I've also sunk a couple dozen hours into the PC incarnation of the game. I played it a fair bit back in the nineties, with my doughty Dwarfs. I think Blood Bowl as a concept is great. I'm just trying to understand what the appeal of the current version of Blood Bowl is. Firstly I want to be clear that I am not trying to criticise those who play Blood Bowl, or trying to take away its enjoyment. ![]()
