It's the TO's 40th birthday, so let's play Sevens! But even though it's his birthday, everyone else gets the presents!
Blood Bowl Sevens is a shorter, quicker version of the sport played on a smaller pitch by players who weren’t quite good enough to make it into the big leagues.
We will be using the official Second Season 7s rules from the 2021 Death Zone, as well as that manual's pricing for inducements (including desperate measures if someone wants to purchase one or more of them).
IN SHORT:
- All Blood Bowl 2020 races & rosters available from the Second Season Rulebook, Teams of Legend pdf, as well as the NAF-approved rosters for Khorne and Slaan. No 2016 rosters
are available.
- No star players are allowed
- 600,000 gp to spend on your team
- You must hire 7 and up to 11 players, and only 4 non-linemen types allowed
- Re-rolls cost double (they’re amateurs)
- Inducements must be bought at team creation, at the pricing provided in the Death Zone manual. Desperate measures may also be rostered as an inducement, but a new roll on the table will be required before each game. No wizards, infamous coaching staff, or other inducements not listed in the Sevens Rules may be induced with the exception of the "present" below (see Death Zone p.93 for a full list of allowed inducements).
My present to all players: a free inducement, the "Team Mascot" (see Death Zone p.39), to use in each game. Participants are encouraged to bring their own hilarious mascots to amuse the TO. Speaking of amusement, all games will be played with the Limpin' Squig Ball (see Death Zone p.74).
SKILLS:
- Each team is allowed to give some players additional skills within the restrictions below.
- Each team chooses 1 player to be the Team Captain - they gain the Leader skill. The Team Captain can swap the Leader skill for any primary skill if they so choose.
- Teams will have a number of additional skills based on the Team Tier ratings.
- No player can be given more than 1 additional skill as discussed below (this includes the Team Captain, who already has his or her additional skill)
- Tier 1: 1 skill, must be a primary
- Tier 2: 2 skills, up to 1 of which may be a secondary.
- Tier 3 (Includes Lizards with no Saurus, Black Orcs with no Black Orcs and Underworld with no Skaven): 3 skills, up to 2 of which may be a secondary.
Weather Table: It's the day before Halloween, so we will be using the Graveyard Weather table (see Death Zone p.80).

**NOTE: In light of the ongoing COVID situation, tables will be socially distanced to the extent possible. Masks will be optional but not required given current CDC & Michigan guidance on gatherings assuming you are vaccinated. We also aim to continue running Sevens tournaments every 6-8 weeks, COVID permitting, until the tabletop scene largely resumes in the USA** |
