The Leicester Blood Bowl League (LBBL) is based in Knighton, Leicester and we aim to roll as many skulls and ones as possible each Thursday evening. All skill levels are welcome, with a range of experienced coaches on hand to help ease you in. Anyone interested in playing this maddening beautiful game is very welcome to join us in a fun, relaxing and safe environment.
Whether you’re a rookie coach with hope in your heart or a gnarled veteran of countless campaigns who lost all hope at the World Cup - or somewhere in between - our members have a wide range of abilities and experience and you’ll fit right in. Even if you’ve never played before we have a team of players ready to help you learn.
The LBBL is a club, we strive to play in a fun and lively atmosphere with several games being played for that authentic Blood Bowl feel. We play in the city centre of Leicester every Thursday from 19.00 – 22.00.
For brand new players there is no charge to play introduction and ongoing friendly games. There is a small fee to cover the running costs of the ongoing league should you wish to join. This is paid at the start of each season.
Founded in 2015, the Leicester Blood Bowl League was created for like-minded players to come together on a Thursday night and spend a few hours together rolling dice and enjoying a drink. Since it's inception it has grown into a much larger club, which has played ten full seasons and has been through four commissioners – from the founder Duncan Holman who was forced to step down following allegations of pile-driving fellow coaches; Justin Cross, currently on the run from local authorities due to nocturnal asphyxiation activities; Danny Richardson, a man who insists that "Blood Bowl is not meant to be fun"; to current commissioner Michael Jones.
At the heart of the league we aim to provide a fun, relaxing, safe and welcoming environment for anyone interested in playing the maddenin... beautiful game. All coaches are expected to get on board with the ethos of being a fully inclusive club for anybody brave enough to spend their Thursday evenings rolling skulls and ones.
Historically we played the CRP version of the rules in 2015 and then the 2016 re-release, with Death Zone and Spike! additions along the way. We have now moved over to the latest version - Games Workshop's Blood Bowl: Second Season.
Each season forms a structured league with multiple divisions, culminating in the play-offs for the qualifying teams in each division. Even more important is the Stunty Cup, a battle to see who can do the best, with the very worst teams in the game.
