There's a reason I call it Dusty Dice.
I am impacted by Covid, as so many others. While it's been a frustration on so many fronts, the Hobby has not been one of them. With a three and six year old, painting turned out to be a good art extra-curricular. Then, in a moment of desperation, I introduced the six year old to Blood Bowl (in its Sevens incarnation). Given the speed of play and the limited number of models, it's gone well (spotting the boyo two rerolls doesn't hurt). I'll claim it's teaching him math, logic, and strategy, but honestly it's fun to play with the little guy.
Blood Bowl Sevens (BB7s going forward) is a nice mix from the normal game, quick enough to keep a young kid's attention while still having the meat and balance one expects from Blood Bowl. So...as in all things I proceeded to jump in the deep end and start drilling. I had already picked up 8 teams for BB7s at the start of the lockdown. I am now sitting on 24 either on hand or ordered. What's more unusual is that I actually have painted six teams, with two more almost done and more on the way. Plus the kiddos "painted" three between them.
Over the near future I'll be showing some of them and my mediocre painting skills.
