I had a blast being a guest on the show! Thanks for the invite Shaun & Matt. For me it was a new experience, and something I enjoyed immensely. (Even if I can’t get used to the sound of my own voice! – Is that me? Really? You sure?)
If anyone is interested where the particualry jovial attitude for Episode 4 came from, I suspect apart from my presence, it may have something to do with the background noises around the following time marks – 27:10, 44:30, & 50:30 :-)

Hey Guys, great Ep.
NAF Website is http://www.bloodbowl.net
It costs $15 us to join, but you can contact a guy on Ausbowl called Babs, who is the Australasian NAF representative, and talk to him about joining.

Another fun show. My most recent Tourny experience was a wooden spoon with an 0-4-1 record. Showing up with a team I had never played without really a plan of how to play them really caused some problems. Atleast I picked up a prize for stinking so bad.
It was a restricted skill access tourny that while people did not think they would like certainly added something to the games compared to everyone loading up on block, dodge, and guard.
