Today, the tabletop and digital versions of Blood Bowl exist in parallel, as closely coordinated as blitzers and blockers. “I have to think that, yes, we played our part in showing Games Workshop the interest of the community in more Blood Bowl.” “It’s always a great thing to be able to showcase and sustain these great tabletop games,” Brésard says. Fans were finally relieved from the responsibility of life support, and joined by a new generation who had discovered the joys of grognard gridiron by competing online. Soon afterwards, Games Workshop went further - dusting off tabletop Blood Bowl for a new edition. That first game was faithful, if unadorned, and a sequel in 2015 finally delivered the audio-visual crunch to match the mental image of a beastman forcibly lifting an elf into the air with a single punch. Yet in 2009, Games Workshop backed Cyanide in its attempt to recreate Blood Bowl on the PC.
