Sorry - don't understand the question. The BB magazine was discontinued years ago.

You can download the current rules from the specialist games section of the GW website (Competition Rules Pack).

The Question is: Is there any Magazine dedicated to Bloodbowl on the market?
(There are podcasts, there are fanpages, is there any magazine or does no one do that because of GW stomping everyone who tries to do the game something good)

There will be. It'll be a BB-tournament and league periodical available for download for free.

It'll be based out of Vancouver, but it'll be coverage of the table top game for the globe, with pics and articles from authors who were there to cover it.

It'll be called Spike! Magazine.

We are currently in the formula stage right now, but Thunderbowl will release this by Spike! Magazine 2011 at the latest, and then every 2-4 months after that.

How are you going to get around the GW Lawyers when you're using a phrase/periodical from their game?

It's free.

Also they'd need to care. All the magazine would cover would be tournament coverage, league coverage, plus other articles. The mag would be about more about the community and less about the game itself.

Also, we plan to send GW a mock issue as a proposal, and simply ask them for permission.

That said, if they want to shut it down immediately all they would need to do is ask. At that point we'd willingly comply. But I'd rather try it and be declined rather than not try it at all.
