I just finished the 1st of Matt Forbeck's series: Blood Bowl

Sadly I was a bit disappointed, but thanks to another poster in this forum, I was prepared.
The story was OK, including a plot with some small surprizes and some cliches.
But choosing a Blood Bowl book over some Fantasy or another theme is most likely (as it was for me), because one wants to read about some lethal ballplayers doing their thing in game.
Of course there must be an intro, and quite some stuff in between games but the few games that actually are described more than just 2-line mentioning, are over in a few pages. That is simply not enough.
And the author seems to have trouble deciding whether one of the characters is an assistant coach or an active player. I suspect, that mr. Forbeck considered both options, but it is annoying that both are present. And more than once.

So as a BloodBowl player, I won't spend time on the rest of those books.
Sadly, because the writing skills of mr. Forbeck are fine.

Heh. Should write one myself
(Don't worry. I won't)

I haven't dived into these books as of yet, but I'm an old time Blood Bowl player (had the Low Down Ratz and the Skavenblight Scramblers as my teams). They're sitting on the shelf over here, so at some point I'll get to them. That is, if I can ever get through all the other stuff needing my attention.

I'd recommend borrowing the Blood Bowl comics for a quick read. It's the continuation of Forbeck's story... but with more graphic violence.

Matt Forbeck is one of those writers who isn't especially polished and he could really use some help with his dialog as his characters have some of the most surreal conversations ever...however he does manage to put a nice yarn out there. I read Queen of Death the other day (Eberron) and it was kinda weird but still good fun.
