Playbooks are often requested by coaches. The trouble is that they are long endeavors to write! As you will see, they are very dense and they can take up to 30 minutes to read; a fraction of the huge chunk of time it took to gather ideas and write… And to say, there are 26 Blood Bowl teams to cover!
Consequently, it made sense to adopt a “work in progress” approach rather than to publish texts polished to the bones from the go. This is why these playbooks are deliberately raw patchworks that will be reforged, bonified and divided over time.

If you’ve just picked up Blood Bowl for the first time, this article may be interesting as a historical document. If you’re moving from BB2016, then it should allow you to adapt to the ruleset more smoothly. I’ll try and draw attention to the significant changes, but will often say “Check the rules” if the change is huge.
