The Fluff

Ah, the fluff.

This is what takes Blood Bowl to the next level, when it moves beyond a bunch of pixels or figures moving about a screen or table, when it really comes to life.

"Fluff" is the additional stories told around players and teams that brings life to the game beyond its ruleset and into a fantasy setting limited only by a player's own imagination.

Blood Bowl is set in a fantasy universe, so inherently there is a level of fluff backing the different races - orcs, elves, chaos, halfings, creatures and beasts from all corners of the fantasy world.  Some players use a less traditional way to fluff up their teams, referring perhaps to their favourite football team or television show.

Fluff does come with a caveat - when your favourite fluffed up player dies horribly, it becomes a much more harrowing experience!
