The layout of the book includes a total of eight sections: New Star Players, New Optional Rules, New Rules, New Teams, Skills Update, Hall of Fame, Official Reference Guide, and Star Player Summary. In classic Games Workshop style both inside covers are sporting some sweet minis-porn to remind me of my inadequacies with the paint brush but nothing that hasn’t already been seen on the Games Workshop websites. It comes in at 80 pages and despite not being a hard back it has a good solid weight to it. The quality and materials is on par with the Season 1 book and I was surprised with the overall feel of the book.

Anyhow, enough rambling from me and on to the review. If Season 2 had come out a couple of months earlier I am not sure I would have ordered it, but whenever I’m out of civilization and money starts to pile up in the bank account the need to blow cash on game stuff becomes uncontrollable. Blood Bowl players of old have been sticking with the game over the long haul so sometimes it can feel weird when the winds of change begin to blow. This disappointment had nothing to do with the content or format (although typos are always disappointing) but just with the lack of ‘new stuff.’ I will admit that this feeling was probably more of the grumpy old man not liking change. This feeling was compounded when Death Zone Season 1 also didn’t do much to woo me over. I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Blood Bowl Video game and how many times it seemed I had to repurchase the game just to add an additional handful of teams. I’ll be honest that from the initial re-launch of Blood Bowl I have been a little skeptical of the ‘Season’ book concept. Why dose this feel familiar asks my wallet?
