This week Librarians, a trio of audio dramas and an all-too-familiar Blood Bowl Team.

A little light on tomes this week, Librarians, but that is mostly because this is the week the Indexes Imperia are available to you. But in addition you’ll find a trilogy of audio dramas–the Champions of the Eternal War which collects three full-cast audio dramas (a bit like radio plays, complete with sound effects and voice acting and all) into a single edition. If you’ve never given one of GW’s audio dramas a chance, this would be a great time to start. Additionally there’s a new Blood Bowl short story–a sort of where are they now that’s full of the chaotic humor and cheery violence that defines the game. Take a look!

READ IT BECAUSE
It’s a capstone to the classic Blood Bowl novels by Matt Forbeck, looking at the fates of the characters with the same anarchic humour as the original books. 

THE STORY
The top-ranked Cabalvision show Where are They Now? is turning its attention to one of the greatest Blood Bowl teams of the past – the Bad Bay Hackers. What are the players up to now – did Dunk and Spinne ever tie the knot, did Edgar ever put down roots, and what possible employment could the ogre M’Grash K’Thragsh find after retiring from the game? As for Dirk, now team captain and co-coach, what are his plans once he retires and how will these impact on Jim and Bob, the eternally cheerful Cabalvision co-presenters?

Catch up with the stars of the Bad Bay Hackers in this wonderful retrospective by Blood Bowl novels author Matt Forbeck.

Check these books out, Librarians.
