My friends and I have recently got back into the sports groove with the newest edition of the boardgame/videogame Blood Bowl. Before I get too far have a peek at this old post I made about Greyhawk Rugby; that's what Blood Bowl should be all about: a mix of fantasy and modern sports. Below is a list of team names for a Greyhawk themed tweak of my inter-college Rugby League campaign, instead cast as a regional league more along the lines of the multi-racial Blood Bowl game.
Human: "Free City of Greyhawk Griffons"
The city has a lesser collegiate league still and their best athletes compete abroad. The Free City Arena is still the best venue to play in all the central lands.
Orc: "Blackthorn Bandits"
The Orcish Empire of the Pomarj likely has many teams, however this lair of humanoids in the Gnarley Forest is much closer to the action. Only the league keeps them relatively peaceful.
Dwarf: "Greysmere Anvils"
Greysmere is one of three dwarven teams out of the Abbor Alz Mountains.
Skaven: "Undercity Gnashers"
There is no Skaven race per se in Greyhawk so this is a team of vile wererats hailing from the sewers of Greyhawk.
High Elf: "Canryell Lances"
Celene may currently be isolationist but the fringes elven communities still have contact and interaction with other realms, including this one on the edge of the Wild Coast.
Bretonian: "Free City of Dyvers Bannermen"
Dyvers' rivalry with the Gem of the Flanaess continues in this league. Their history as the former capital of the Kingdom of Furyondy lives on in their team name.
Halfling: "Elmshire Slingers"
This very short and soft team is more interested in the festivities and post game meals than the game itself.
Goblin: "Harrgrek Grinders"
This group of goblins in the Cairn Hills gets out to compete just to show their orcish masters they can't be pushed around.
Chaos: "Mastryne Marauders"
This group of mysteriously mutated men have come out of the Wild Coast to bring the pain.
Amazon: "Hardby Brawlers"
The Despotrix of Hardby has assembled the toughest, roughest women in the domain to be on her all-female squad.
Lizardmen: "Mistmarsh Maws"
Emerging from the swamp is an amazingly capable set of lizardmen athletes. Who knew they had talent?
Necromantic: "Inverness Souleaters"
This dreadful team just started showing up. The Ghost Tower continues to surprise.
Wood Elf: "Clan Meldarin Archers"
Another remote elven team from the Gnarley. They compete just because they don't want the high elves to get all the glory.
Undead: "Castle Greyhawk Deathless"
Apparently the famous ruins has issued out some skeletal players ready to compete, but who is the manager?
