The Bonehead Podcast - All Things Blood Bowl

In this in-depth interview, we sit down with Jervis Johnson, the legendary designer behind Blood Bowl, to talk about DreadBall All Stars — Mantic’s upcoming all-star sci-fi sports game. Jervis breaks down: What DreadBall All Stars is and how it's evolved from classic DreadBall The move to alternating activations and faster, end-to-end gameplay How All-Star teams of unique characters change the feel of the game His approach to game design, iteration, and “murdering your darlings” Narrative vs competitive balance in modern tabletop games Championship play, legacy cards, and long-term replayability The dark, corporate satire behind the DreadBall universe We also dive into Jervis’ reflections on Blood Bowl’s legacy, emergent storytelling, gateway games, and what he’s been working on recently — including Trench Crusade, a Godzilla RPG, and large-scale historical wargames. Whether you’re a Blood Bowl veteran, a board gamer looking for your next fix, or simply interested in how great games are made, this is a fascinating conversation with one of tabletop gaming’s most influential designers. 📌 DreadBall All Stars is an upcoming sci-fi sports game from Mantic Games. 💬 What do YOU want from DreadBall All Stars — competitive play, narrative chaos, or both? Let us know in the comments.
