🚽 The Porcelain Bowl League is here! Our new Off-Season League:

⚡ Sevens Format
💥 Secret League Teams
🙌 Join ROMBBL

Runs Sept–Dec @ DWL Romford.

The PBL is perfect for new coaches, hobbyists, and veterans alike. Quick games, crazy rosters, and plenty of laughs.

📑 Rules: bit.ly/PBL-Rules

A monstrous two-headed mutant player in orange shorts, with writhing purple tentacles and a football at his feet, looms at the centre. A yellow text box reads: “ROMBBL Porcelain Bowl League.” Bold header text says “Blood Bowl,” with the tagline “The Game of Fantasy Football” at the bottom. This image promotes the Porcelain Bowl League (PBL), ROMBBL’s off-season Sevens competition. Running from September to December, the PBL features smaller teams, fast games, wild Secret League rosters like Undead Pirates, Forest Goblins, and Dust Goblins, and the infamous Flushable Traits that twist player development into chaos. It’s quick, unpredictable, and perfect for both new and experienced coaches looking for fun Blood Bowl action in Romford.
