How does a Blood Bowl tournament differ from playing in a league? Why would you go to a tournament? Who is this NAF I hear about and what do they do?
With interviews from tournament attendees, a tournament organiser and a past president of the NAF himself, all of this and more are explained in this very special episode of Down Under World Denizens.

Welcome to the first ever episode of Down Under World Denizens.
Meet the commentators, and some of our regular segments, including:
* Down Under Rated Skills - which skills/traits in Blood Bowl are underrated.
* Deadset Legends - What stat line would Hoshi Komi have if he was in BB2020?
Hear about the focus of the podcast, what's on our painting table, what we are doing in our league and upcoming events in Queensland, Australia.

This episode focuses on the culture of Blood Bowl:

• How Blood Bowl can be a coping mechanism when fighting cancer
• How the Blood Bowl tournament scene is a positive environment for women, and how it can do even better (as well as a networking group for women who play)
• Lee's Charity Blood Bowl 7's event in Chermside, Brisbane
• Brett's Why So Serious 3 7's event in Geelong
• The Nonnas and how they developed as a Blood Bowl support group during lockdowns

Other Segments include

• Who won our competition and won a free minotaur miniature thanks to Tats Tabletop
• The Mystery of Icepelt Hammerblow, and a competition spurned by what happened in real life.
• Around the Grounds and what the Blood Bowl scene is like in the ACT, including talking Jolt Cup on 9 November and CanCon in January 2025.
• What does the final Chaos Dwarf roster and stats, including their stars, mean for the game.

There's been a long wait between Episode 4 and 5, so we're rewarding you with a double feature - one massive episode that's twice as long as usual, and jam packed with enough for two episodes. We begin hearing coaches live at the Great Barrier Biff II, then chat to The organisers of the Ipswich Blood Bowl Association. We chat at length to the one and only Mike Davies, the number cruncher for the NAF and we also go 'around the grounds' to chat about what Blood Bowl is like in South Australia. Finishing off with our competition winners and announcing a new competition. Whew!

The Culmination of Tats Tabletop sponsored Sevens Draft teams with proxy teams of Chaos Dwarves, Lizardmen, Nurgle, Dark Elves, Amazons and Savage Orcs, chosen and printed by Tats himself from his selection of Punga, Rako Vendetta and Brutefun teams.
