Powtearoa - The NZ Blood Bowl Podcast

We're Back!

its been a couple of months but the hiatus is over and Powtearoa bounces back with a boom.

High Elves! We don't know much but we will tell you what we think anyway. Leagues are underway we bring you the current status (that we know of) around the nation. Then there have been a few tournaments already this year. One Day in Wanaka, Haughty Chalice and we had representatives at Cancon in Canberra. One of those kiwi travelers was the Upper Echelon himself, Doomfox! And he joins us on this bumper episode to tell how things went for him and his fellow NZ coaches. Hint....it came down to a single dice roll!

So, thanks for joining us as we start of 2026 with an extra long episode. More to come we promise. Thanks for listening and keep rolling Pows.

As the year draws to a close the assembled choir of Welshy, Toffer, Josh and James settle down by the fire. Clad in their finest Christmas patterned singlets and sipping on mulled Steinlager the discussion begins. What a year!

This episode we look back at a huge year for NZ Blood Bowl with one eye on the upcoming 2026 season. What were the high points in NZ Blood Bowl this year and who/what should we be looking out for in 2026? Topics covered include our 7s and 11s tournament series, the new season of the game, rising stars of Aotearoa Blood Bowl and how is the 2026 calendar starting to fill out?

So join us as we take a trip down a 2025 memory lane. Thanks for listening and see you again in 2026.

We are back once again everyone!

Another high quality Powtearoa adventure!

This episode we are joined by master Blood Bowl coach Bobsol who, along with Mushy, has travelled to Aussie to wrestle the Pav back to NZ. Bobsol joins us from his penthouse suite in sunny Melbourne. Did they get the Pav back at Big V? Lets find out together.

Arlo joins us from the equally sunny Hawkes Bay where he recently attended the Orcs Bay Horn and he is able to tell us what happened there. Always a pleasure to hear from this friend of the show. Great to have you on Arlo.

Chur people

Hot on the heels of our ASC episode we managed to gather the troops and record again! We felt it important to hear from the other event that ran parallel alongside the ASC. The Greenstone Cup!

The oldest BB Tournament in Oceania, The Greenstone cup is in its 21st year and took place at the same time, in the same building so think of this episode as a continuation of the previous one.

Representing the cadre of clever Kiwis who put the event together we are joined by Auckland's most enthusiastic player Mahuika. And, representing the gamers themselves, we welcome back the amazing Arlo from the Hawkes Bay. Alongside Toffer and Welshy we get a good rundown of who did what and how it all turned out.

Why did people run off to hide in the bar? What is Arlo's breakfast of champions? Why has James disowned his kids? All this will be answered in our other 50th episode!

Full details of the Greenstone Cup can be found on the Discord but please hold listener, we will get back to this tournament soon.
