In the vast and varied world of Blood Bowl, origin stories can be as fascinating as the matches themselves. Today, we bring you a story that begins in a rather unexpected place: the workshop of a Nativity scene creator. Yes, those traditional and detailed Christmas displays. Here, we tell you how a family known for their Christmas crafts has become the new sensation in the world of tabletop game scenery.
The Beginning of Everything
The story starts with a family request. A passionate Blood Bowl player asked his father-in-law, an expert Nativity scene creator, to make him a custom board. From there, the trust and skill acquired in creating Christmas decorations were transferred to the creation of a Blood Bowl playing field. This first project included not only the board but also a scoreboard, a gate, stands, benches, and even a dice tower.
An Unexpected Success
What began as a favor for a family member soon turned into a growing business. Friends and acquaintances of the Blood Bowl enthusiast started placing their own orders, not only for Blood Bowl but also for other tabletop games like Warhammer and Wild West Exodus. Recently, this workshop officially decided to start selling their custom boards and accessories. The demand has been such that they already have two confirmed reservations for complete boards.
The Challenge of Growth
While the transition from creating peaceful Nativity scenes to intense battlefields has been exciting, it hasn’t been easy. Each piece is handmade and customized according to the client’s specifications, which means they can only dedicate their time and talent to a few orders per month. This limitation is due to the time and dedication each project requires, along with their day jobs, which they haven’t yet left.
A Promising Future
Despite their unconventional beginnings, this workshop has found a new passion and an enthusiastic audience in the world of tabletop games. They dream of expanding their business and dedicating themselves fully to this new venture. Their creations are not only functional but also true works of art that enhance the gaming experience for all enthusiasts.
