The Bloodbowl Rage tournament will take place from noon on Saturday 27th at Ludicrus 08...

The organiser of the tournament (Kalten) has been kind enough to supply some rules in advance of the event just in case you weren't sure on any of the specifics to be used at Ludicrus.

OK we're getting a bit fed up with people telling us we've spelt Ludicrus wrong...

For those of you who forgot to turn up to your Latin lessons or couldn't stay awake once you were there..

Ludicrous was borrowed from Latin ludicrus, from ludicrum, "joke, amusement", and from ludere, "to play".

In Roman antiquity, ludi publici (LYOO digh PUB li sigh) were public games and spectacles, including athletic competitions, horse and chariot races, exhibitions of the arena, and theater.

So there - it's Latin! and we think Ludicrus makes a great name for the public spectacle that is East Anglia's premier games event.

OK, enough with the education, back to the games....

If you remember the rather splendid burgers at Ludicrus 07 then you'll be pleased to know we've managed to secure the services of the same caterers!

Felixstowe District Guides will be providing essential gamers rations throughout Ludicrus 08.  Everything from early morning bacon butties to an afternoon cup of tea and a slice of cake will be available from the refreshment points in the trade hall and tournament room 1.
