(I went onto the stickied topic of collected BB resources, but the link to the GW site for the rulebook is broken.)
Having been away from the game for 5+ years, the last rulebook I remember was the Living Rulebook from Games Workshop. Forgive me if there's multiple editions, we used the one you got in the boxset. However I've noticed a lot of guys talking about Icepelt/Cyanide/different rulesets, and as I'm prepping to play again, I was wondering if someone could:
(1) point me to the current edition of the rules, and if possible (2) explain what (if any) changes were made from the LRB? I know Cyanide made a PC game, did that have any effect on the tabletop? Reason I especially mention any changes made to the rules is I found Bloodbowl to be a really well balanced game for the most part back in '09.
Cheers for all help.

Re: Current edition rulebook?
The current version is LRB6 (also know as CRP) and is available from the NAF site.
Cyanide also uses LRB6 (although it is incorrectly implemented is some places) and I believe host it on their site too.
Icepelt rulebook is LRB6 too, but has all of the fluff added back in that GW removed when they released the CRP. NAF can't host it due to the fluff being GW IP, but there are copies available.
I'll let others comment on the difference between LRB5 (which I'm guessing you used) and LRB6 which was released in 2010. As far as I'm aware, there were no massive changes, more tweaks and refinements.

As for the changes between 5 and 6/crp, there are at least 2 threads in which Galak lists the changes. A quick search should find them.

Worth popping over to thenaf.net, I would have thought.

some may even have it in their signatures, and agreed on checking out the NAF
