Differences in BB2 rule set and LRB6?
I'm looking to compile a list of all known differences in rules between LRB6 and BB2 so if you know of any please post them.

I was going through the rulebook yesterday and noticed it mentioned "the bank" as a new rule and the designer notes talked about the issues of having a "bank" vs "petty cash", and I seen that petty cash is part of the team roster screen. How does petty cash work and is there no bank?

LRB 6 can be found here: http://www.bloodbowl-game.com/files/BB_LRB6.pdf

The Bank rule was actually tested and was going to be approved for LRB6 but JJ vetoed it. An explanation can be found here: http://forum.bloodbowl-game.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=64

Ok, and the LRB6 that I found is a little different, like having the bank rules instead of petty cash. So I take it the dev is going by the one you posted? I'll print that one up and look it over but is there any differences between that rulebook and the game?

Which LRB6 did you find? Got a link to it? Because no LRB6 I know of has the Bank.

The "official" (i.e. BBRC-endorsed) rules are the ones I posted.

This is what google leads to when searching for BB rules: http://www.bloodbowlgamers.com/downloads/LRB6.pdf

Bank is on page 25, designer notes on the subject is on page 63

That looks like a homebrew of crp and fluff. It's not been released by anyone other than that league.

Ok, original question still stands. What are the differences (if any)?

Well off the top of my head:

Rosters in Cyanide
(LRB6 in brackets where appropriate):
Human catcher is AV8 (AV7)
Human Ogre costs 130k (140k)
Orc Blitzer costs 90k (80k)

Rules:
The Bank (see links above)
Marketplace (not in LRB6)
Stadium Upgrades (not in LRB6)
Sponsors (not in LRB6, but no idea what effect they have apart from changing the stadium advertising)
Skills currently not optional (all skills should be optional iaw LRB6)
Brettonians (don't exist in LRB6)
Ageing (not in LRB6, although it is optional for leagues)

There's probably more...

Even though RLB6 says that all skills are optional, I'm not allowed to choose not to use decay when my players receive injury rolls and not to use secret weapon after the drive ends :D

The most annoying one is the skills being not optional! It would be a real gameplay regression, can't believe they didn't planned It.

I'm sure many BB addicts will prefer keep BB 1 just because of that!

A dev clarification on that issue would be appreciated.

Except where it says specifically in the skill description, for the pedants ;)
