Semi Finalists |
- 2006: As ever, retaining the title proves difficult for the defending champions and Revengers' Tragedy open up with a loss to the Missiles but bounce back to eventually take their third ADF South Conference title. A late surge ties the franchise's own record of 22 touchdowns in a season, and they are against the Best Offence. In the post-season, they exact revenge against the Missiles but are narrowly beaten by the Tempo Ray Mutineers in the quarter finals.
- 2005: A great second season for the Tragedy, they go undefeated throughout the regular season to claim top seed for the post-season. En route, they break the record for most TDs scored and are never held below 2 TDs in a regular season match and are clearly the Best Offense. Taking the Southern Conference title and the number one seed, Tragedy scrape past 2004 champions Tempo Ray Mutineers in the semi-finals and edge out 2003 champions KoPite MuGaz in the final to lift the AD Blood Bowl league championship.
- 2004: A successful first season for the Tragedy secures the expansion Southern Conference title with just a single defeat and a decent post-season performance to reach the post-season before falling to the Wildmen in the semi finals. The Revengers' cautious approach to BB brings a new dynamic to the league and they finish top in a number of categories and are ranked second overall on defence.
- 2003: Ultimate Team The Second is invited into the AD Blood Bowl league, In the face of this provocation, Frederick decides that the dish will now have cooled properly and forms Revengers' Tragedy. At first he is denied a place in the league, the commisioner's rejection letter cites doubts that Frederick still has what it takes to compete. Frederick walks into the Commissioner's office with a pencil, a rusty spoon and a small dog and emerges 3 minutes later with a slightly smaller dog and a place in the league.
- 1988 The very last member of the original Revengers' is killed in a friendly against a team of rookies known by the rather pathetic name of 'The Ultimate Team'. Frederick harbors bitter resentment against the entire world and vows never to play Blood Bowl again.
- 1980 Frederick retires from the game disillusioned and jaded. The Beserkers never truly trusted him and the Revengers' were never the same again after WD182. He plays occasional friendlies with minor league opponents and the number of surviving Revengers' slowly dwindles, Frederick gets more and more bitter and cynical as the years go by.
- 1979: After several successful years the Revengers' and the Beserkers appear to be doing well and their league is gaining popularity until disaster strikes. The Necrotelicomnicon is sucked into an abyss known as WD182 and Frederick finds his team falling apart, both on and off the pitch. Just two weeks later Herman is killed when one of his own players falls off the the pitch and he lands on top of him. It later transpires that the player in question was one of the few surviving members of Serenity's Sufferance. In honour of his brother, Frederick takes over at the Beserkers, attempting to run two teams in order to continue his family's legacy.
- 1974: The Revengers' have gone from strength to strength, while the local ale houses bemoan the loss of players to the mortuary and subsequent sign-up to the Revengers' roster. In one dramatic game, the Revengers' succeed in killing half of the Sufferance team. Strangely Herman doesn't appear too bothered and instead leaves the team to take charge of rivals The Beserkers. Rumors that certain pieces of armour were replaced with cardboard just before the fateful game, so that Herman could more easily switch teams and Frederick would gain a batch of new players are laughed off without comment.
- 1972: Two young and eager Blood Bowl Coaches, brothers Herman and Frederick von Schniffel co-found a small amateur league in the town of Common Slapham. A keen reader, Frederick discovers a book in the local library on the Dark Arts. Careful reading of The Necrotelicomnicon allows him to raise an Undead team from various graveyards. He names them the Revengers' Return. Herman founds his team from his favourite public house, Serenity's Sufferance. With a name like that, they were never going to last.
