I recently downloaded 'Blood Bowl' on Steam to my Mac, not realizing that it was not Mac-compatible. Is there any software or any way that will allow me to play it, as obviously I've already paid for it? Cheers.

When looking at your library, select Mac Games from the drop down next to the search function.
How to find your games and files on Mac is:
- Click on desktop.
- Click on Go which is the 5th button in on your left.
- Go the the 2nd last command which is Go To Folder...
- Click on it and enter this text ~/Library/Application Support
- Find the Steam Folder and click on it.
- Go into the steamapps folder
- Go into Common Apps.
- Redownload it.
- Search Steam for any bugs or wrong algorithms they may find.
- There you go it should have worked!

If you have access to a copy of Windows lying around, there's always the option of running the game in a virtual machine. Note that by running Windows in a virtual machine, you will naturally take a bit of a hit in performance. Give the virtual machine access to a large chunk of your system's resources and you should be fine though.
While I've never run games in a virtual machine myself (I use virtual machines principally for Linux installs), I checked out the community's forums and it looks like it is a fairly common task. It can be a daunting task for an inexperienced user, but the actual virtual machine application makes it a very simple process.
Another option would be to simply utilize Mac's Boot Camp to put a copy of Windows on another partition on your hard drive and run it from there. Both of these tasks though require a copy of Windows on hand, so if you're lacking in that area, my apologies.
