John tells us about his actual play show, Blittle League Blaseball! The show is based on the now passed internet phenomenon, Blaseball. In Blaseball, baseball teams play against each other while using magical and technological powers. Their furious battles satisfy the Elder Ones and prolong the time before the Antediluvians rise and consume the world as we know it. So if there are professional Blaseball players… There must be a Blaseball Little League, right? That’s where Blittle League Blaseball comes in!

The campaign focuses on a team known as the Summerville Sunflowers. The four PCs are the main members of the team who go on monster slaying missions as part of their Blaseball training. John uses the PbtA Monster of the Week system with players upgrading each time they go up a grade at school.

The best place for more about Blittle League Blaseball is their website.
YouTube is the best place to listen/watch Blittle League Blaseball.
And the team’s other project is called Dungeons and TBD.
