We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

Interest gauge: tabletop sports project

I have a bunch of single-player narrative sports sim board games, and am thinking about doing a project where I use ALL of them in one big silly multi-sport tournament of fictional characters.

-Maybe someday I'd figure out a handcam and/or fancy graphics, but it'd probably be me talking over an excel sheet showing the game state

-Seems like something I should pre-record and edit down, at least the time spent rolling dice and consulting charts and possibly just boiling it all the way down to highlights

This is likely something I'm gonna do anyway, just a question of if there'd be enough interest to make it worth recording and uploading! Details under the cut in case anybody's as big a nerd about this kinda thing as I am

I'm a big fan of PLAAY, all this would be done with their stuff.

-16 teams of 10, probably based on individual fandoms (ie a Mario team, a Hololive team) but maybe some teams based on whole genres (an RPG team) or mediums (a books team).

-First round: they'll play each other in baseball (Express, if anybody actually knows the company). The losing teams will play each other in dodgeball. You have to win either one of those games to advance. (so 12 out of the 16 will survive)

-Second round: The teams are dissolved, it's now individuals. There will be a golf tournament and a tennis tournament. Both of those games have systems for narrowing down the field to a handful of finalists, so much like the first round, you have to accomplish that in either golf or the second chance of tennis to advance. I'll play out the whole thing though, it'll provide seeds for later.

-Wild card round: That won't quite be enough contestants to proceed, so I'll have some sort of runoff for people who didn't make the cut to play Fury Hardball (kinda an arcade-like baseball/cricket/wiffleball hybrid) for the last few slots. Details will be played by ear, since I won't have exact numbers until I get there, but we'd probably start with a couple dozen and narrow it to like 18.

-Semifinals: The surviving ~42 contestants have themselves a stock car race. Instead of a qualifying phase, starting positions will be based on results in golf/tennis/hardball. Top 30 advance.

-Finals: Pro wrestling! Royal Rumble style, specifically! There are a few homebrew modules I'd implement here. Entry order would be the opposite of the race results, so the winner of the race gets to enter last with a good chance at winning.

- Last year this time I was homeless in LA but was busy on tour only to finish with nowhere to go cuz I refused to give up on LA and go back to NY. I kept on and this year I have a full time position with benefits using my education degree, and still dream manifesting. I'm telling yall faith works when you do. It's gonna be alright. Smile. #PLAAY (at Los Angeles, California)
