The Quiet Offseason
A PDF document titled "Blastball-ified" by Michael Smith outlines how he adapted his novel into an interactive tabletop game based on Blaséball's structure and mechanics while still maintaining its themes through dialogue in a more accessible way for readers unfamiliar with the original book. The player assumes various roles throughout their story, such as protagonist John Crumb or antagonist Professor Quayle (the latter of whom is named after William Faulkner), which contributes to an intriguing plot that intertwines thematic elements from both novels while also creating its own distinct storyline set within a Blaséball-inspired structure. The document concludes by describing the game's evolution and development, including updates on characters like Professor Quayle (who has become more complex with each appearance in subsequent installments) or new story arcs that have emerged since initial publication of Blastball-ified: A New World to Enter is a fantasy adventure video game where players take control of either John Crumb and his companion, an orphan boy named Billy. The two boys are orphans who lost their parents at the hands of evil knights during King Arthur's battle in Camelot on Christmas Eve 1066 AD (also known as St Crispin
