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.
