Creating fictional teams & players for W.M. Akers' "Deadball"

A look at the mechanics of creating fictional teams and players for Deadball.

The "franchise generator" comes from "Deadball Year II" which was the third book released by W.M. Akers. The player generator I'm using is from the just-released "Deadball: Second Edition"

Note, this video is mostly looking at Excel and some graphics from the Deadball books. I don't show the actual charts from the books, but I do go through the process and talk about how it works, roll the dice, and apply the results.

If it's still July 2022 when you view this, DriveThruRPG has a "Christmas in July" sale going on where you can get the earlier Deadball books or PDFs for 25% off. Note too that if you do have (or get) the 2nd Edition, you would not need the original or the 1909 books since the 2e is an update of both the modern & ancient era rules (you would miss the original Southern Circuit seasons however).

Year II has some nice additions aside from the Franchise Generator system so check out the link above for more info on that. Year III and Year IV also have some things that are not in the 2nd Edition.

Happy Gaming!
