I’ve been so excited about the WPBL that I made three more teams for my absurdist baseball TTRPG, Ball Game, in honor of the first game today! the NY Rats are already in BG, but it felt weird to not include a team for the Heights. enjoy! :D

The New York Rats The New York Rats have a reputation for being rude, but that couldn't be further from the truth. They can be a little cliquey, keeping to themselves and not really interacting with other teams, but if you're on the Rats, you've got a family in your fellow rodents. That is, unless you get drafted to another team. Then you're dead to them. They might even pretend you were never on the team in the first place. Team Move Once per session, each player can perform the following action: You can summon a small swarm of actual rats. Roll 1d6 to determine how many. They remain with you until the end of the scene or Game.The Boston Whalewatchers Known as the Boston Whalers until 2012, the Whalewatchers are still as brutal as ever, even with the name change to make them sound less aggressive. Rumor has it their coach encourages fights with opposing players to get the Whalewatchers to get them "fired up, or, I guess, watered up, haha" before a Game. That being said, there have been several pictures on social media of the Whalewatchers being friendly with opposing teams off the field. Except for the New York Rats, fuck the New York Rats. Team Move Once per session, the team can perform the following action: While losing a Game, the Whalewatchers can cause the field to suddenly flood. This causes the Game to be cancelled and rescheduled, and everyone on both teams must reroll everything, taking the second roll, no matter what it is.The Los Angeles Monarchs The LA Monarchs are supposedly much less arrogant than their royal name may suggest, though at least half of them have a really good idea for a screenplay. Despite their good standing on the leaderboards, filling the position of coach for the Monarchs is rather difficult, as many of them get decapitated. It's unclear if this is related to the travel-size guillotine the Monarchs always have on hand. Team Move Once per session, each player can perform the following action: If you say "off with their head!" to any NPC, set a timer for 30 seconds. At the end of that 30 seconds, the NPC will be decapitated. Whether or not this kills them is up to you.The San Francisco Wizards Joining the San Francisco Wizards is said to be a more cost-effective option for folks that can't afford magic school. The Wizards have access to ancient tomes and runic scrolls that tell the secrets of the universe, which includes baseball. You'd think, as a baseball team, they'd use this knowledge to get better at the game. But lately they've just been casting Guiding Ball to get the ball where they want it, which leads to some kinda boring games. Team Move Once per session, each player can perform the following action: You cast Fireball. A big ball of fire envelopes the area around you causing a huge commotion, you know the drill. Everyone in your immediate vicinity takes 3d6 damage (reminder: Ball Game does not have a hit point mechanic).
Sharks are friends@sharkseveryday.bsky.social · 4w ago

Happy shark awareness day!! 💙🦈 Sharks are not only cool but also some of the most misunderstood creatures. They are important predators that keep other animal populations in check. If they disappeared the whole ocean ecosystem would collapse They are wild animals, not monsters!

Other small fish can also be seen swimming around themA great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) diving down from the surface A group/shiver of nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum) swimming closely to each other and in circles.

been doing this thing I call “night worldbuilding” where I get a bunch of ideas for my fantasy world before bed and then hope and pray I don’t hate everything I’ve written in the morning
