Hey batter batter! Through Tuesday, March 31 – just in time for the 25 March Opening Day of baseball season in the US – we present the all-new Deadball Bundle featuring Deadball, the dice game that simulates baseball games past and present from Akers Games. Deadball is a fast-paced game for one or two players that uses real statistics every fan understands, like batting average and ERA, so new players can pick it up in minutes. Using the simple, intuitive rules and a set of polyhedral dice, you can simulate an entire game between real or imaginary teams in about 20-30 minutes.
Because Deadball is based directly on real stats, you can play as any team you want from any era, 1900 to today. Pit history’s greatest teams against each other, or replay classic World Series. Watch today’s all-stars go head-to-head with the legends of the past. Any match-up you can imagine, Deadball makes real. Don’t want real players? Generate your own players, teams, and leagues faster than you can say “Play ball!” Whatever you love about baseball, Deadball brings it to life.
Deadball‘s creator, W.M. Akers, designed the Apocalypse Engine-based Comrades: A Revolutionary RPG (in our April 2023 Solidarity Bundle) and the 2020 space survival game Lost Ship. He’s also written the Westside series of alt-historical fantasy novels, the new mystery To Kill a Cook, and Critical Hit: A Gaming Mystery (2021). (W.M. Akers on Goodreads.) W.M. lives in Philadelphia, but he hasn’t yet traded in his Mets cap.
The best version of baseball is the one that exists in your head. When you listen to the game on the radio or follow the action on your phone, you’re seeing something better than the action on the field. You’re watching it in your mind, where every catch is a miracle, where every home run is mammoth, where every play is decided by an inch. This all-new Deadball Bundle captures that kind of baseball.
Pay just US$9.95 to get all five titles in our Deadball Collection (retail value $50) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the complete Deadball: Baseball With Dice Second Edition (along with the pay-what-you-want First Edition from 2017), plus the historical edition Deadball: 1909 and three supplements that provide statistics for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 seasons: Deadball Year II, Year III, and Year IV.
Get this Deadball offer before it heads to the locker room Tuesday, March 31.
