Blaseball interview: From backup plan to fantasy sports sensation

Blaseball’s latest era wrapped up July 26, and the credits have rolled. In that last era, the sun exploded, a black hole swallowed the rules, and fans — as a studio spokesperson said — melted The Coin and “the concept of money in the game was destroyed.”

In other words, it’s just another season for Blaseball, The Game Band’s horror game-in-fantasy sports wrapping. Blaseball isn’t really baseball in that it follows the rules of that game (or is about winning by scoring more runs). It’s a weird fantasy sports-like sim that runs off the votes of its players and their whims.
