I still see the big problem being the names, and coming up with good unique ones.
I do like the idea of changing injuries as well (axe to the skull).
Made me think of WH40K game... Imagine a Tyrranid baseball player  |
I originally wanted to try doing a 40K league (I didn't know a ton about Warhammer) but it would hard considering that all humans in that universe are vehemently opposed to anything non-human and a tyranid team would probably be killed on site
The Warhammer universe fits a better with "old school" feel of baseball seen as you don't need much technology to build a bat and ball.
markyah is working on a names list right now while I'm working on the cities and nations files. The injuries will be pretty normal although I did have an idea to attempt to have players leaving to go off to fight some war during the season. It could be something like "Player X has left the team to join the great crusade north against the evil Chaos gods... ...he is not expected to return"
We are going to include separate dwarf and elf leagues (independent leagues) where dwarf and elf players will develop specific skills such as increased HR power in the dwarven players and increased speed in the elven players as an example. The "professional" human league will then be able to draft from those leagues (as well as their own minor leagues). It will probably be limited how many elf or dwarf guys you can have on a team though.
The "fluff" is also coming together as the league becomes more of a reality. Once we get the league set-up and structure all finished then the next step is giving the game some history in the Warhammer world and making it all fit in nicely
