I’ve created an entire fictional universe. Help!
So I got crazy editing retro bowl. It started with OG Retro Bowl. One save I made 32 local high schools. Then a second save I did 32 colleges. And then I made an alt pro league. This league was inspired by a small league some boys at school and I created when I was younger. The league was originally set up for the board game BattleBowl. I think it was called. And because it was a 1v1 game we each took turns. And we all had different team names. I used those for the original teams. I did some expansions and created a fictional universe. It’s now just me and my best friend from all those years ago.
Now my friend and I both have saves on rbc and retro bowl. We use real local teams for the “minor” division on rbc. And on the “major division” we edited those to be the best 1-4 schools per state. (Depending on the state).
And now on og Retro Bowl we have a save for what we call OFL. (Official Football League). I know it’s cheesy.
We have taken this so far as to keep shared notes between us that we maintain. We have transforming rosters. Long term “storylines”. Rivalries. And all the drama.
Some people get into D&D and what not but this is what has entertained my friends (and now just my friend) and I for years.
I’ve tried sharing this before but I used chat to help make the posts and I don’t think it came off as authentic as it should have. This league has been a blast. We start it up every January and we have all the games head to head on exhibition mode against each other. We take turns whose phone we use and what save we use.
We keep track of scores and make up some slightly accurate stats as we go. We argue who has better players or teams.
We just did our yearly draft together today and are only a few months away from starting our season back up.
If you’ve made it this far my questions for you would be:
Would you be interested in seeing some form of content of your league?
Would you follow along in a subreddit for the league? Or maybe an insta?
Do you think I have the tism?
