Setting the Stage Episode 67 – John and Blittle League Blaseball

John tells us about his actual play show, Blittle League Blaseball! The show is based on the now passed internet phenomenon, Blaseball.

Character card of my friend Emmas character Ekman (bfs with Elijah). He stands with a hockey goalie mask in his hand, looking up into the sky. Behind him is a conspiracy board connecting alien theories. His name is spelled out in magazine letters. Below is a close shot of him blabbing with lots of text behind him
