The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
June 3rd, 1979: Texas 400
Race results and current standings:
Your race winner, in real life and in this replay, Darrel Waltrip!
Despite starting 4th, Waltrip had an early race incident which sent him to the back of the field. This was a hard fought win, as he charged through the pack to lead the final 5 laps for the victory.
Next: the NAPA Riverside 400 @ Riverside International Raceway.
Stay tuned!
I’m going to sound like a broken record, but I’m going to try my best to FINALLY play a hockey or basketball game by the end of the month.
I should try to start the 1966-67 replay in either sport, either the Toronto Maple Leafs or San Francisco Warriors season replays.
PLAAY.com just updated Hockey Blast to version 5.0, and I’m interested in their All-Time Franchise Great Teams #2 set, which has the Sharks.
And the temptation to build yet another sports-themed dice tower/tray has been on my mind. A multi-use “arena” for hockey and basketball.
Stay tuned!
In my baseball projects, I find that I have little or no interest in playing any season past 1990, except for the Giants’ postseason campaigns when they won the World Series.
Though my fictional baseball leagues are based in more recent years (2016-).
As for football, I’m content playing the 1967 Denver Broncos season, dabbling a bit in the 1958 NFL season. I own the 2015 season only because of the Broncos Super Bowl championship, the majority of the other seasons that I own are pre-1990 as well.
I’ve had the itch to play football lately, but my disillusionment with the current NFL has stopped me from starting a new project with more recent teams and seasons.
The fictional league that I played with Pen & Paper Football was fun, but that was more of a quick-play game.
So I may go back to a project that I started to put together back in 2014: the Football Clubs of America league, using the 2014 Football America fictional league from PLAAY Games.
I went as far as renaming the teams and creating a schedule, so I may start from there again and maybe play a game occasionally.
The teams:
National Conference
Golden Bay Invaders
Los Angeles Bulldogs
New York Knights
Oklahoma City Wranglers
Portland Storm
San Antonio Riders
American Conference
Chicago Winds
Detroit Wheels
Memphis Hound Dogs
New Jersey Generals
Orlando Renegades
Philadelphia Bell
16-week schedule, no byes, teams play conference opponents twice and non-conference opponents once, top conference teams meet in the Championship Game.
We’ll see if I ever get this project started or not.
Stay tuned!
Edit: my mistake, it’s actually the Football America 2013 season.
A few weeks back I got the Stock Car Racing Pioneers set for the Red White & Blue Racin’ game.
And even though I already have 3 series underway (1979 Winston Cup, 2016 SCRAM, 2016 SCRAM Trucks), I came up with a preliminary 32-race schedule for the Pioneers Series. I looked up a list of appropriate product brands for the series, which is based in the 1950s, as all tracks are from that era.
Most of these tracks are small dirt tracks.
The first and last races listed are on fictional tracks that I decided to locate in Hanford, Washington and Fresno, California.
Driver list with car sponsors will soon follow.
Stay tuned!
I came up with the rosters for the Deadball 1909 league, but then decided not to build it further for now, since I still have:
on top of the Deadball 2018 SFBAL season.
That’s a lot of stuff. That list doesn’t even include the mini-replays (John D’Acquisto rookie season, Doc Gooden Cy Young season, various Giant-Dodgers replays, MLB Postseason replays, etc.).
And then there’s the occasional golf tournament, wrestling event and boxing match.
And the non-sports table top games.
So little time.
The Deadball 1909 season may or may not ever materialize. At least not in the near future.
Stay tuned!
Renovations Coming to PepsiCo Park: The rumored color change will happen soon. A darker shade of (Pepsi) blue will be the official color of the stadium. In addition, there will be a few more imaginary skyboxes and seats added to the stadium. Ticket prices are expected to remain the same.
MGD Strikes Again: Not so much a new game (for Multiple Game Disorder), but the Silverado Golf Course has been ordered for ASG Golf, even though I have the course set in History Maker Golf.
SFBAL Schedule: It appears a 90-game schedule will be played, with the 10 teams playing each other twice. Schedule particulars will be announced later.
Stay tuned!
