Age of Slam
COME ON AND SLAM AND WELCOME TO THE AGE OF UNENDING HOOPS
Age of Slam is a theoretical basketball version of Blood Bowl to go with Age of Sigmar which has been discussed in several threads. Slambo is a possible commentator, as are demigod versions of Jim and Bob and Zodiacal monsters. Title subject to change.
Proposed rules involve the height/size of models, dribbling, passing, and shooting, expanded staff rules, and a balance between intentional violence and free throw awards. Baleful Realmgates are the current proposed hoops.
The beginning
Lord Tyrion and Malerion were guiding their armies of Aelfs against Slaanesh with the objective to free their race’s souls. When the two Aelf gods beated hard Slaanesh and he vomited other Aelfs, the Exile Aelfs (AKA Druchii) proposed a challenge invented during their imprisonment inside Slaanesh’s stomach after having visions of another world. They would play a match of Age of Slam against Daemonettes in Slaanesh’s Dark Court. In this way Age of Slam was created and this game obtained great success in all the nine realms. The Realmgate Wars were forgotten and all that mattered was winning the current tournament of Age of Slam. Welcome to this new age, where centaurs can play basketball and Sigmar is a hooligan.
Rules
These are the first rules for Age of Slam. They are modifications to the Murderball rules. You can find them on page 121 of Warpheim rulebook:

The following hymn was written by a glorious anon:
Yo.
Yo.
Lizards toss the rock like big cock shock jocks. A blizzard of free throws and dope flows are all you've got in store as we drop you on the floor like Be'lakor.
Bustin' through hoops with newly spawned troops like "hey bitch it's on!" taking rude poops on groups cause y'all can't handle the song of the Seraphon.

Nagash, the Great Necroslammer
King Slamm-Ra
Formerly known as Settra the Imperishable, after Nagash the Necroslammer defeated him in a game of b-ball and took his entire kingdom, Sett-Ra vowed that he would not rest until he had returned the favor. He delved into the secrets of B-Ball, uncovering ancient b-ball arts unknown to mortal minds, transforming himself into the mighty Slamm-Ra.
