This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.206.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Replay Publishing''' is a [[game]] [[company (law)|company]] based in [[Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania]], that develops and publishes sports simulation games for the tabletop and computer. They currently produce Replay Baseball, Replay Basketball, and PC Replay Baseball. Competitors past and present include [[APBA]], [[Diceball]], [[Strat-O-Matic]], [[Big League Manager]], [[Design Depot]], [[Negamco]], [[Pursue the Pennant]] and [[Statis Pro Baseball]].

Replay Baseball was first developed by Norm Roth and John Brodak, and first published in 1973 by Replay Games of [[Carmichaels, Pennsylvania]].<ref>[http://www.replaybb.com/about.htm "About Replay Publishing"]</ref> They continued publishing the game until 1991, when they moved on to other pursuits due to the rising financial cost due to licensing with the [[Major League Baseball Players Association]].<ref>((Cite web|url=http://tabletopbaseball.org/replay.html|title=Replay Baseball Board Game|website=tabletopbaseball.org|access-date=2019-01-09))</ref> In 1998, Pete Ventura and Replay Publishing resurrected the franchise with the release of their first yearbook for Replay Baseball. A brand new Replay Basketball was released in 2003, and PC Replay Baseball was created for computer play and released in 2009.

In August 2007, the company held Replay Retreat 2007 in [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]].<ref>[http://www.replaybb.com/ReplayRetreat2007.htm "Replay Retreat 2007, Pictures"]</ref>  In July 2014, another Replay Retreat was held in Pittsburgh.  Replayers from all over the nation came for a weekend of fellowship and gaming.  A tournament was held and Michigan teacher Jim Woods emerged as champion in a thrilling extra inning comeback that will never be forgotten by those that watched the final in person.

Replay Baseball is played using three dice (red, white, and blue), and a Chart Book. Play is controlled by rolling three dice (red/white/blue), and using the numbers to obtain results by referencing the pitcher and batter cards, as well as the chart book. The Chart Book is offered in two formats, the Current Chart Book being valid for the new yearbook format and for original seasons produced after 1987, and the White/Classic Chart Book being valid for original seasons produced before 1987. Playtime can be as little as 15–20 minutes per game, according to TableTop-Sports administrator Jeff Downey.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.tabletop-sports.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=5|title=tabletop-sports.com :: Where rolling the dice is King!|website=www.tabletop-sports.com|access-date=2019-01-09))</ref>

Replay fans are known to play co-op games that are coordinated in their online forum, which builds a sense of community around the game. In an interview<ref>((cite web | url=http://statelineobserver.com/content/view/1175/43/ | title=Craig Pillow: Replay simulation baseball 10.31.2007 | last=Green | date=2007-10-31))</ref> with ''The Stateline Observer'', player Craig Pillow noted:

((Quote box

Replay Baseball offers a number of past seasons, in both a yearbook (precut cards) and team book ([[eBook]] only) format. In addition, there are still copies of the original game (Replay Classic) and seasons available.

Replay Baseball has been mentioned in two books to-date,<ref>Guzzo, Glenn (2005). ''Strat-O-Matic Fanatics: The Unlikely Success Story Of A Game That Became An American Passion''. Chicago: ACTA Sports. ((ISBN|0-87946-280-9))</ref> with one providing a four-paragraph write-up concerning the game.<ref>Carroll, B., Thorn, J., Reuther, D. (1990) ''The Whole Baseball Catalogue''. New York: Simon & Schuster. ((ISBN|0-671-68347-0))</ref>

In 2004, Replay published a yearbook of the 1923 [[Negro National League (1920-1931)|Negro National League]], using full statistical data not yet published elsewhere but provided by the researcher.  The data published in the yearbook remains the most complete for a single Negro league season.  Company owner Pete Ventura donated a portion of his profits to a Negro Leagues Widows fund, helping out pensionless widows of Negro leaguers.<ref>[http://www.replaybb.com/BBPages/BBProductDescriptions/NLWidowsThanks.htm Negro League Widows<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

The company also donated games to [[Walter Reed Army Medical Center|Walter Reed Medical Center]] in 2006 and 2007 for convalescing soldiers.((Citation needed|date=December 2007))

===Reception===
Writing for ''Command'', Dennis Agosta compared ''Replay Baseball'' to two contemporary tabletop baseball games, ''[[Strat-O-Matic Baseball]]'' and ''[[APBA Baseball]]'', and said "''Replay Baseball'' is the best of the three games. [Unlike ''APBA Baseball''], ''Replay Baseball'' does not suffer from statistical inaccuracies introduced by manager actions." Agosta concluded, "''Replay'' does not have an advanced game — all of the advanced features of ''S-O-M'' and ''APBA  Master Game'' are built into the basic game and are used with no difficulty."<ref name="cmd">((cite magazine |last=Agosta|first=Dennis|date=September 1984|title=Game Review: Tabletop Baseball|magazine=Command|volume=2|issue=1|pages=5–6))</ref>

== Replay Basketball ==
[[File:BKGameBook.jpg|thumbnail|left|Replay Basketball Game Book]]
((more citations needed|section|date=May 2023))
Replay Basketball is offered in both the original dice version, and a new card-only version.

The game offers a number of past seasons in both a yearbook (precut cards or perforated card sheets) and team book (eBook only) format.

This game was independently and comprehensively reviewed by a customer and game designer, Brien Martin, on his fan site, [https://web.archive.org/web/20091027120209/http://geocities.com/aslplayer63/hoopscentral/review.htm Replay Hoops Central].  Based on comments found at the company's official on-line forum, a number of potential customers have used this comprehensive review to assess their potential interest in the game.

== Second Season Pro Football ==
[[File:SSGameBook.jpg|thumbnail|right|Second Season Game Book]]
((more citations needed|section|date=May 2023))
Originally the creation of Keith Avallone of Plaay Games ([http://www.plaay.com Plaay Games]), the right to publish Second Season was granted to Replay Publishing. The game is played using two dice (one black, one white) and a game book. Play begins by selecting two teams, which will face one another in the simulated game. Following kickoff, the offensive team selects a play and a target player, while the defense is chosen by a roll of a die (for solo play). Once the play and defense are determined, the two dice are rolled, and read together.<ref>[http://www.replaybb.com/FBPages/SSHowTo.htm Second Season How-To]</ref> For example, a black 4 and a white 3 would be read as '43' (similar to other games, such as [[APBA]] Football).

This number is then used to reference the game book, which will produce a result for the play called by the offensive coach. An example of the game book can be seen at right.

Second Season has a number of past season sets available, offered in the yearbook format. In addition, a How-To guide is also produced which allows players to create their own teams from past football seasons.

On January 20, 2010, Pete Ventura of Replay Publishing announced that Second Season Football was returning to the Plaay Games fold, who would be publishing the game beginning Summer 2010.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://forums.delphiforums.com/dflogin|title=Delphi Forums Login|website=Delphi Forums|access-date=2019-01-09))</ref>
