Use this thread to sign up for Microscope, run by Ben Robbins, in the FRI-01 slot. For 3 players plus Ben. Do you find this valuable?

What is Microscope? It's fractal gaming, knowing the end of history and drilling down to find out the details, shifting the focus across time and space at will.

It's a GM'less, no prep game, with all the participants having a lot of creative authority.

If we wind up with too many people we'll see if we can draft someone who has already played to run a second group at the same time.

I think I'll start a tradition of first night gm-less gaming with Michael. Apparently. I'm interested. Do you find this valuable?

Rockin. Four is perfect for one game -- if more people are interested we'll spawn a second group at the same time (just sign up here and we'll sort it out once we see how many people we get).

The new edition of Microscope just went out to playtesters, so if you want to read it before the game drop me an email at microscope-playtest + lamemage.com, or whisper me your email on story games and I'll send you the link.

It isn't required -- just showing up and playing is a-okay. Do you find this valuable?

Hi everyone! We're making the master sign-up sheets for Go Play NW. The master sheet will reflect this thread as it currently stands, so if there are any changes between now and then, the master board won't show them. Feel free to keep talking and scheduling. Do you find this valuable?
