Absolutely! In fact we’ve been using this as an unofficial rule for some time now.

This is such a helpful idea. I just got the Microscope game and will be including this in games I run.

Just purchased the game and hope to use it as a preview/review for a chronology of themes in history for my Social Studies class. Thank you for pushing the RPG field in such an innovative way.

Comment on Actual Play Roundup: Microscope Online by gromka

hello,

I have been looking out for an easy way to play online, and I have found it.
I thought you might want to try.
It is very well done, easy, quick and free and seems to be the one way to play fast with Microscope online.

You use “noteboard” as period, then it is subdivided in events, and each “sticker” would be the sum up of a scene.

You can move the stickers easily.

Hope it will be helpful.

I am going to be trying a pretty interesting Microscope experiment coupled with a West Marches inspired idea for a campaign that will feature 20 people.

I’d suuuuure like to have a chat with you about it Ben if you’re reading this (I hope).

By the way I plug Microscope on the Bad Wrong Fun campaign site on Obsidian Portal.

Wow, thanks Erik! Hearing from people who really enjoy playing the game is the best reward of all. It sounds trite, but it’s 100% true.

Congrats! Really, this was meant to be an email, but I simply couldn’t find yours anywhere on the site. I’ll keep it short and simple, then: Microscope is so, SO fun! Playing it with four people from my regular RPG group, and we’re loving it. You deserve that award, and Game of the Year is a no-brainer as far as I’m concerned.

That, and your blog is amazing. I’ve fairly new at GMing, only done about 20 separate sessions, but it’s very fun. Reading ars ludi and everything there really inspires me to be more, to improve upon what I already have in terms of RPGs and having fun with them. I don’t think the same way about adventures, campaigns, player/character interactions or why things are the way they are anymore. I’ve also got the West March Itchies.

I could go on with the praise, but I think you get the picture. What you’ve accomplished here is truly inspiring, insightful and awesome in the true sense of the word. For that, with all my heart, THANK YOU!

Comment on My kingdom for a playtest by ben robbins

Me playing in the game. The next step (external playtesting) is people playing the game from the text without me.

So for now if you want to play it, you’ll just have to track me down and corner me some time…
