I always wanted to see a full session of Microscope run by Ben Robbins himself, and now I can! 👍🏻 I'm excited to get Microscope 2E to the table whenever it's available. @lamemage.com - care to mention what online tool you're using in the video to facilitate play?
Want to see what a full game of Microscope looks like, from start to finish? This is for you. I raaaarely record games for the public, but I am excited to show off the new edition of Microscope and this was a real treat.

Microscope is a game near and dear to my heart and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to play the new edition with @lamemage.com himself www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1CL... rss vers: anchor.fm/s/f19dd798/p...
"Nunca falla" means "It never fails" Hell yeah
Anoche faltó un jugador para continuar con la campaña de Heroes of Cerulea así que recurrí a la confiable: Follow de @lamemage.com (publicado por @elrefugioeditorial.com) Tras un naufragio, montamos una colonia en una isla desierta acosada por extrañas criaturas... ¡Lo conseguimos! #lodelrol #ttrpg

"Because of that, seeing Ben Robbins releasing a new edition feels like a major win for narrative RPGs." Just doing what I can to bring some more fun into this decade

I'm going to be there! Chatting live, saying all the random things I say about games
A reminder that the Ludonarrative Dissidents are livestreaming later, with guests @mytholder.bsky.social and @lamemage.com to talk about Merryshire, Microscope and all points in between, plus Kickstarters. Join us at 23:00 Europe, 22:00 UK, 5pm Eastern, 4pm Central www.twitch.tv/RossPaytonRPPR
Look down at those seemingly boring old index cards. Then look up at those smiling faces. That's a perfect summary of Microscope.
Kicked off Gamehole Con in style with an amazing game of Microscope! We built a portal world, and also there was a hockey-playing duck somehow. With @alphastream.bsky.social @lyla.bsky.social @glyphtide.games @joeraso.bsky.social

Ludonarrative Dissidents Kickstarter update: * Funded in under nine hours, in the middle of a fantastic livestream with Meg and Vincent Baker * First stretch-goal unlocked * Added six episodes to the next season * Another livestream coming up on Friday, with @mytholder.bsky.social and @lamemage.com
I'm going to take these very kind remarks as an opportunity to harass @chobbs.bsky.social to make a new edition of Downfall. The people needs it!!!!
Microscope is the game I bust out when I want to introduce friends to weird games that celebrate their creative genius. I'm very excited especially for the rules updates to scenes in the new edition!
I'm doing an(other) Ask Me Anything, right now. If you've got questions, about the new Microscope (or really anything else) I am contractually obligated to provide answers www.reddit.com/r/rpg/commen...
Just played a lovely game of the new Microscope with @ericvulgaris.bsky.social and friends. It's going live on Once Upon A Game in maybe 2 weeks? This was another test of the new big picture method (which I haven't talked about yet) and it continues to deliver. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lam...
Interview with Dave Pruner talking about the new Microscope, West Marches, and about a million other gaming topics So much good rambling www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFMq...

Oh wow! This is an instant back for me. Microscope is a really interesting game and I highly recommend it! Particularly given one of the goals of 2nd Edition seems to be to further improve the on-ramp.

Microscope was the first TTRPG I ever played, years before the likes of D&D, and it was instrumental to the genesis of a sci-fi setting our group still plays in six years later. Very excited for this!

Microscope was instrumental to my development as a player (and maker) of games. It's still one of my favorite tools for making worlds to play in. The 1st Ed is excellent, can't wait for 2nd

For years I've used Microscope as a means to flesh out my DnD setting. Anytime I wanted to do a time skip in a game I'd play it and let my players contribute to what happened in the world between when they stoped adventuring and when they started again.

For a second I thought that was one wild game of Follow…
Today I and a rooomfull of folks took 'Follow' by @lamemage.com for a spin. We had four tables running and the stories so many explosions on the way to developing nuclear fusion energy, fighting a dragon, inciting a rebellion in the wild west, and failing to steal a giant golden state. Super fun!
We're having a little chat about the new Microscope (and games in general), if you're into that sort of thing… www.reddit.com/r/RPGcreatio...

Witness the burning truth
"Epherma was in peril, but that is when the Arbiters returned" Me between sobs: please just tell me about your game "With 3-5 players..." Me: Okay so is it GMless? "... you will confront lonliness and desperation on the glass dunes of Epherma" Me, sobbing again: godfuckingdamnit

Tapping the Microscope timeline for one-shots in the same setting: confirmed genius.
This brings up the second great thing about having built the world’s history with my Players using Microscope. When I want to do a one-shot or short game, we can just pick an event from ‘the past’ to play out in detail! Regardless, the game went well.
