Scenario Simulator (All the Rules!)

[Pulpatoon]

Perfect!

One question I have is if we should actually put the LFP post gif each game in its sub-forum so we don’t crowd out the other LFG posts…

I added mine as I know the general LFG section is watched by most on the forum.

You could put the LFP post in the sub-forum and then post a link to it in this topic.

Yea. I’m just worried about the other LFG being buried. We could have a new single thread for the simulator where GMs would make a single post pointing to the specific simulator.

I will be prepared to start in a few days.

I’m interested in being a player. The two games that I have my eye on Black Hack and Blades in the Dark.

This is a brilliant idea!

Will this be a recurring thing? So, if I missed Tunnel Goons, I would be able to hop into the next scenario?

Maybe? Hopefully!

It was never my intention to set everything up, run a few games that caught an initial interest, then archive everything. I suspect this will be a bit of a permanent feature of the site, where the sub-forums for each game will exist and people can come and go as they please.

But, we'll see.

This is an awesome way to test systems out and for people like me who are thinking about running something but are a little hesitant to dive into something more involved. I've got a few games that I wouldn't mind running through the scenarios to see how they play. Depending on how that goes, I'd probably do an interest check on a longer running game.

[Rex]

That is my hope for HarnMaster. If it goes well and I can get some interest for a longer game I will run a campaign.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Similarly, I am excited to see how involved it is to actually run a game by participating in this limited capacity. I might be so bold as to run a full campaign if this goes well!

Did we ever decide a preference on where to announce recruiting for scenarios? I'm happy to start the Cold Iron and RQ ones.

Maybe sticky it to the top of LFG and lock it, just have a single post that points to the Scenario Simulator forum and explains to express interest in one of the interest threads there?

Agreed. "Always LFP" or something similar should be added to the title.

[Rusty Tincanne]

How will we find the scenario when it is ready?

Also, how much "flavor" are all of you planning to add to this? I could see it as just a bunch of rolls to see the mechanics, but I could also see adding in a bunch of fluff to make it more engaging.

Just wondering.

[Rex]

Mine will have some flavor, probably not as much as a campaign but at least some.

[Pulpatoon]

I expect to add a fair amount of flavor, because that's what gets me out bed in the morning!

[Norjax]

My intent is to run the scenarios lean, akin to how one would approach a one-shot, 4-hour Game Convention session.

[tibbius]

I have a whimsical scenario that I've run a few times, it offers all the options from that flowchart that I posted.

Edit to add: Maybe we simply should post the most recent list of challenges from the Scenario Q&A topic, into the Scenario topic, and add that each referee will flavor that list to suit.

[Rex]

That works for me.
