What is your experience with spontaneously playing an RPG? i.e. You were someplace where you did not expect to play an RPG, and suddenly you are in a game (or starting one).


Do you have a question you want asked as QOTD? Post here!

If you are writing a post and include dice rolls, but delete it before posting, the rolls aren't ever resolved and I think they therefore aren't stored anywhere. That's not cheating - you never knew what the rolls were - effectively you changed your mind before the rolls were made.

Once you've hit "Post" the dice rolls are resolved and recorded against that post, and against the thread as a whole. So you can then see if any rolls have been recorded against the post but subsequently deleted, or look at the thread level to see if any rolls were made against a post that's been deleted entirely.

(WRT the rolls, not the completion) Interesting. Sad, but interesting. How exactly does one go about checking for something like that? I know that from time to time, I will write up an IG post, look at it in preview mode - before knowing the rolls - and then change my mind about what my PC will do. I've also realized on a couple occasions that what I had just written wasn't legal to do, and had to change it. I would delete the whole thing (hit cancel) and start from scratch. Does the geek roller store all of that info even if it's never saved as a post?

My first place vote was Divergent Yield, in the end I had to sort them in order of 'How likely am I to play this' and not based off some mathematical formula. So a lower ranked game was not there because it was unplayable, and some people really managed to make things look very nice in the short time allowed. Hopefully I can find a few hours to do this next year, and thanks to Steve for running.

Extreme Must PAY was my number one choice. It has a complete system, the explanations are excellent, and there's interesting background and NPCs to work with. It can only ever be a one-shot, but that's okay. I thought it was the total package, and excellent work given the constraints of the contest. Good stuff.

Thank you, very kind of you.
