Hey all,

We’re going to be playing a game of Microscope on Discord! I will post the results of the various stages of the game here but the main play will take place over there so, if you’re interested in joining in, head over and join in! :grin:

No experience with the game is required, goodness knows I’ve got none! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

We’re entering Step 4 (pages 15-16 in the rulebook) so it seemed like a good time to recap what we have so far:

Big Picture

The great flood begins!

History bookends

Beginning

An asteroid hits the arctic ice shelf (dark).

Ending

The Lightbringers have come! (light).

  • YES to Floating cities made from scrap ships and flotsam.
