Hey all,

We’re going to be playing a game of [Microscope](https://geni.us/weyD) on [Discord](https://discord.gg/yWzUEh4hzP)! 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! 😁

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

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).

## Ingredients

- **YES** to giant mutant sea-life.
- **YES** to roaming gangs of irritating politicians asking for your votes.
- **YES** to a MadMax/Waterworld aesthetic of reused/recycled everything.
- **YES** to Floating cities made from scrap ships and flotsam.
- **NO** to descriptions of gory violence and horrific gross things, like cannibalism or medical trauma.
- **NO** to Cthulhu/established Mythos stuff.
- **NO** to warp, no transporters, no “magical” alien tech.
