First a bit about the system and how it works:All of us here have equal creative power. At times we’ll have different roles and authority, but we’re all equal participants and authors. “It may sound like I’m running the game because I’m going to be explaining a lot about the rules, and I may interrupt and jump in to clarify how the game is played. But I don’t have any more authority than anyone else when it comes to actually playing the game -- there’s no GM. Now that we know what the game’s about, we’re ready to get started.Microscope is a little like Poker: you want to keep your cool ideas close to your vest until you use them. If the rest of us know what you’re going to do ahead of time, it’s not as interesting.First, we want to brainstorm a simple overview of the history we want to play. If you were looking in a history book, this would be the one line that summarizes what happens, but leaves out all the details. It should be no more than a single sentence.Some examples:An ancient empire rises and falls.Cavemen at the dawn of time found the first civilization.Mankind leaves the sick Earth behind and spreads out tothe stars.Pick something big. We want a lot of time and space to work with.Don’t worry if your idea seems too simple or uninteresting. That’s normal at this stage. Fleshing out the interesting details is what the rest of the game is all about.So let’s start pitching some ideas. You can reply here and I will keep a doc as well that I will share with you all.Players: [MENTION=6801311]KahlessNestor[/MENTION] [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] [MENTION=6855545]Archon Basileus[/MENTION] [MENTION=59816]FitzTheRuke[/MENTION] [MENTION=79926]ART![/MENTION]</blockquote>
