I know we've had our storybooks and other formats forever but in my time away from YWS I got into the distinguished pizza-and-beer hobby of tabletops and I was wondering

How do we feel about roleplay with game mechanics

(and I don't mean D&D although I will run it if people ask me enough)

(I've also gotten into solo RPG so there's that)

I’ve run one or two with game mechanics before! Notably a ghost hunter one where we spun a wheel of ghosts each week to figure out what our characters would be hunting next! roleplays with game mechanics are totally possible and could easily fit into any of the categories depending on how loose or how plot based you want the story to be.

I think I will always be a narrative based GM but like, I also just love the unpredictability of RPGs at times, like
what happens if things DON'T go your way
maybe we should do something for that

Same here! I think it would be really fun to try and I would be more than happy to join in if you want to try and start one like that!
