I'm happy to report that it went very well. I have some thoughts to share on the experience, but they will have to wait until tomorrow. For now, take a look at the read-only corkboard that assembled from our hand-written notes. Starting from a fairly typical "dawn of mythic history" premise, we quickly veered into unexpected directions. The "Cajun Elven Ninja Clans" clearly was the highlight of the night.

I'd never heard of this game before. What are the mechanics like?
Always have to love those elven ninja clans!
Nice- looking forward to seeing the full write up.
Looks intriguing. I wonder if that would work for a Change Wars game?
@Narmer: Not so much mechanics as structure, I talked about it a bit in my previous posts on Microscope. I'll also talk about it a fair bit in my expanded after action report.
@Elbuagnin: Time travel is explicitly discouraged. For a game that can explore an entire history, keeping track of timelines would get crazy really quickly. I don't think it's impossible, but I'm not going to attempt something like that until I have a lot more experience with the system.
@Risus Monkey.
When I saw this on the Microscope site, I got excited:
"you can defy the limits of time and space, jumping backward or forward to explore the parts of the history that interest you"
So thanks for setting me straight. :)
