Microscope second edition opens its worldbuilding campaign

Ben Robbins says Microscope second edition is funding on Kickstarter with an October29 closing date.

Ben Robbins has announced a new edition of Microscope, with its Kickstarter campaign running until October 29. In the designer’s October 20 press release, the revision is positioned as an easier entry point for people who have never played the collaborative history-building game. The campaign page was accessible with a

backing option when checked. Microscope asks a group to construct a history together rather than follow events in chronological order. Players can establish an ending, return to an earlier period and explore the moments that explain how their world changed. It uses index cards and requires neither a game master nor

advance preparation. Robbins says the new edition aims to make that process clearer straight from the book; the announcement does not give a confirmed delivery date for finished copies.
