AND ITS MEGA.  Links of Notes Megagames are massive day-long experiences that blend roleplaying, board game-style mechanics, social gameplay and model-UN style simulation to a venue filled with anywhere from 30 to 300 players. Though the themes of games can range from sci-fi colony planets all the way to medieval courts, the unifying feature is simulating a massive, confusing crisis or conflict, and seeing how the existing structures and factions deal with the challenges of information and communication that the situation brings.Links: https://giantbrain.co.uk/2019/10/05/watch-the-skies-diary/Watch The Skies - Shut Up & Sit Down Play a Goddamn Megagame!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
