get in the fucking robot play report
Apr. 9th, 2021 07:05 pmAbout a month ago I played a game of Get In The Fucking Robot with some friends (who may identify themselves at will) and had a fantastic time. Then I promised I would do a writeup. Then I found myself extremely stymied in doing a full writeup of the plot, so that may still come at a later date, but I did want to review the game, so I'm posting this now.
This game was written as a shitpost and some comments on tumblr and in the specs suggest that it was, ideally, meant to generate comedy, and maybe with a different group of players it can totally do that, but with our group it was an instant tragedy machine. Which was spectacular. I mean, it was a really, really good system. This might be my favorite quote-unquote one shot I've played in a year of playing a fair few! So I wanted to do a writeup/play report both because, you know, you enjoy a ttrpg you write a too-long review about it or record a podcast of it and I'm too lazy for podcast, and also because our game was great.
