| 20:15-20:30 | New members introduction | Each attendee may introduce themselves, their context for attending the meetup, their experience with RPGs (including this particular system,) and pitch anything they’re working on that may be related to RPGs. |
| 20:30-21:00 | initial Discussion: initial impressions & reading experience, comparisons with previous/other editions | How much of the book have you read? What were your initial impressions of the book/system, and did it meet any expectations you had? What parts stood out, positively and/or negatively? Section-by-section review, comparing the book’s contents versus those of an older edition (or analogous equivalent.) |
| 21:00-21:15 | intermission | toilet break |
| 21:15-21:45 | Deep Dive Discussion: | “What are the core mechanics of this system, and how do they differ (from D&D?)” “Are there any rules that seem ambiguous or require clarification?” “What are the strengths and weaknesses of this system’s design?” “What is the overall tone/mood the system tries to establish?” “How does the lore/setting presented in the system inspire you?” “What kind of stories do you think this system is best suited for?” “If we were to play this, what kind of story would you be interested in?” “What do you think about the character creation process? Is it intuitive/complex?” “Are there any common house rules for this system?” |
| 21:45-22:00 | Recap & Closing remarks. Thank you. | Participants are encouraged to reflect & continue the discussions: KakiTabletop/RPGMY Social Media: FB Group, Discord channel, sub-Reddit, etc. or on their own social media, with the hashtag/topic: #RPGMY |
