Can we go back to mobsters beating up bad management again please?

Same, I've always played inverted. Pretty sure it's from N64 flying games, pilot wings and such.
Has anyone run a completely randomly generated session before? Random as in, not a handful of prepared encounters the PCs can seek out, but random as in every encounter is generated on the fly such that not even the DM knows what's going to happen.
There are a whole bunch of random generators on donjon, and I figured I could probably open a bunch of them in different tabs and roll them when I need...
But is this style of play even fun? And is it an effective use of our 8 hours a month? (It sounds fun to me; I have till January to figure out if I can pull it off though lol)
I think you've forgotten about pilots and surgeons and such... not exactly OJT material.
I only run west marches style games now. The pcs need to be back in town by end of session or miss out on carousing or possibly worse depending on where they are. Each game is self contained so people can drop or join as they want.
I didn't mean to imply that I would run them "through" B2 "then" DCC#100. I meant to say that I would stock the dungeons and factions with the content from DCC#100, the factions/cults from DCC #100 are described as their own little mini modules with their own hooks and lore and such, so I thought I could dot them around the caves and let the players discover them. Rumors could point them to the factions and they can learn about how they are all connected by the "thing in the caves".
B2 is super vague about the politics of the caves; it basically fills the maps with mobs and loot, then says the traveling cleric is a spy. So I thought that the monsters/loot in the cave make a pretty good cover story to keep people out, the perfect place to hide the McGuffin from DCC#100. I wouldn't push them that way, but the adventure culminating in destroying the thing the evil factions of the cave are trying to hide feels like a natural conclusion.
Again, I've only ever ran one-shots, and the "traditional" open ended game I'm playing sucks as an example.
And what make you think that 50% would vote the way you want them to? Remember that people are fucking retarded. End of thought.
It doest help that I work for [big corp], where the talented are poached and the remainder stick around for the swag.
I think it's because they used to be exciting and mysterious, now they are just tedious and terrifying.
18 month project is winding down. I suspect it will have 1 use in the next 4 years we are supporting it.
The tool is basically a copy of the S3 browser, only shittier. The license for the S3 browser is only 20 bucks btw.
