RPG Trivia at DLCon- signups/etc
« on: May 08, 2010, 02:05:07 AM »
This seems like something cool to do at DLC.

The format is Jeopardy style. It's broken up into two rounds, same as before.  Ciato reads off a question, you get a set amount of time to decide if you want to guess at it. You get another set amount of time to write down your guess, gain points if it's right/lose points if it's wrong.

Are people interested in this? I have a set of questions more or less ready to go.

Count me in.

Oh yes, suggesting the maybe the second round is narrowed down to the top 3 in round 1. I think you can buy Jeopardy style buzzers (And if you have buy them in sets greater than 3, you can narrow it down to more people).

Sounds good.
Rocky: you do know what an A-bomb is, right?
Bullwinkle: A-bomb is what some people call our show!
Rocky: I don't think that's very funny...
Bullwinkle: Neither do they, apparently!

Dhyer: I'd be fine with that, as long as people are fine with the second round being more limited. Where would I get buzzers?

This game has a free form player asked and answered question mode and has buzzers for up to 4 people at a time if you were interested.

I'm in if I make it. Which is looking pretty likely.

I'll have to look at that when I get home, grefter. But yeah having buzzers would help- does the game let you make custom quizzes?

Don't have the game at my place (parents have it) so I can't check for sure, but from memory at least the first one did.
