Microscope is a GM-less Worldbuilding-based tabletop roleplaying game written by Ben Robbins and published by Lame Mage Productions in 2011.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The game involves a group of players collaboratively creating a timeline chronicling an epic history on a tremendous scale with near-limitless possibilities. It could be a history that mirrors our own or something completely new.The players collaboratively create a Mythopoeia that grows organically with each turn that passes. The big picture is epic in scale, but the title of Microscope comes from how the players can zoom in on any period of their emerging history and start a scene, which they and other players participate in. The scene might inspire another historical event, or even another historical period. New parts of the timeline can be created in any order.2015 saw the release of Microscope Explorer, an expansion book that adds a number of alternative rules, gameplay tips and step-by-step seeds to help facilitate smoother gameplay sessions.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Anachronic Order | |
| Microscope (Tabletop Game) / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: By design, the order in which the players come up with the events on the timeline is not the order in which they happened. More often, the players come up with events earlier in the timeline that influenced later events. | |

Alternate History | |
| Microscope (Tabletop Game) / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: The alternative to full-blown Mythopoeia or future settings is to have the players create a history that mirrors real life history, but with several noticeable changes to key events. | |

Backstory: Scenes and Events can be this for each other, with players jumping back and forth between certain events to explore parts of the world's earlier history that might have been a key influence on later events in the timeline. | |
