Plan B

I would playtest the games I've been designing for four days, and run or play Risus, Fudge, and Sherpa for three days. And we'd play Red Flags before each session.


Plan C

I would pick one role-playing game and run it for seven days as part of a new campaign. And we'd play Tiddlywinks before each session.
