What it is about
Ever have an meeting that just would. not. end? A presentation by someone five, ten, or fifteen years out of the field you're currently in? A PowerPoint of information you already knew, presented by someone who's reading it for the first time? How'd you like to play a game that's just that, but with dice? This Could Have Been An Email is a solo, GMless, RPG where you take on the hazardous role of an employee at a company of your choice, forced to sit through a brutal, multi-hour meeting with nothing to do but slowly lose your temper. Can you successfully subdue your justifiable urge to curse, yell, and storm out long enough to make it through the meeting? Probably not, but it'll be fun to try! This game requires two six sided dice, a pencil, and something to mark your annoyance.
