Hi, all! I'm Toadeightyfive. I used to be pretty active on here years ago, not so much lately but still lurk sometimes.
I've been working on a new RPG game I think some people on the boards might be interested in. It uses a spreadsheet-based algorithmic system that simulates the results of Mario Kart races. If you decide to play, you're put into the role of a race team owner: you'll be able to scout and sign drivers, upgrade your kart, network with sponsors, and lead your team to glory!
Think of it kind of like Out of the Park Baseball or Football Manager, but with Mario Kart, and done by a Google Docs sheet instead of AI.
There's a link to the spreadsheet below, with more detailed information about the game's rules and how it works. There's also a Discord link below to the chatroom for the game; it really helps to keep track of many of the bells and whistles of this game, and you get to see results and talk to other team owners live. However, it's not strictly necessary: if you don't have a Discord account or prefer to stay on the forum, I'll be posting updates from the game here in this thread either way. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send them my way.
Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZrGJqNF9tf3pibxE47qGEy4TMioUnk3rAwro8GLrL_A/edit#gid=750015897
Discord server: https://discord.gg/6b7whTU
The inaugural driver draft should be completed this weekend, likely Sunday. Join the Discord server or leave a comment below here if you'd like to sign up. All you'll need to do is select a name and number for your race team, and you'll be entered into the draft. There's no max or min on the number of players.
If nothing else, thanks a ton for taking the time to read through this!
(PS: Gotta give a shout-out here to /u/Samster_1991 on Reddit for developing a lot of the original spreadsheet formulas I'm borrowing/tweaking for this game. This project wouldn't be possible without him, and if you like this game you should really check out the original NASCAR RPG he runs, or one of the other RPG games developed by our smallish community. DM me for details if so.)
(PPS: I'm not 100% sure whether this better fits in Forum Games or Fan Creations, or if the Discord link toes the line on Marioboard's advertising policy, so moderators if there's an issue please let me know.)
