I’ve run two games of The Quiet Year, one online.
The TL;DR: I suspect it’s a great game for people who don’t play TTRPGs, but are willing to stretch beyond card or board games.
I also suspect that for a TTRPG group it could be an interesting session 0 activity, or maybe session -1. Members of online communities I discuss TTRPGs with have shared their own positive experiences for such a use of The Quiet Year.
It’s definitely a fun game to play for people who don’t know what they’re in for. I’ll definitely keep it ready to try out again, either just for kicks, or with some constraints to use to set up the “home base” of a TTRPG campaign arc.
