I was a runner for last years GenCon special. It was boring and couldn't been the easiest way for HQ to keep track of what the table were doing. This years special, Legacy of the Stonelords has a similar mechanic with table runners. So I got thinking .... why not bring some more technology into our game. There are several texting survey services available that I'm sure we could use. I've participated in a few text polls, but never set one up so I don't know the particulars.
Three quick sites I have found are: surveymonkey.com, smspoll.net, polleverywhere.com
For those who have set up these polls, here is an example of what we will be doing:
Spoiler:
Each table will have choices as to what area/encounter they will be participating in. One table may be going to A1, another B1, and still another C3. As a table completes an encounter they send a message to HQ recording their success. If we could send a text to HQ showing that we completed encounter say D2, we wouldn't need a runner. If this would work for us, on HQs computer they would have a list of encounters, say A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, etc. and it would show a total number of completions (votes) for each encounter. Then in real time, HQ could see when we have enough successes. I think the poll would need to be set up so you could vote more than once.
Just an idea worth exploring.
