Actually, survival got me into RPGs- "what do I do if this happens" is what we do here. OK, add a slightly different persona, maybe different tech level, and some dice to stand in for Murphy.

And I've come full circle- when I run a modern or WWII era campaign, I bestow a boon to those players who bring me the list of thier characters' PSK. If they BUILD thier character's PSK, it's a bigger reward, particularly if I know they are now thinking. I swear half my regular table lurks here these days, and probably 70% of them either have BOB or at least a box of stuff to grab and go if the Murphy Factor is high enough. And very few did that before they got to see how it works in simulation.
