==Why==
Disposable gamedays are (usually) one-off gamedays that are used to explore new or alternate rules (and systems), weird ideas, or to let off gaming steam. They usually happen on weekends and generally not with great frequency.
Daryl and Randy have been craving a bit more gaming lately. It's fun!

==What==
Themes to play
*Roll-everything '' - nothing is a flat 10 base - DCs for saves are rolled (that little snake might be DC 21 fort save instead of 11!), AC base, etc'' (Randy)
*[Under]water '' - an oceanic if not underwater game'' (Mike)
*True20 '' - A d20 system with stripped-down base classes and every class ability is a feat/feat tree'' (Daryl)
*Gestalt '' - D&D variant where every character gains 2 classes per level''
*Group Builds
**All-the-same-class '' - everyone has to play different builds of the same class, such as everyone picks a different god for their cleric or a different school to specialize in for wizard, or different feat trees for a fighter''

Other systems?

*Paranoia '' - humoorous, dark humorous, or just dark dystopian sci-fi''
*Unisystem '' - a d10-centric rules-medium system with a lot of customizability''
*Lundia '' - Playtesting [[User:Askewnotion|Askewnotion]]'s home made RPG system. A d6 system in the genre of pulp fantasy.
