When I started this blog I said was going to post on it every day. What I had forgotten at that time was that I was off to a major Fest Larp.
Empire is one of the UK's biggest festival larps, and it is amazing. You should check out Charlie Moss's photography event Here. It is also worth noting that Empire is a game with a live economy, a very borked and dangerous one. I am now largely recovered, and caught up on all the things I should have been doing.
So the flavour of the moment in the red markets community is setting hacks. I will definitely be doing a Cyberpunk Hack, but their are several people already working on that.
So what might be an interesting addition, that hasn't already been suggested?
Well, what about Hack focusing on fantasy Hunter Gatherers, Spirits and a city of the gods?
The fallen world hack
Is set in a fantasy version of the late Pleistocene. It is a world of mammalian Megafauna, hunter gatherers, shamanic magic, and evil serpent people, that takes elements of farcry primal, conan the barbarians, and the cthulhu mythos and mash them together into a game of primeval survival horror.
You play a member of a human tribe, struggling against nature to survive at the feet of the great glaciers.
Thoughts?
What's your Bounty?
ReplyDeleteI will probably be splitting bounty into a couple of resources like food, water, and materials.
ReplyDeleteOur community needs x, but it needs Y more. There is an opportunity to get lots of X easily, or just enough Y for what I am trying to do, but at great risk.
Cool idea. Maybe do some anthropological research on hunter-gatherer economies, and develop some mechanical variations based on what you find. How collective is your tribe's property? What sorts of competition take place between tribe members? What social structures and contracts exist, and how are they violated and enforced?
ReplyDeleteThere is an episode of crash course world history where they talk about one of the hypothesized pre-currency economys; it was a bit like reputation from ep.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the research suggestions.
