#Odyssey2051I am looking for a way to tell a tale of transformation, composed as a road trip story with strong vibes of (techno)magic realism. The protagonist is a small intentional community, displaced physically and pushed out of their comfort zone.
They have to travel, in a rapidly changing world, to find new place to settle, raise next generation, and pass the narrative forward.
Their transition is from a sedentary and reactive, though nomadic and reactive, nomadic and proactive to sedentary and proactive. In a sense it is also a
rite of passage story.
While traveling, they encounter various communities (
strangers coming to town trope) and individuals. These interactions are the essence of the story: how they influence both the protagonist community and its members, shaping future interactions as well.
The goal is to make the story immersive and interactive, so participants can essentially try new social dynamics, personal aptitudes and attitudes, in a safe and nurturing environment (not just milk and honey, though).
Obviously, we (the authoring collective
#TePeWu) need to choose a form which will be "rules-easy and narrative-heavy" and it will be most probably something in the area of
#NordicLarp,
#NarrativeRPG or some kind of emergent collective
#Drama. We are absolutely open for other suggestion, too.
If you read it and feel like joining us (there will be various levels of involvement - personal, as
we do not need the money at the moment), you are most welcome to.
If you have corresponding experience, knowledge or skills you are keen and able to share with us, you are most welcome to.
If you have anything else to contribute to the topic - go ahead.
The story's provisional title is
Odyssey: 2051. #Solarpunk in the age of #collapse. It is a not-for-profit venture and all outcome will be publicly available under
