hee hee. i feel like somebody let all the monkey’s out of the zoo and they ran right to my house and threw me a birthday party.
Crossing the ideas of oracle and calender, you could look at having not only a myth map but also kind of myth calender for your region. A lot of cultures have myths centered around the changing of the seasons and the activities that take place at different times in the year. It also ties in nicely to the idea of bio-regional moons that rix is talking about (I don't know how to use the tags so http://wilderix.wordpress.com/2008/02/01/full-moon-names-rewilding-your-calendar/).
I love it! Go for it!
I was also considering the idea of oracle not focused strictly around re-wilding but looking at the broader possible ways people will survive the future. There are so many different things that could happen and I think it might be interesting to explore how they could work out and interact.
Listen, if it makes your heart sing, I don’t think you have a choice. Do it! Do it! Add 'em to the oracle thread I’ll start right now, as soon as I finished writing this.
One final question. I know it isn't strictly relevant to this post, but of all the story games that people have played, do you think that In a Wicked Age is the best one to start people off with?
You know, I do recommend it. The rules feel really simple. It costs a lousy 10 bucks or so to get the electronic .pdf. Yep. Go for it! If you have one of those old school folders with the three metal clips you can do a three-hole punch after printing it out and it works out great. you also have as many copies of the game as you want to print. Also, if you want any advice learning/playing the game, don’t hesitate to ask.
I also would recommend Primtime Adventures, but I’ll write more on that later. Start with In A Wicked Age.
Now to split this thread!
