Evoke RPG

Is there any interest in playing a minimus game centered around EVOKE on EVOKE?

We currently have 2 players, and we're looking for a third.

I think an EVOKE based RPG would be great, especially if it has a learning component to it as well. We could get younger kids involved in the ideas inspired by EVOKE at a young age so that as they grow up they can be facilitators of change. I would also love to see a fusion between an RPG game and real world application opportunities. I think the collaborative effort could really be used to effect change in our world and foster peaceful interactions between cultures and communities.

Er, I think we're using different terms. My fault. Minimus is a tabletop RPG, not computerized. What I would like to do is explore some scenarios that EVOKE looks at using this RPG.

I like the idea, but you're going to have to rewrite the minimus guide to make it applicable. It was a bit too much for my little brain to translate a wizard and a theif into something Evoke-ish!

In a sense, Evoke is an online RPG with blurred edges. I wish we could keep it going beyound the 8 weeks!

Joesph, I'm starting the character design... today, actually.

In terms of the character you play, basically think about what attributes an EVOKE agent would have. Someone being deployed not in Japan, but somewhere like it. Then I'll take those agents through a deployment and we'll see what insights and fun we can have.

I'd love to do an Evoke-based RPG. I was planning on running something for my gaming group using either GURPS or Shadowrun.

@Andrew, Cool. I like minimus for online, easy entry RPGs, but gurps could be cool in person. (I don't suppose you're in sydney.) Think up a character concept and post on the thread above. I need one more person to post a concept before we get started.
