The RPG Eco Village - 2020 Imagine1
3Designed and photoshopped this morning - as a cover for my IMAGINE1 article
March 16th, 2020
- magic sunrise and a bird concert in the wilderness garden of our RPG Ecovillage. (RPG=Role Playing Game)
We are a "tribe" of around 100 residents + 50 guests in our educational RPG program, mostly young adults from all over the world. We share the beauty of a valley in a remote mountain range.
Our Ecovillage Community is more passionate about the "quality of being" than the "quantity of having". We live in simple but efficient huts designed by one of our architects. The cozy huts have an organic shape, blend into the natural surrounding, are extremely energy efficient and store the much needed heat in our sometimes cold nights. It always gives me the feeling of being a member of an ancient tribe with science fiction tools and tipis.
We grow our own food and exchange some of our products within the web of a national food cooperative. Transportation between the "food nodes" of our food network is organized by a logistic company with a focus on heavy goods vehicles "fueled" by a hybrid mix of organic raw materials and solar power.
The variety of our food is limited but our creativity with food combinations and tasty herbs has brought us a nutritious menu card. We have some residential cooks who are not only brilliant in their receipt inventions but also in the use of our solar- and clay ovens.
So summing up our
In-/Outside life conditions - the Ecovillage
- simple living in nature - the "quality of being" before the "quantity of having" value system
- eco huts that blend "ancient tribal living" with "science fiction" materials
- self grown and "webworked", nutritious, organic food - low variety of nutritious raw food but high variety of creative receipts and combinations of the ingredients
Sounds like a little Eden - but "Do we isolate from the rest of world ?" you might ask.
Our planetary service life - the RPG part
In the center of our eco-tribal-village we have our "Planetary VR Temple" VR stands for Virtual Reality.
We were tired of the word "global" and it´s meaning which has become loaded with "global market colonialism". We like to think of our "Global" services as "planetary" services. The emphasis here is on "Planet" as our shared, living mothership.
Our computer network is linked to the Web with a high speed satellite connection. It´s sometimes funny to see our 3D Artists, Game Designers, Actors, Video Editors, writers, musicians and sound engineers sitting barefooted with their iPads around the fire for the "reflection of the day" - which is always accompanied by guitars, drums and storytelling underneath the billions of stars in front of eco-huts and mountain ranges.
Our young guests in the therapeutic RPG program have sparkling and peaceful eyes in the unique blend of their beloved Virtual Worlds with this amazing Realworld scene - which many of them visited many times in our VR-MMORPG-Worlds (Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game).
And that´s what we create and share with the world: Edutaining, fun, playful, learning adventures in social media ecologies that reflect the beauty of the wild realword we live in day by day - as a post-modern tribal village. As an independent game studio we are valued for our authentic productions in an authentic production environment. Our games breath the authentic spirit of being on a transformative quest out in the wild that has a deep impact on our lives.
But we did not want to stop there: in the pure virtual service to the "outside" world. We wanted to invite our gamers actually to come to us and experience their online adventures live and in nature. Our Online RPG´s and LARPS (Live Action Role Playing Games) share the same archetypes, character cla****, skills, rulesets etc.
Our Psychologists and Therapists facilitate special programs for people suffering from "Online Game and virtual Addictions" - a disease which has been growing @ an alarming speed over the last decade. We provide the patients with the same Game experience they know from their online games - but transfered into the realworld LARPS being offered here. We offer different cla**** in our daily and weekly learning quests and adventures facilitated by mentors acting their role in cool costumes - like you might know from NPC´s (Non-Player Characters).
Our guests often go back into their lives with a feeling of being a lot closer to their original calling, their passions and skills, character traits, archetypal qualities and charisms - the experience of a "rite of passage" and "vision quest".
So an ecovillage, a post-modern "science fiction" tribe out in wilderness with a planetary, educational, playful Game studio service combined with learning adventure role playing games in nature - that´s my life in 2020.

Wow - this mission has quite some impact on me. By designing and writing the "best case" story I have been taught a big deal about where my true spark and calling is heading towards. I´m re-quoting the quote in the mission briefing:
"What I treasure most in life is being able to dream. During my most difficult moments and complex situations I have been able to dream of a more beautiful future."

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
