Kalash of Cultures - Pakistan: http://youtu.be/qEXnEfdvv6s The argument: 1. Watch the video; this Dardic mountain tribe plays polo. They fiercely fought for their independence through the ages, till the British arrived; at which point they adopted some British customs like playing polo on weekends (although they claim they invented the game first). 2. The Kalasha have lived in geographic isolation for so long that their DNA has diverged. But, there are markers to suggest that they come from around the Mediterranean(that is, that they are Dardic). There are 2 theories as to how they got there: a. They were travellers along the silk route who decided to settle in a scenic location and sell spices, apricots and cherries (the latter two do not grow in the subcontinent, only in the Mediterranean; and with no contact with the outside world for centuries, there's no other way they could've gotten these fruits) b.

ReplyDeleteYes yes So yes
ReplyDeleteWhose got two thumbs and wants in on the rpg?? This guy!!
ReplyDeleteInterested!!!
ReplyDeleteI will say the people who ran the RPG said they'd love to see more games being made by players!
ReplyDelete[shaking bag of dice]
ReplyDeleteReady!
Of course!! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteand now we have the sourcebook drive.google.com - FINAL--Sourcebook.pdf - Google Drive
ReplyDeleteAlright - I am going to set up a Storium game as a start and then see what else might come up - if anyone is starting anything - let me know!
ReplyDeleteSo I am going to create a Storium Game to run using the sourcebook and Ingress info - I am thinking this is the tagline - They didn't know who they were, who they really were. Each an Archetype, one of 13 needed to form a MAGNUS. They will start strangers, but by the end of the journey they will be united... or dead.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a short adventure of a group coming together not knowing what an Archetype is or that they are one and ending up... well, whereever the game and players take it - yeah it does sound a little familiar... :P but hey... plus Storium is a platform where there may be players who do not know about Ingress... a fun mix
thoughts?
JoJo Stratton I think we should wait until they release the rules that they used in Navarro so that we can get a real game going.
ReplyDeleteJoJo Stratton Love the idea. I'd love an invite even more. ;)
ReplyDeleteKosh TheRipper definitely want to play a full on rpg with the full game mechanics. Storium mixes writing and game mechanics so it can work with just the sourcebook
ReplyDeleteI'm interested.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually thinking that an Ingress RPG could run well on Savage Worlds with few adjustments. I just need to see every character sheet so I could see how the archetypes are stated and their xm based special abilities. I think, if anything, some balancing would be needed to the alignment stats for a port to work, but alot of the abilities I saw could work as magic trappings.
(Who knows, maybe I will create #campStoryTeller next year. :D)
