Dredj Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I was wondering how Shock: Social Science Fiction is working for world-building, as I know a few people on this forum bought it based on my recommendation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 It has arrived here a short while ago, and it has turned out to be a good brainstorming tool for inventing new conflicts for my existing setting and to introduce them and their consequences into the setting. The best thing for us was that it really has helped us to think about the potential conflicts already built into our setting and to identify and formu- late them. I would very much appreciate if it were a little less "open" and would have some more rules, but on the other hand I realize that it would be almost impossible to design such rules.

rust Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 "Aria, Canticle of the Monomyth" I have a copy of Arya, and we even did play it - once. It felt like designing a spacegoing submersible fighter carrier with GURPS Vehicles, the ideal pas- time for masochists ... >:-> Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."
