Rollenspiel
Evil Hat haben diesmal nicht einfach ein neues Rollenspiel verlegt sondern gehen den Weg über Kickstarter. Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple ist ein Rollenspiel aus der Feder von Daniel Solis und handelt als Erzählorientiertes Rollenspiel von Menschen die anderen helfen und immer wieder in Schwierigkeiten kommen bzw genau durch diese Schwierigkeiten helfen. Klingt komisch ist aber so. Das Projekt ist sehr erfolgreich und noch sind 44 Tage Zeit bis das Spendenziel erreicht sein muss doch schon sind die benätigten 4000$ erreicht. Die Macher sind nun am überlegen was sie noch alles tollen anstellen können um den einzelnen Spendern noch mehr für ihr Geld geben zu können. Bisher sieht aufmachung, Ausstattung und Mechanik des ganzen recht vielversprechend aus.
Im Detail heißt es dazu:
The Worlds Next Door
In Do, your stories are set in a universe of open, endless skies. Many tiny worlds orbit around the Flying Temple in the center of the universe. When a worldly person has a problem, they write a letter to the temple asking for help.
The Pilgrims of the Flying Temple
The temple elders send young monks-in-training on a Pilgrimage, a stack of letters in-hand. The pilgrims are given a simple mission: „Leave this world with fewer problems than you found.“ Your stories are about the pilgrims helping people, but causing new troubles in the process.Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple is a storytelling game about helping people and getting into trouble, for 3-5 players, ages 12 and up. Players tell the story of young travelers who help people, but spend most of their time getting into trouble. They use creativity and strategy to create a humorous coming-of-age adventure in a universe of endless skies and tiny planets.
Do is the latest release by game designer Daniel Solis, creator of Happy Birthday, Robot!, a storytelling game designed for children and families. In Do, he continues blurring the lines between Euro-style board games and role-playing games to create fun, light-hearted games that easily build stories. This time, the game is designed for a young adult audience.
“I was inspired by Nickelodeon’s Avatar: the Last Airbender, The Little Prince, and the Kino’s Journey anime series.†Solis says. “I combined those influences into a new storytelling game set in a weird new universe. I’m happy to say Do consistently produces a funny, creatively engaging and strategically interesting experience.â€
Evil Hat Productions, publishers of the Dresden Files Role-Playing Game, has a long history of fostering independent game design. Now, Evil Hat is partnering with Daniel Solis to help bring Do into production by raising funds on Kickstarter, a crowdsource fundraising site commonly used to fund artistic endeavors like film production, novel publication and game development.
The goal is to raise $4,000 in 45 days.  Kickstarter allows people to pledge whatever amount they wish, but no money is deducted until the $4,000 goal is reached, so it’s a no-risk way to help small-press games enter the market.
