Introducing A New Self Learning Personal Adventure

By Roger Parker


While a bit confusing, a new Self Learning Personal Adventure twelve week long tabletop board game with different themes is on it's way. The designers currently have a GoFundMe page to make it happen with a $10,093 dollar goal and $2,700 already funded. As such, there does appear to be an interest, at least of the 327 whom have donated thus far.

The concept for the game was born when two gamers were chatting about issues related to gaming online with others. One of the two suggested how it would be fun to send out post cards to people with mini-games on the back. Once having designed the first few postcards, the creators had a viable prototype with which to set up a GoFundMe page.

In the game, a series of adventures are to be played out over a twelve week period. In the first week, individuals will create characters, then in the next eleven weeks, small pieces of the game will be released one week at a time. During this time, individuals can begin talking about the game on Facebook by following the Adventure Post page, then clicking follow to begin chatting.

The first week's adventure relates to the work of Richard Garriott in the UDIC community. In this first week of game play, each player has committed a crime against humanity. As a sentence, each player must go through tough mental and physical challenges which will define the person as being their true self.

As part of the game, individuals will face lifelike dilemmas in which eight different virtuous questions will be answered. In preparing answers, it is important to be cautious. For, if not answering in a positive way, individuals may not be able to recover a mantle lost earlier in the game. In addition, the character which will play the foe will be based on the answers provided to these questions.

The board game can be found online at www boardgamegeek dot com. While the creators and inventors of the game know new games can often be challenging, there is also a shorter holiday version available on the website. For, the developers believe it is important to show interested parties what to expect once the official game is released.

In the holiday teaser, the creators have used on old style dungeon map which had been edited. Whereas, the official game maps will be drawn by professional illustrators at Dark Realm Maps. As such, the official game release will have original maps not subject to copyright infringement.

In addition to the holiday version, the creators also designed and developed a welcome package. The welcome package includes everything players need to begin the first twelve week adventure, including character creation instructions, dice, post cards and a custom logo embossed dice bag with four six sided dice. Whereas, as the GoFundMe account obtains more funding, additional post cards and adventures will be released.
