DaRev and I played something we called Improving. Not improvisational theater or comedy, but storytelling. We created worlds that we worked in and others had a lot of fun playing in. We were the diceless role players, taking on characters as diverse as a universe could get.
We built worlds.
We built civilizations and destroyed them.
We embraced weirdness in many forms.
Portal was possibly the biggest world we created. Born of the need for a set of gods to be loved, part of the Greek pantheon took a ship off Earth and sought out a place where magic could still be found.
Only, it was lonely.
Instead of going through all that creation stuff again, they knew there was a perfectly good race of humans out there to be enticed ... or ... shifted. People in need of succor became the first people on Portal via ... well, portals. They never opened in the same place twice and the mix of people was extensive. From Black Ops to street urchins, they all made their way to the world.
Of course, at some point, life became a little harried and the civilization collapsed and had to be rebuilt.
Give me a few days and the hilights of Portal will appear. Now, all I need is a scanner because a friend drew up some of the characters in another run, pre my involvement, and she did a marvelous job. Shannon Richmeyer who's married name I have absolutely no idea what it is!
More to come.
