Microcosm :: Memes and RPGs

Tuesday, April 10, 2007

I don't usually do memes, but this one is nifty. It's an RPG called Microcosm by Levi Kornelson that's being distributed via meme. And it's a good RPG to boot. It's specifically made for quick-play and for introducing non-gamers to the hobby. As part of the meme, Levi has made a little RPG style personality quiz. Turns out I'm an Action gamer. Big surprise, I know.

Check out the What roleplaying genre would you be great at? quiz, and earn game awards that you can use when you play Microcosm.

Combined with the capability for imagining and describing characters in motion, and the ability to deliver punchy one-liners, you’ve got a few of the central skills that a player needs to excel at action-based roleplaying. If you’d like to put these skills to use right away, you can click and download Microcosm. It’s a free, introductory roleplaying game. If you decide to go for it, remember the awards on the left; those are ones your group may want to use.
