discuss where Runeacape game stories are goingOld School RS Gold, and if telling a compelling narrative with more than one Runeacape player is even feasible.I'm of the belief, and I'm sure you probably are as well, that interaction itself is possibly our most powerful storytelling medium, once it's been fully explored. laughs Sometime during the next 2,000 years.Exactly. And I do think we'll get to the point, if we're not there already, where we can have as moving of an experience playing a Runeacape game as we might reading a canonical work of fiction?That's definitely possible already, especially if you can accept that the way it will be moving might feel different from your experiences with fiction. I've definitely had experiences with Runeacape games that, in their way, were as memorable as things that caused me to ask questions about myself or about other people, or realize things about the way the world works that were profoundly powerful.I think Anna Anthropy's Dys4ia is an amazing example of that. It puts you into that situation in a way that just a written memoir would be a little bit different, a little bit distancing and not as visceral.

It's not a raid, it's not people teaming up in an RTS or something. It's about your charter making decisions, my character making decisions, exploring why.Our project wasn't really headed in this kind of super artsy direction... which when I say it sounds Cheap DarkScape Gold
