Looking back over the news updates, we realized that things have seemed very quiet at Zakelro! this year. However, nothing could be further from the truth. We may not have been externally active, but internally things have been hopping! And we have every reason to believe that very soon we’re going to have cause to update the Zakelro! news page far more frequently than ever before.
It all begins as we scramble to prepare for a big announcement as early as the end of the month.
In preparation for our imminent extraversion, we’ve unleashed an updated theme across the Zakelro! network. It’s lighter, cleaner, and scales down quite nicely to mobile screen sizes. It also contains a clue about our upcoming announcement. Can you find it?
We’re still tweaking details and adding functionality, so be sure to chime in and let us know if anything looks askew, or if you’d like to see something new–feature-wise, that is.
The HoneyComb Engine: Rev03 is a participatory storytelling system that provides a role playing experience unlike any other. Designed from the ground up to focus on rich participatory storytelling rather than the simulation of reality or on complex mechanics, Rev 03 stories feel more like traditional folklore. And, like folklore, all the people involved in the storytelling experience have a significant impact on the creation of the story.
Rev 03 can be tightly integrated into your storyworld, as it represents an elemental cosmology that can be discussed without ever “breaking character.” This decreases the amount of time spent explaining rules before playing, as novice storytellers are able to explore the system while they explore the world. The system is also designed to be as accessible as possible, with only a single ten sided die and basic math skills needed.
