There’s a website called Eyes on Darfur<\/a> . In it, you can see satellite photographs of villages that have literally been destroyed by fighting there.<\/p>\n Let’s think about that for a moment. The core defense of the Government of Sudan has been “Nuh-uh!” for years. They’ve kept away UN observers and peacekeepers on the grounds that nothing’s going on. But the satellites fly overhead every few minutes. They see the smoke, they see the fire, and they see anything 2 meters wide and bigger. Like, say a Land Cruiser with machine guns mounted in the back.<\/p>\n Now, let’s consider using Shock: for something like this. Let’s talk about using Satellite photos or Google Earth as a Shock. Or the Space Station. Or camera phones. This might be a really interesting way to play. It loses the level of abstraction that, say, “Furries” and “Interstellar travel” give you, but it might gain some meat from familiarity.<\/p>\n Anyone who wants to, come over. We’ll play like this and see how it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s a website called Eyes on Darfur .
