What if you offered to make a character’s dreams come true and all they have to do is follow the clues?

What if the clues, were QR codes that displayed information or loaded a website and led to the next clue? What if you put several of the codes together to form a larger code? Say… nine of them, that form a tenth… If you had… six of these groups, you cover the faces of a cube, like a Rubik’s cube… Once solved, the six clues will show the character how to make all their dreams come true!

Of course, no one promised they would be the good dreams…

And that’s how you introduce Lamarchand’s Lament Configuration to cyberpunk…

So I had a thought yesterday for a theme. Make it a session, a scenario, or even a campaign.

“Only The Blind Can See”

Admittedly, I don’t have this very well thought out because that’s not the way I run games. Typically, a campaign for me starts with a single thought such as above and doesn’t get anymore development until about 20 minutes into the first session.

In this case however, a few thoughts flooded in after that initial thought.

What if the blind could be made to see by using VR?

What if their VR world was just as good as our own, or even better?

What if the only way to live on this world, was to be blind?

What if those who could see, denied entry into this new world, came to be considered ‘blind’?

What if people were willing to trade their sight so they could enter this better world?

What would it cost other than their sight, what would they pay to become blind?

Who would choose if a person could become blind or not?

I don’t know, maybe I got something, maybe it’s just goofy nonsense. I’m often struck by the concepts of disabilities and what happens when the perception of a disability (especially sensory ones like sight and hearing) is reversed. Even more so when technology makes it possible to explore that reversal.

What if we could restore sight for 6m additional blind people? https://goo.gl/fm6zNw

Don’t know why I never noticed this before, but for an 80’s cartoon, Inspector Gadget was majorly cyberpunk.
