Since the October update, I have been hard at work! It has paid off. I now, finally, have a release candidate ready! Now all that is needed is some proofreading and then Oceania 2084 - the Orwellian TTRPG (the Austere Edition) will be released into the great unknown. It is scary and exhilarating all at once. This game is for me something very personal. It has been with me for over three years now. I have been working on it constantly. It is a challenge to both myself and anyone who will play it. Parts of it are autobiographical in nature, and it is very much a work of passion. 

If you are new to the project here's a little introductory text: 

Introducing "Oceania 2084" - a tabletop role-playing game that immerses you in a chilling dystopia set a century after George Orwell's renowned work, 1984. Prepare to embark on a daring adventure where hope flickers in the face of totalitarian control.

In this game, players must confront the harsh reality that victory over Big Brother, the embodiment of oppression, is an unattainable dream. As the Resistance Characters, you'll band together, not to overthrow the regime, but to resist and defy its suffocating grasp. Oceania 2084 embraces the complex nature of political struggle and challenges players to find solace in smaller victories, to cherish the moments of defiance amidst an unforgiving world.

Created by an author who has been active in the anarchist movement since the early 2000s, Oceania 2084 breaks free from traditional gaming conventions. It delves into the depths of human resilience, where hope thrives even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. This game dares you to explore the intricacies of resistance, to forge meaningful connections with others who refuse to surrender.

This game is an emotional journey, a poignant exploration of the human spirit. Oceania 2084 challenges players to confront the harsh reality that the battle against tyranny cannot always be won, but that the pursuit of hope, the refusal to surrender, and the resilience of the human soul are victories in their own right.

Will you answer the call to join the Resistance, to stand united against the omnipotent force of Big Brother? In Oceania 2084, immerse yourself in a world of dark secrets, clandestine operations, and bittersweet triumphs. It's time to embrace the struggle, to keep the flame of hope alive, even in a world where victory is not guaranteed.

The Austere Edition - to be released the 10th of November

The Austere Edition is a free (pay what you want) version of the game with minimal amounts of visual work done to it. It is not text only, but it isn't what it will be once the game is fully completed. You can check out the A5 first chapter preview if you are curious about how I envision the book to look.  In January it will hit Kickstarter in an attempt to fund the printing and distribution of a physical and visually beautified book. I hope that this gains some traction and that you share it with all your friends if you find it interesting, cool, thought-provoking, or any other things you might think.
