Go Play NW Forums

A storytelling RPG, taking the beliefs of the Mormon afterlife to their logical conclusion.

4 players, each playing a real sister wife of Joseph Smith on another planet.

This game has been play tested extensively, and is being judged for The Vernal Star competition by Games To Gather. In any case, it is in the process of being published. As one of the creators of the game, I am able to play the game as intended, as well as answer any questions about it, and accept feedback. Kolob: For Eternity covers some very serious topics, such as afterlife, power dynamics, patriarchy, manipulation, but does so in a lighthearted way. The game is meant to be played through laughter and enjoyment.

Experience with Mormonism or Storytelling RPG's isn't necessary. The game revolves around inter-personal relationships, and includes many seeds for story lines and dialogue.

I'm something of a geek about Mormonism, and this sounds fun.

EDIT: And please add Bonnie Beyea as another player. Thanks.

I'm excited to have you play! I'd love to talk with you about Mormonism and the messed up history that helped create this game.

Hi Madi--

My spouse Victoria Garcia (who can't log in right now) would like to play too!

Would love to grab a spot if there's one left, though I think it went to Victoria?

I have an ironic but generous take on Mormonism on my old website, if you want to get some idea of where I'm coming from: http://www.jonathantweet.com/jotreligionlds.html

Yes, we are all full, however, if another 3-4 people express interest, I would be happy to run it again!

What an incredibly fascinating read! I found your take on the LDS faith from a very broad and historically American perspective very interesting and new to me. What you were saying made so much sense; I'd never thought of it from a historical perspective.

Now I am even more pumped!

Please include me in those 3-4 people expressing interest to try and get another game going. Thanks!

twelves, and jbsworth, It turns out I didn't get enough players to run another game, but I'd be happy to talk more about it and figure something out if we can.

I'll see everyone else on Saturday!
