Learning through games is important, because a)we want to reach out and touch people and we want to learn ourselves. b) we want to teach our children, and c) we want to change our world. We want to learn things, but we don't learn things when they're boring or stupid. It has to be fun, and then people want to do more and learn. What is fun and interesting to people, are the things that touch something in their guts. If it doesn't hit something inside, they won't care. And what humans like more than anything else, is learning - and through learning they change. There's a need for games that touch something in people's guts, so they'll want to play them, and learn the things that are good for them, and in learning, they'll become people who change the world.
Everybody has dreams. In those dreams, you're rarely yourself, you're another version of you. You imagine yourself being someone more like a superhero. So you watch movies and play games where you can be someone larger than life, but still close enough that you can associate with it. When you imagine yourself playing a role, you are role playing. Games where you are playing a role, are role playing games. The first things most RPGs have you do, is to build a character. How strong do you want to be? Do you want to be a rogue, or a magic user, or a girl with big tits? It helps you to get into it. You like playing roles, most of you do it all day long, at work, at home, in games ...
There is a need for a series of role playing games, to help people learn about the different Clans, to learn what it is to be a Senser, a Shaper, a Source, and how these different Clans relate to things in your actual life. And to learn that through playing fascinating games that you can really get into. It'll help you learn and grow, and give you a really good idea of how each of the Clans respond to situations - so that when you want to pick a Clan, you know what you'll like and how to go about it.
