Description

by Paul Dwyer and Katherine Hanna

Go back hundreds of thousands of years, when bands of early proto-humans struggled for survival with little but sticks, stones, and the lessons of hard-won experience. How to make tools, what is safe to eat, which creatures to hunt, and which to flee. With luck and the favor of the Spirits, you may yet survive... or even thrive.

The price of failure, of course, is extinction.

BABUL is a full immersion environment. No metagaming or modern distractions. No modern language. (This means that players will be penalized for speaking in the game area. Yes, really.) The immediacy of live combat with the safety of theatre-style gaming.

Get back to your hunter-gatherer roots, and experience the Stone Age.
