Do you have the ability to bring wondrous characters, beasts, and terrain to life in a virtual environment?
Can your sculpt transport someone to far-away lands of adventure?
Can your visions translate into 3D printing and onto the tabletop?!
If so...
Be a part of The Skies of Seorsus: a Creative Worlds educational RPG
Project Imo is building out our own tabletop educational opportunities for youth. Our Creative Worlds games integrate immersive tabletop gaming and off-table activities that encourage social-emotional, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math), and conservation learning.
The Skies of Seorsus will feature a partially defined world that allows educators and players to have creative spaces and build themselves into the larger story universe in an inclusive, engaging, and rules agnostic way.
Our Creative Worlds system in-development will be a highly adaptable, easy to implement game that incorporates elements of tabletop role playing, board gaming, formal educational tools, experiential SEL activities, STEAM learning, and conservation education.
We are looking for creative, team-oriented 3D sculptors who understand 3D printing to help bring the world of Seorsus to live through character-driven stories, wonderous descriptions of fantastic beasts, and more.
If you love RPG adventure and helping kids explore natural sciences in creative and prosocial ways, then this opportunity is for YOU!
