Thought Club: Invitation

This project is a sizable commitment. I emphasize now that it IS a project... not just a game, or a club. You have to be willing to read up to X pages of text, non-fiction or fiction, you need to commit to watching any movies another pair puts on their mandatory thought list. You should frequent the presenting partners' blog or website to see the exhibits they have curated. Everyone will also participate in the event the partners choose to raise awareness for.

You have to understand that this is, on one level, a Multimedia Book Club with a LARP twist.

You will initially be given two randomly drawn cards that give you statuses as Hero, Villain, or Hybrid, and your  impairment or gift. As we go through thought club, you will be creating your superperson's character. The more intense and compelling the character's backstory becomes the better.

That comes secondary to the actual thought club, in which each of us partners with someone and leads one monthly presentation with the theme of our own choosing as well as a philanthropy project both agree on.

I will be the first moderator for my incarnation of the game, but I am also a player and I hope to have as many other 'leagues' join me in my prototype as wish to.

There will be twelve initial pairs in this prototype thought club, 24 people in total.
