The Arkh Project

The Arkh Project is an effort by some queer people of color to make a 3-D RPG that runs off the beaten path. This blog tracks its development.

#Arkh needs help from our supporters of different cultures!

So what #Arkh has decided to explore for each level is a specific cultural story about either:

  • Romantic Love
  • Close, devoted friendship
  • Close familial relationships

Please send us notes and fanmail with the name of story, the culture it’s from, and a short synopsis of the story. You NEED to have a lot of information about the story, and preferably it’s a bit of a long, detailed story with numerous different versions and lots of background information on the main characters involved. Please only give us stories from a culture you are a part of, and do not give us stories if they are disrespectful for us to use.

We need stories that have a lot of information, because this will go into quests for each level of Arkh. We are looking for stories from the following general areas/races/cultures, and we are not picky about which culture within that area, as long as there is a lot of information on it:

  • South Asian
  • Indigenous (from any continent, PLEASE specify)
  • East African
  • East Asian
  • West African
  • West Indian
  • West Asian
  • South East Asian
  • Middle Eastern
  • Walking People/Rroma/Romani/Pavee

We’re doubly interested if any of these stories are mass celebrated with festivals/festivities of any kind!

Thanks so much to everyone for their continued support!

    Layla and Majnun is a pretty popular love-tragedy amongst arabs. Of course you can still turn to mesopotamian (iraqi)...
