[INTRODUCTION] **dice dao**

It is with great happiness that we present DICE DAO, the RPG DAO

What is the DICE DAO Project?

DICE DAO’s proposal is to be a space for RPG players to enjoy their hobby and embark on the NEAR Protocol.

What is RPG?

RPG is a role-playing game where all players build a collective story. This is a very popular game that started in 1974 and has thousands of players all over the world.

RPG is a very exciting game and its players are extremely enthusiastic about it, making them dedicate themselves to the game and its related subjects.

It is a creative game where you develop characters, create stories, build worlds and let your imagination drive you.

The DICE DAO Project is the blueprint of a dream.
RPGs are many things for those who live in this “world”.

A blank sheet, where you can apply all your creativity and share it with your fellow players.

A way to have fun with your friends and by maintaining a common interest between them, it strengthens the bond of friendship and maintains contact between people with very different general interests, who without the RPG would have already lost contact and the friendship itself.
A safe place, without judgment. With inclusive, safe and non-judgmental tables, it brings a mental sanctuary for those who feel oppressed or excluded from mainstream hobbies.

A way to meet new people, make unusual friendships and open up to new possibilities.

A learning method, where players learn and exercise their minds about teamwork, strategy, organization and acting.

It’s a therapy, where you leave a lot of your stress, forget a little of the problems that plague your head and sometimes, even bring an idea from that world, to apply in a situation of the physical world.

So we from DICE DAO, who have lived in this world for so long, who have learned so much from it and from the people we knew in it, would like to extend this opportunity to more people and in the Metaverse world.

Who We Are

We are a group passionate about RPG and the benefits that its fantastic worlds bring.

DICE DAO Goals

  1. Provide a safe space for RPG players to get in touch with their hobby;
  2. Provide a community for RPG players to connect with each other;
  3. Be a bridge to bring players from the physical world to the Web 3;
  4. Expand the RPG by bringing non-players who are on Web3 into that world;
  5. Spread the culture and art included in the RPG.

Membership

How to become a member of DICE DAO?

For us, all RPG players are already in the community of the DICE DAO.

We will promote a group on Telegram so that our community feels like they belong and has access to the content that DAO will generate and promote.

In the future, when we develop our token [Dice$] we will open the DICE DAO AstroDAO for membership. We understand, in principle, that this will be done through the purchase of Dice$.

Projects

Here are small descriptions of the projects we have already conceived. Obviously, as the DICE DAO moves forward and with the connections with other DAOs, other projects will be designed.

  • LARPs

Project that develops periodic Live Actions. In addition to the normal LARP, the project aims to transport what happened in the physical world to the virtual world from photos and videos of the game to show the featured players, their interactions and the unfolding of the adventure as in a series.

  • RPG Sessions in the Metaverse

Conducting RPG sessions within the metaverse, where players use avatars. This project can extend to LARPS within the Metaverse with the avatars being the characters of the players and the actions performed by them. Both can be streamed live.

  • Learning RPG

Promoting games for beginners, especially for those already members of the NEAr community, thus integrating old players who do not know Web3 with beginner players who are already adapted to the metaverse.

  • Words from the Bard

Storytelling of lived adventures so that those who haven’t played can follow the progress of the game.

  • Publishing character and adventure stories

Some characters and stories are memorable and we want to register them through texts with images, publishing them in small brochures. Thus, the adventures and the characters that are in them become collections.

How to bring more people to the ecosystem

Naturally, we will already have a lot of people to enter the ecosystem right from the start given the connections that DICE DAO already has in the physical world.

In the long term, the aim is to bring more and more RPG players into the ecosystem. For this we want to promote DICE DAO within RPG conventions, large RPG groups and publishers around the world. The novelty and the possibility of another game space will certainly attract the attention of the players.

How to be self sustentable

With the time and stability of DICE DAO we will be able to receive sponsorship from publishers and companies that work in the RPG scene.

Another way to maintain DICE DAO on its own is to sell the products that we will produce in the projects, whether digitally or even physically.

We can also collaborate with the organization and execution of symposia, congresses and conventions

Connections on physical world

The groups indicated below are already contacts that DICE DAO has in the physical world from its members. This is just a taste of the scalability that DICE DAO can have.

  • Ludus Magisterium: Group of Brazilian educators who use games/RPG in the classroom (2 Symposia; 1 annals; 1 book; 180 active members; dozens of initiatives)

  • RIO V5 Vampire LARP: Vampire 5 player group recognized by White Wolf - creator of the system. (connected with other Vampire groups in several cities in Brazil; conceived by actor Daniel Braga)

  • Devir Editora: Contact with the publisher that publishes translated RPG books in Brazil (95,000 followers on Facebook, 32,000 on Instagram, 15,000 on Twitter; 35 years of experience

  • Deseduca Lab: Group of Educator Designers from ESDI/UERJ who, in addition to other themes, work on the RPG theme (Research Laboratory of the State University of Rio de Janeiro, campus of the Escola Superior de Desenho Industrial; 30 members; several researches carried out and in progress; participation of symposia, conversation circles and lectures; connection with several other design research laboratories)

  • Jogamitá: Meeting of board games and role-playing games at a school in Brazil in its 16th edition (Constructivist school with various social actions and with more than 4000 followers on Instagram)

  • Se joga:Games and RPG event focused on inclusion, diversity and LGBTQIA+ (2800 followers on instagram and 3000 on Facebook)

  • Gorro do Saci:Game developers group (Participation in symposia; courses for games in education and dozens of games created)

Possible partner DAOs

Here are a few examples, but we believe that when DICE DAO is consolidated, naturally other partnerships will appear.

  • Publisher DAO: regarding comics publications, we can make a partnership between adventures and comics
  • Design Guild: for the creation of the visual identity
  • LP DAO: regarding performances, character acting partnership and LARPs
  • Writers Guild: for creating characters´s background and adventures
  • Metaverse DAO: in the CampFire event to tell the adventures lived in the RPG

Who’s our team?

Segadas is 48 years old. He is a translator, interpreter and Commercial Director at iGaming Brazil. Passionate about games from a very young age, he entered the world of RPG at the age of 7, when he was introduced to D&D. He maintains the RPG as an activity until the present day, having already presented/taught the game to hundreds of people. It brought many Magic the Gathering players to the RPG (played for 20 years) and now does the same with Heroclix players (has been playing for 10 years, National champion in 2018).

thank you <3 it was made with much love

Wow, @beetlejuice and @Segadas, that is an awesome idea! I cant wait to see the development of this DAO. So many gamifying experiences now happening on metaverse, that it seems the right moment to build it. To bring gamers to NEAR is an excellent call, because they will probably like to use near ecosystem to acquire and trade NFTs (for RPG use). Congrats! I am excited with the DAO.
