 Ontolosna, the Bright Journey Gaming Project, a long term world world creation exercise by John. Ontolosna is a progressive realm of female power where violent warfare is comparatively rare, and where humans create and direct their deities in massive Theagyn ('goddess birthing') rituals. Ontolosna’s cultural analogues are North Asian in inspiration — Tibet, India, Korea, China, Japan — and the project’s design aims are to question and explore notions of gender construction, religion, myth, violence and social change in a game environment with a particular eye to the nuances of genre. Ontolosna is equally utopian and dystopian in its portrayal of the various peoples who live beneath the ever-changing eye of On, the Great Lantern. [Ontolosna Wiki - An eternal work in progress].
