What about Role Playing as a Marketing Tool?

In what will be hailed as a new frontier in marketing "Role Playing is about to become a major force." Heed the words of Sear Rhykan, the marketing Guru. This is marketing taken to its next level!

Players will be given roles as advertising executives, newsletter writers, movie critics, copy writers, brain surgeons, kalamazoos, average Joe's, test drivers, and on and on.

Other players will take the parts of the notorious "Big Box Store Owners", Mutual fund salesmen, real-estate guru, used car salesman, blanket manufacturer, president of a 3rd world country, paranoid leader of a 1st level country that is not an Empire, but wants to be.

They will be given a few hours to settle into the new world and set it in order. This will be called 'The New World Order'. Who said that anyway? Once this has been done the "average Joe's" will be sent out to spend. Spend, spend, buy until all the money they have is in the hands of a couple of the Elite. Once this has been accomplished the game will move to a new level.

We will call this the "Screenspam" stage. It is made necessary by the shortage of cash in "Joe's" jeans. I wonder how we can solve this problem.

Maybe if we introduce a new bunch of players! Bankers! Consumer credit companies! Right on! Now the boys have another source of 'funds' to play with. It may not be cash, but... Let's see what they are going to do. We will have to keep the 'Big Boxes' open until midnight for a while here.

They copywriters and advertising executives are all having little organisms thinking about the new wave of consumerism. New stores are being built. Postal employees are looking for a raise. At the end of each month Taxis are full, heading for the Mall!

Hot Damm, you did it Greeny!

About the author:

I am known as an acommplished role player and write my own games. I have writen games and roles for over 7 years, and have now branched into games with a bit of 21 century marketing and economic basis. I believe this will become more and more popular as players tire of the same old Dragons and Monsters. When they start to realize the havoc that can be 'playerd' when taking a part in one of the new order marketing games.
