The City of IF Story - An Alternative to Free Online RPGs
The City of IF is a web site dedicated to the art of interactive storytelling, in which author and audience create a story together. The site was created by Mark Keavney, PhD, a web designer, writer, and longtime roleplaying game player. Below is a six-part history of the City of IF, which includes some general thoughts on myth such as greek mythology, roleplaying, and interactive storytelling, and a vision for the future.
Myth occupies a deep and abiding place in the human psyche. It has existed since we first became human and has been present in every culture in our history. Joseph Campbell, the leading scholar of mythology, argued that myth was the basis of all religion, philosophy, and art.
The importance of myth in human culture has been mirrored in my own experience. As a child, I was fascinated by stories of greek mythology and by fantasies such as C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia and Tolkien's Middle Earth. Those stories sparked my imagination and quickened my heart in a way that stories of "real life" did not.
