Sounds from the Stoneage is a (live) performance of the eponymous RPG, a blend of poetry and sound experiments, which unites in a phantasma of violence, occultism and madness. A multiplayer gaming for all and none.


Sounds of the Stoneage is a legacy deck-building RPG, which generates autonomous references to space and time and moves by continous change of creation and destruction. With alternate forms of expression like sound, movement and poetry, which act as much as possible independet of technology and beyond control mechanisms, it allows a trip back to the future. To be precise to prehistory, where a change of perspective shows new directions to get to the basics of true life and to lead culture out of its infinite loop. Occult rituals are performed to awaken cosmic powers and release waves which enable new and unexpected composites of realities. SotSA is multiplayer gaming for all and none, with emphasis on organization.
